Are you testing my Honda knowledge? Hehe... first off... the 3rd gens only came in 2.0 and 2.1. We had a 91 2.1 SI with ABS (came with either ABS or 4WS) a few years back as a project car. Was a nice car, and was definately a lot faster than any Celica (well, most 4th-5th-6th gens). You are entitled to your opinion, but not all cars are created equally. The reason you lose torque... you're running a BLOODY HUGE exhaust. Any bigger than 2.25 on an n/a 4 cyclinder is overkill. Exhaust velocity means a lot. I did mention that didn't I? Maybe you should judge yourself also. And no... you'll get handed by the new Honda K series. They make more torque that your 5SFE. The 5SFE is just not designed to compete with those motors... so stop that argument. The Honda K series is probably one of the best n/a 4 cylinders built to date. They make almost as much horsepower per liter as the S2000 F20C, their torque response is definately better, and they have stock forged internals, are a perfect square design, and can easily rev up to 9k rpms. What's not to love? As far as hating Hondas... give me a better reason than "low torque" as to why you dislike hondas. Tell me they burn oil, tell me their valves leak after a while, tell me anything aside from "low torque" and I won't fight you. Finally, that last part of your topic is completely opposite of everything you just said... so figure it out man... Good riddence...
