Hondas are cheap, and has a huge aftermarket. It makes for a easy tuner choice. Lets also not forget the fact they are durable. However, most of that market is full of young kids that have a little money and buy all the dumbest looking shit to attach to these things. For that it stereotypes most if not all Honda drivers.
WRX new cost about 23,000 or more? 270 hp or what not. Ok great. I bought a 1997 honda civic 4 door. I added: B18 b1 engine, 14b eclipse turbo setup upgraded to a 20g turbine, 800cc injectors, 18 lbs of boost. I got alot of these parts cheap at the junkyard. Total spent: $2000 for the car, and about $7000 in parts. So for $9000 I had a very fast compact sports car. Basically brand new after restoration. Have owned it for 7 years. I am on the second block but I can get blocks all day for $300 bucks. I spent alot of time doing this yes, but I know how it ticks, and know when I can push my limits. Thats the power of built not bought.
Oh and by the way..Its at 390whp.
