First, they are 20 years old regardless of who made it or where it was made its gonna break in that period of time.Finally for the reliability end anything can last if you know how to keep it up.
You kinda contradict yourself.

Well to get things back on topic I'm hoping to get a saturday away from work just to make it to the track. Then I will try for some 60' under 2.4sec and break into the 15s @87mph. Completely stock on my Ga. After I accomplish that then the goal is to find a decent platform for a project.:icon_king:

Your problem is that what you say comes across as offensive and you don't even realize it. Maybe you should take a little more time thinking about what you say instead of spitting out "Small car + 4 banger = econobox" and then acting like you didn't say anything retarded.
How the hell is calling an orange an orange offensive. I didn't say all the 4 cylinder cars in the world pieces of crap or something like that did I? Can we not all agree that those kinds of cars were designed and built to be economical, even the ones that are fast were engineered to be fast on a budget right. If you take offense to that then you are just too goddamn sensative and need to lighten up a bit.

What, dude shit happens but you'll step in it a lot less if you know what to look for right?

You know what CapitlJ? You don't seem to be posting anything worth while on this site nor do you show anybody respect. I will tell you this... If you don't start moderating yourself and think before you type, I will. It's a good thing I only mod on this site and don't have admin privelages. If I did, You would be Permabanned.
Now let's get this thread back on topic fellas before It is forced to be closed.

Sorry. S2000's, Evo's, STi's, WRX's, SRT4's, any of the Mazdaspeed cars, Supra's, 300zx's, etc... were designed to provide maximum performance in a small package, much like the Mustang, Cuda, GTO, Camaro, etc... of days past, and I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to call them "Econoboxes" for their time. An "Econobox" would more fit with anything Geo made, the Honda civics, Kia's, most Hyundai's, etc... I'd love to know how a $35k car can be considered an economy/budget car that is fast. $35k is a pretty serious chunk of change last I checked. But lets see...econo boxes normally (at least in my mind) come factory without Powersteering, Power locks, power windows, AC, CD players, sunroofs, awd, etc...
So please, don't tell me my car is an econobox.

k back on topic...i Hope to be running low 12's with the sti and somewhere in 11's with the bike.
-
As I posted earlier, high 11's is the goal this year....unless I go bigger on the motor.

I should be in the mid 12's.

I'd be happy with breaking into the 12's. Hell, if I actually learn to launch and cut the '60 down maybe deeper. 2.2-2.5 '60 on slicks is just embarassing. :icon_scratch:Earl, you need some new slicks....that alone would help you. Those slicks that you had were used and abused.
