ok cool thats what I was originally talking about anyways, back in my hatch days the B20 was the way to go for torque in a honda motor. B20 block/B18 head, man that was some fun times...Evo rocks though

Normally, I wouldn't care, but the Civic forums are now filled with comments like "wow i had no idea, i have to get a k20!!! i just cant get over that evo8 race the eg just walked away no problem!!!!!!!! WOW i want it for my crx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Which means every fool in a Civic is going to try to race me now, and I've given up street racing
sounds about right - a stupid video
