there is/was a guy on honda-tech selling the set-up mentioned...
the small end of the b16 rods need to be machined to accept the toyota wrist pins though... or maybe it's the pistons that need to be machined... either way you can't just slap them in...
and as far as my civic not beating a mustang gt.... maybe not but I'd put 20 bucks on it. I've taken all sorts of "better handling" cars in my car... and LOTS of them were trying to keep up... sure you can brush that off as them not having the nutz or being more concerned for their well being but my car handles GOOD...
my buddy with a turbo ii (rx-7) comments all the time about how tight my car is... I have the es bushing master kit in it. I can take all sorts of cars in corners... especially since I can floor it in the apex and they can't.
In a road race if I'm in front I'd make it through the corner faster and quicker than a gt... if it was in front I wouldn't be able to keep up going into it or out of it once they're out enough to get on it... but around the corner I'll take it. Good driver and all. Those things pull like .85 lateral g's I'm above that NO question.
