2001 Integra Type R. Sweet! I had a '98 model in championship white. Don't make many cars like that these days... so nice and light... around 2600 lbs... great autocross and track day cars.

Not sure about that one in the shot, but most kits make about 300-350whp. The big improvement is in the low-end though, where even with a little lag you get vastly improved torque. Stock motors are pretty wimpy down low, especially the earlier 2.0/9k rpm years.

Kinda sacrilege to turbo though, as they are so smooth and impressively strong up top for a normally-aspirated car...highest HP per liter of any N/A production (piston) car for all 10 years they were made. Only recently beat out by the new Ferrari 458 Italia.
