well.... its time...

my DD (daily driver) is now DD (Definatly Dead) and i'm going to sell it off to a junk yard in the next few days.... anyway, i NEED another car, their is NO WAY IN HELL i'm going to park my DSM in the parking lot at UT (university of Texas) so... i'm looking for something cheap, good on gas, and fun, so BOOM! civic... i'm thinking somewhere between 97-00 but i know NOTHING about them! all i know is i'm not paying $8k for ANYTHING with over 75k miles on it because it says "SI" on it! f that! but i also want a civic that has the power windows, locks, and sunroof... not to mention.... the ability to be boosted with the T25 :biggrin: so i guess what i'm asking is i know some of you guys have a little knowlege about hondas, and i was looking for a little input because all these D16, B16C6, blah,blah,blah is killing me! i swear in the last week, i have seen more civics with engins that are out of different cars then i have seen civics with the OEM engine.... whatever B, or D, or F, or C that block is... and i'm getting lost....think just a normal civic EX will do it? can anyone get me some Honduh advice? :screwy:

what happend to your eclipse?

yes a dciv ex has power windows locks and sunroof and its v-tec! just not a 2.0 like the iirc its a 1.6

umm... my eclispe is perfect! so... nothing happened to it... my daily driver died...

oh i thought your eclipse died :-D sorry lmao but yea the EX should be what your looking for

oh i thought your eclipse died :-D sorry lmao but yea the EX should be what your looking for
i noticed that some of them have the intake going down into the intake manifold, and some have them just like the 4G63... whats the difference? both motors look the same... also, will a SOHC be a smart decision? (only owned DOHC DSM's since 16 years old...)

EDIT: what the hell, i'm going to hate myself for this, but what are all the "Powerfull" motors honduh makes that can be swapped into the 97-00 civic? and whats the difference between them? just... for information... i dont wanna go asking the honduhs because all the buzzing makes my head hurt...

Dont boost your Civic, theres no sense making your 17 sec DD into a 14 sec DD when you have a perfectly good DSM to work on. That said, get whatever Civic you can with whatever bells and whistles you want and drive that slow POS and be happy about it.

i think i'mma take my DSM and put his 260hp to the test... he can drive his civic of course!

completely agreed with thor. Why bother souping your DD when you got a souped non dd?

Ok... the blue book value on a 2000 Civic EX with 96k is around $6400. Why would someone with that built of a car be selling it for half of what the blue book value is? The supercharger alone damn near cost that much. Not to mention 10:1 pistons on 9 lbs of boost? Even if that were true, unless hes running some really good gas on a daily basis, that motor is half eaten at best, that is no pump gas operation particularly since there is no h20/meth injector or intercooling. Not to mention who has that built of a motor and has over half of his modlist gay ass things like oil fill caps and dipstick HAS to be a tool. I'd go look at it, but its the same as in the other thread, its way too good to be true.... I cant even imagine the problems you would undoubtedly have with that car.

Just get the civic and leave it stock. When a lil ricer asks you to race and you have the eclipse close by, say "wait for me 10 minutes," arrive with the GST and just spank 'em.

lol went and saw it today, guy said it was having trouble starting! he started cranking, and this GOD AWFUL sound came from the engine, and he said "their is some trick to getting it to start, i dont know its my brothers car, he just died..." as horible as that is, the car was about JUNK! the body kit was DISCUSTING! not even worth spelling words right in this post about it! thats how bad it was! AWFUL black and orange color! about 1/2" off the ground, and all scraped/scared/banged/chipped up! didnt even get to HEAR it and i got a headake... i'm going for stock... all the way!

Ha ha ha...

Your best bet is a completely unmodded Honda/Acura, or a Toyota. I would personally go with a Civic, hands down. My 2000 DX auto has bailed me out every single time when my DSM or 3000GT have been in the shop. It has 170K on the stock motor and tranny, and is runnung like a dream. I won't be winning any drag races in it any time soon, but nothing beats peace of mind.

Did the civic have all the mods he claimed it did?

well all the shinny shit was their, and it had the supercharger and DOHC some B or D or something engine... :popcorn:

Well....I'm not going to get into all the different engines and combinations....

But yeah civics are good. The cheaper ones are the DX's (no power anything, no sunroof(except for my my DX...its the only one I've ever seen with a sunroof))
The EX's have all the power crap, and my 95 EX had VTEC!!!...where my 95 DX doesnt.

I'll sell you mine....

My daily driver "Dodge Dokata 4 cyl... yes.. a 4 cyl, is shitting the bed also... still got 3 more long months or winter..

I'll sell you mine....
you deliver to austin Texas? ...the semester starts tomorrow... and i have to drive the DSM for the first few days... BUT i did find a pertty nice 01' integra...

Yeah dude just get a stock Civic EX... what's the point in trying to make the DD faster when you have the GST at home? It'd be like having to track cars as DD's lol (well, except one of the track cars would still be slow lmao)
