I had a guy approach me at random the other day, he said "I have a project Integra that I am doing a B18 LS/VTEC swap on, mind if I look under your Civic's hood?"
I looked at him, stepped a few feet from my car and pointed at the Accord name badge. I told him Civics are for delusional kids that think they can go fast on a stock 1.6L motor and that they felt too small and cheap to me, so I would never own a Civic.
I told him I have a big block 2.2L Honda motor under the hood. I also told him that I like the big block Honda motors better than any of the 1.6L or 1.8L motors in Civics and Integras. "But your motor is only a SOHC" he says, "it has to be weak sauce." I let him know it has more potential than he is giving it credit for, then explained to him I was putting an H22A4 in eventually to replace the F22A6. He asked me if it was hard to swap the F22A6 into my Accord, I told him "no, since it came like that from the factory..."
The whole time he is staring at me with a blank look on his face. He thought for a minute then asked "what's an H22A4?". I told him it's the same displacement with DOHC and VTEC and should put down respectable power without a turbo. *blank stare continues* The I said "it's the same motor as the top of the line Prelude." I saw the gears turning and his expression lit up, but all he said was "oh".
After staring at the SOHC motor for a few more seconds he said "so ... do you want to race?". I looked at him and said "I'm a grown up, but if you can afford a track pass I'll see your Integra at an autocross event." His only response was "well you're a pussy then if you don't want to race on the streets." I let him know, my life/the lives of others and insurance premiums are more important to me than his silly opinion, and he should go find some Civics to play with.
Dumb kid, Accords are for big boys...
Got any other dumb "Honda" fanboy stories? I like to hear them.
