You needed to do that tensioner upgrade, but its a expensive fix.

My favorite Honda beaters that have a fun zippy potential:

Civic HB EG
Civic HB EK
Acura Integra Type R - a tad bit expensive beater

If I had money

NSX

Never liked

S2000
Honda Fit - stupid riceboys who put an exhaust and change the tags to Honda "JAZZ" JDM. - had a few of these idiots want to race me in traffic.
Honda Accords - always a luxury sedan rip off
Honda CRV - Ugly SUV

Honda motorcycles, ATV, and fun fun offroad bikes - AWESOME


Mitsubishi's that I like:

all DSMS
2Gb Eclipse (only - all other new Eclipse suck)
All Lancer Evo family
1999 Mitsubishi GTO (3000GT) VR4 - final body design.

Used to like the FTO when I was younger, but the 2Gb kills it in looks and has turbo and more power =).

Holy shit ryan!! I barely fit into a S2000..  my knees hit the dashboard and i can barely reach to ignition around my knee to put the key in!!  I can only imagine you trying to get in and out of one of those lol.

I see why you got rid of it.  A DSM is MUCH MUCH roomier for us bigger guys.
I like Colts.  Turbo Colts.

Colts have much more leg room than an s2000... which makes just about no sense.

And they mount that engine pretty far back, and frankly it's not actually a large car and that convertible top has to go somewhere so basically the passenger cab gets to be "whatever is left"
