I would def go with an engine swap. Maybe a B16a or a B18C. Both are good decision.

Yea. I should have known the answer to my own question. I hauled my cousin on the back of my cbr 600(bike) a long time ago. He loved hauling tail so it was o.k. with him on back. It seemed almost twice as slow with the extra 180lbs. I guess a little car with a small HP motor is basically the same. Also, you hear about weight reduction products which help with speed. I guess if you were a whale tail(fat ass), you could'nt drive a crx fast. h: Another reason you see midgets on the horses at horse races.

Haha, same here bro... Im 5'8 and about 250-260ish and I drive my car... My brother, I bought it from was 6'1 and about 300 something, and he drove it just fine... He actually said its the roomiest car hes ever owned (I know has nothing to do with power to weight ratio, but applies to us 'larger fellows' in small ass cars, haha), he has a 99 Accord now...

I guess if you have to have that much bass then you'll just have to get used to being slower than the majority of the new cars out there.
I personally think a little bass (one 10" sub) for the inside of the car is enough but I'm 28 so that probably says enough.

Yea. I've still got the stereo in it. I've thought about it, and i've got to much time and money in it to take it out. I'm just going to keep it, unless somebody offers me a decent price for it. A co-worker said he was going to buy my stereo, and i told him to make me an offer. The next day he came back with the offer. He basically wanted me to give it to him. The car would'nt be a rocket anyway, even if i did take it out.
