b21 is bad 18 degree b series with no support, they have nice seats, thats about it. For a base model youd have a single cam with nice seats.

dude the car is garbage.
there was nothing special about that car in its entire history for that generation except for the 4ws and even that sucked so bad that in the 92 model's they had to reduce it so it would turn so much and they were known to screw up too.
