RE: Raced a Riced Civic
Since this is alive again, the car was a RICER, not a well-done import. most imports are rice, but a few are done right. my friend rob is on here occasionally as boosted muscle, he has a 94 3000gt, twin turbo, runs 12s on street tires, handles amazingly, his is well done, its not rice, its a nice import. the diff is he puts money into performance on a performance platform, he does not pay for fluff on a economy platform, thats the diff here

no i realize that, but guys who build civics for performance are morons, go on a platform worth using, like i said, a 3000, a second gen eclipse, a 350z, not a civic or corolla or car like that

touche friend but as compared to many imports, these cars were a better platform to work off of, many young import folks are doing the lower end corollas and civics, and these you speak of are not as common, at least not around here. Import guys are kinda rare around here, most drive mustangs, third gen camaros or lifted trucks. thats why I say the things about the import guys around here. where you are they may build damn good cars, around here its the Fast and the Furious crowd, thinks if its a four banger and stick, it must be fast. there is a boy who put coil overs, cold air and stripped the interior, cut out his ac, and thought the car was fast. had not much done. spent money on coil overs that coulda gone to the motor. thats the kind of import guys i run into around here. Maybe, like I said, diff where you are, I would hope it is. The point i was making is that most imports, other than an already performance oriented one, are slow. Not all are however. A lot of young guys watched too much Fast and the Furious, and it shows in what they do to the cars. As for the Eclipse thats my bad, I was thinkin second gen camaro, such as mine, you are right about that, though the second gen was better than the third gen.

for clarities sake it should be noted that "exhaust tips" dont equal speed. could also be summed up saying "NA 4cyl" doesnt equal speed, or maybe "honda" doesnt equal speed [8D]

Ricers can put waste their money on whatever they want.coilovers, wings, carbon fiber, carbon copies.... carbon footprints, I dont give a $hit Its when they drive like a$$holes, and talk **** to everyone that is pisses me off. They make people like myself, evos, CORRECTLY tuned hondas etc. look bad. And chicks actually dig this look?

What about the K20 RSX type S (217 HP). And the H22 prelude (200 HP) or the B18C5 out of the integra type R(195 HP) All are ok cars and are fun to drive the Integra and the type S more than the Prelude. Now spend a 8 grand in bolt ons and the swap into a EG6 or CRX now your sitting a fun little NA 4 banger that would be a good match for a older GT. Yes 9 out of 10 times its some kid with a stock D series engine or maybe a B16 or LS swap but there are a few that have been done right and from me they get respect.
