extreme dislike. always some little bugger driving around with a fart cannon and they all sound like they are going to explode all the time. My opinion, please dont waste your money

I like civics, if they are done right and tastefully, but you hardly see any like that. There are way to many hondas around, get something that is not seen so often.. How bout a svt contour?how do you feel  Images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSQWegirQYYRBF9VUhV95JfYFSGFzMBoO8Ly61VFFGqc_TZQSyO7Qor a saab already turbo and plenty of aftermarkethow do you feel  Images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ7JCQx0FiP-EeRmy3GLXoTyQpr9xFTDoBpby9EeVT_VDV4zQ2ZQQjust my.02

I've written quite a few threads on my hate for civics, but it's really not a hate on the car itself, it's the majority of the people who own them and modify them. I've seen some people build some serious power house Civics like Joe Monti, but unfortunately the majority of the them on the road are loaded with crap ebay parts and are not putting down any real numbers and they are claiming they are eating EVO's and STi's ....

Here's a good article I wrote not that long ago and passed along on a few forums...

https://ritunerz.forumotion.com/t330-honda-kids

So if your going to build up a 95 Civic, do it right, take your time, and don't end up with just an intake pipe & muffler from autozone and a rattle can paint job, and when you see a highly modified DSM like mine, don't claim you walked it when I'm with in earshot...

Just remember, no matter what you do, there will always be someone there to bash on you for it, us DSM'r get shit from every body too, but it's mostly because they don't know anything about the Eclipse, and don't know that we can put down some decent numbers with some basic mods until they see our tail lights... lol!

Ive seen some nasty Hondas with 600+ to the wheels. Its all how you build it. Just like everyone says though, take your time, build it right, and youll make some good power.

thats how i feel.... even feel that way about 'Dubs'



but civics can be fun. theyre really light. say turbo it or do some engine swap most people dont do like putting an Acura Legend engine in the civic. that would be sick and one hell of a swap. nothing like drifting a civic!

only one problem with your turbo idea jon. not to be a douche or anything, but you can only run about 7psi max with a stock block. even a total engine build will fold under 10+psi. youd have to sleeve it in order to make the block stronger.



Personally though, this would be my build list:

Tear out the interior.

Roll cage

k20

intake/exhaust/some fuel

meth or nitrous

done deal. got yourself a nasty little v8 killer

dude there is nothing wrong with a civic speacially if it was free you can do alot to them fact of the matter is to me personally you are showing your love for cars regaurdless of what you drive sum people jus need to learn that good luck with the car and the 401 octane guys all seem pretty good in the honda field so im sure they can help out in a big way

There are a few good Mitsubishi 3000GTs usually floating around on CL and the parts are easier to find than for a 300zx... trust me I had one once upon a time...

could be a honda, could be a dsm, frig, it could be a datsun. if you take your time and build it right you can squeeze all the power you want out of a car. it does not matter what kind.and yes, shame on the ricers that hack-job their cars and clamp on fart cans or short rams and claim serious numbers. if they dont put in the wrench time, they have no claim to bragging rights. kudos to those of you on here that spent the time on their wheels to make them what they are.
