Default Might be getting an SVO

I found and svo today. I Asked the guy about it. He said 800$. I was thinking if he wants to let it go that cheap he must not no what they can be worth. I offered he 600$ he said ok!. It needs a new hood. Front bumper has a small dent. Going to need a grille and drivers side door. And a rebuild (Which would of been in the plans anyway). And of course paint when it's all said and done. Should be nice. Historic tags and I'll be set to go by November. I'll upload the pics when I take my friend up to check it out later.

Trust us, the SVO will be something totally different than your intagra.

Unlike it, these engine have a load and a half of torque.

Good luck and pic's

I know. The integra has 500whp potential. So I may upgrade a few things and make it a track car. Keep the Explorer and then fix the SVO up

I don't know guys, don't get me wrong I love my SVO, but my little Sentra is a lot of fun too. If I turned up the boost and tossed on a FMIC it would be wooping up on the SVO without a doubt. The Integra has the added advantage of being able to rev into the stratosphere, even if is is wrong-wheel-drive.

Well it may have the weight advantage too. The ford 2.3 is a pretty heavy engine for what it is, some 4 cylinders have a big advantage due to material. Take gm's ecotec for example... Capable of 1000hp with changing the cylinder sleeves & it's pretty light weight compared to the 2.3 & it goes in a few wrong wheel drive cars.
