Default Thinking about coming back to Honda

Just wanted to give a quick into-

I sold my car this weekend and I'm thinking about coming back to the H badge next month when I move back to America.

My last car is here

I'm new to the boards but I found one of my old cars on here when looking for a friend. The black one was mine.

Yeah I'm looking into gearing options and turbo applications now. From everything I've seen and know about the car TQ is lacking in every situation even with stroker kits.
My biggest concern after doing some research is how weak the diff is in these cars.

The reliability/build-quality, sexiness, and balance make up for torque (or lack thereof). That and just learn to keep it in the powerband

Ummm I don't think so...
There's nothing sexy about flooring the gas at low rpms and having the car fall flat on it's face.
Don't get me wrong I've always loved the look of the car but stock power is kind of a joke.

I know that...
I'm new to the boards not to cars. Check the links in my first post to see my last two rides.
I'm looking into building an S2 for drifting not drag racing.
