I have both a 2003 Honda Accord and a 2004 600rr.

Quality-wise, they're both pretty nice I think.

Yeah I think the new accords are really sharp. And have an appropriate amount of power.

I had an 88 Prelude Si, inherited the car with 18k miles, one "lady" owner (mom). I broke a control arm on it, on the street. Had it for 2 years. It got stolen, then recovered with dubs a system, and a cut exhaust.

Then I had a new 98 Accord EX-V6. Interior wouldn't stop rattling, a window regulator broke, and two automatic transmissions. Gave the car to my sister, I believe it's about to go in to get another transmission.

I like the S2k, but unfortunately Honda doesn't build such cars very often. The Integra Hype-R is quite the machine, and the new Si is also pretty cool though.

It is unfortunately that Honda only has brief moments of brilliance with sports cars. Hopefully they'll come out with something new in 1-2 years (affordable, not like the new $texas NSX) instead of shunning sports cars altogether like Toyota has done for the last 10 years.

Honda is a smart business with management smart enough to make choices that cater to what the market demands.

How many nsx's and s2000s do you see on a daily basis. How many odysseys, civics, and accords?

I'm amazed they can sell a 100hp/L car for under 22k$.

Its not even tweaked out from the factory. I wish they had revised the s2000 and stuck the k20 in it at a miata+2k price. I think they are the only two honda motors that spin clockwise. You cant tell me that was a coincidence. Too bad the economy plummeted. I wouldn't want to be on an R&D team for a sports car anywhere.

the civic si has been losing every Motortrend comparison I've read lately

the Rabbit/Golf ends up first every time (even in "sportiness"). someone with IRL experience with both care to chime in?

I've seen a couple of current generation si's on track, and they seem very capable. I don't place much weight on magazine reviews. The orig. Type-R's and the S2000 are amongst the very best/most track ready cars to be for sale from any manufacturer, and they were all relative bargains. So I'm ok with the fact that most Hondas are crap.

I dont see how a modern day SI would be any worse than a type r. Almost exact same power to weight with a much more advanced engine.

I think the hype would be placebo enough to give the integra the vote but I doubt its much better if at all.

Quinn, I don't care about power/weight of the Hype-R, my run of the mill M3 was faster. The S2k isn't fast either, it's the chassis balance I'm after. It's certainly not power/weight that makes either the type R, or the S2000 so much fun to drive. The above applies to the new Si as well. Steering/chassis feedback, brakes, etc. is the sauce. Anybody can make a fast car, there's a reason nobody's raving about how much fun the new Mustang is on track...

Quite often. But when it comes to refusal to touch a Honda or Toyota, it's usually backwoods or smalltown or seriously old school.

I'll work on anything...the weirder, the more entertaining. As long as I have the correct tools.

yeah thats what kinda mechanic i'd be, if i were any kind of fucking mechanic lol

my friend turned out to be gay, which was obvious...but he was old school...he was a big fan of like the 20 foot lincolns with big engines etc...in hs he'd park it on the curb of the student parking lot and i swear it took almost 2 spots...i think he liked mercury too, cant remember

i got a few mechanic stories i'd like to get another mechanics opinion on tbqh...i mean this guy literally would only use one particular type of oil(something quaker state)

they are not hard cars to work on by any stretch.

it seems like it would be pretty easy money.

I had a few machine shops not even willing to give me a quote on over boring a block. I dont know why...it wasnt even a special sleeve or anything. Just run of the mill 1992 crap.
