alright guys, i've had this arguement with my brother for a while. it hasn't been resolved since he throws a temper tantrum everytime i try to reason with him. ya see: he bought a 94ish (i forget the lingo) civic dx with a shitload of miles on it for $4 grand. he then dropped an H22A in it with all those other tiny mods (intake, exhaust, vtec controller...). all that shtuff cost him $8 grand ($12 grand total) and it can only hit 14s, and since the engine is so heavy in a civic it can't handle for shit.
i don't get it. i'm not too big into drag racing but i know you can buy an older camaro for dirt cheap and make it a hell of a lot faster than that for $12 grand. and if you're like me i'm more into autocrossing and drifting, and in that case you can buy an older sports car which would destroy a civic in auto-xing (i like to bring up this ad i saw for an fc RX-7 with 200hp and 60,000 miles for $1,500, and thats RWD if you didn't know). so why buy a civic for a sports car? and i won't accept cheaper insurance rates for an answer.
