What has a 130hp non vtec 4age got to do with this thread ?
I have a friend that runs one in a rwd starlet that came 2nd in the redline thrash a year or so ago, strangely beating a lot of turbo machinery except his bosses 700hp celica.
Back onto hondas I've not owned one but have driven the early integra type r a few times and it was very impressive, I wouldn't call them slow at all.
