my 12 year old civic

what it will look like again minus the spoiler.

<3 We will get it there ^______^

But THIS time, we're gonna focus on your engine performance and handling rather than cosmetic bs

Leave it to me. I gots da hook up sonnnnnn tee hee <33

true that. performance > cosmetics

ps. the best desicion yet would probably be to leave of the spoiler. lol.

Screw that, haha. My next car is going to look low and sexy before it gets any faster.

Cha. I'd rather driver around a car that looked busted that kicked everyone's ass, than something that LOOKED fast and didn't really...go anywhere.... like my Z4 for instance. It LOOKS fast...but doesn't really go anywhere.


That's probably because it's a 2.4L naturally aspirated FAT-ASS. That thing weighs close to 3500lbs (last I checked, I believe it was 3426lbs) Then again, if you wanna get into specifics, the Z4 isn't really made to have uber acceleration at low RPMs. I can tell you that that car's got some crazy top end. But what it lacks in acceleration it certainly makes up for with outstanding handling performance. It's just a shame that we don't have autobahns around here ;_______;

haha true that, but then again, my govener stops at 110. haha, i was ridin my govener back from pcb tryin to keep up w/ everyone. haha.

well the spoiler went bye-bye years ago.....but the paint job was factory. medori green pearl.....so yeah i want it to look good. i used to wash that bitch every day. now, well it got it's first suddsy bath like 2 weeks ago. first wash in almost 3years. but i definitely want to get it painted. i'm kinda happy with performance but i think i want the paint job more.

youd be happier with the performance if you werent running vtec from idle...

D-series?

whats wrong with d series? I love those little motors theres one here in town makin over 300 hp

BULLSHIT!!!

i had to rebuild the motor so the driveability is fixed, tax time is here so the car will make it's way to a body shop for some minor cosmetic fixes and a brand new paint job. same color as before but it'll be beautiful again. might paint the white rims silver as well. not sure yet, but definitely getting painted.

I've already explained this but I'll do it again so people in this slow thread can see...

The original plan was to get a bone stock S14 so obviously, it would be more expensive, and the first mod was going to be suspension. Now that things have changed and I picked up an ugly S13 with an SR20 in it, priorities have changed as well. Bittttch

u mean 240...

dave, its lil bro. when you come up here to ohio, my buddy seth has a full body shop with a paint booth, and his dad's cool and wouldnt charge you much to paint it. he'd probly let you do it yourself too, if you feel confident enough.

i have faith in myself that i could make it look good.....i did a pretty good job with a rattle can.....i'm sure i could do better since it would be me doing it and i will be much more critical of my work... see ya in 2 weeks
