    You're not very creative, lingustically speaking. Can't you find any other
    insults besides "dumb geek"? I'm getting bored here.

    geez, it's popular in US too? :))))
    here in croatia it's spreading out like a disease...
    every volkswagen golf built in 1980s has it. nevermind the rusty bodywork,
    or head-/tail-lights that don't work, just put on blue LED washer nozzles,
    and you're ready to go...

    first off, you could try lowering the head (i'm sorry, but i don't know the
    propper english term for that) to boost up the compression rate, and
    polishing the intake... it should bring you some extra 5-10% hp. by the way,
    how much does the stock 'rafaga' have?

    and what kind of a name for a honda is 'rafaga' anyway? :)

    Well, if gay-ness was involved, I think my wife would have figured it out
    by now (I hope).

    To answer a separate post, "Rafaga" is a Spanish word meaning essentially
    the equivalent of the French "éclat". Think burst, pop, bang, excitement.

    The Rafaga appears to be basically an Honda/Acura Accord/Saber/Vigor, with
    the G20A 5-cylinder engine.

    Nice pics here:
    http://www.luk-korbmacher.de/Autos/g20a.htm

    However, I cannot find any torque or horsepower figures for this engine.
    Odd. Guess buyers of a sedate 4-door semi-luxury car don't care about such
    technicalities.

    I figure jimmyd must have been given the vehicle by his parents (how many
    teenagers would buy something like that on purpose?), so his problem now is
    how to turn it into something less of an old-farts's car. In my day you did
    that by removing wheel covers and trim, jacking up the ass-end and putting
    a pot-leaf sticker on your chromed diff cover. Simple and cheap.

    if the engine is dohc, my guess is it could be similar by power and torque
    to an accord f20a, which means roughly 150 hp and 140 Nm torque. if it's
    sohc, it could be similar to f20a4 from '94 prelude (i don't have specs for
    this one, though)...
    could be. still, alot can be done to rice up that car, even if the engine
    specs are unknown (head lowering, intake polish, CAI...)...
    no glow-in-dark washer nozzles back in those days, huh? :)
