My Friend and his Pussy Honda...

RADMANX · #1 05-31-2004, 10:57 PM

My friend has a 1999 Honda Civic. He drove my car the other day (1997 Eclipse GS). He pulled around the corner of the court, he got out of the car, sighed a deep breath, and a tear rolled down the side of his face. Right then and there he told me straight up my car was cooler than his.

. He now deeply regrets spending $7000 on his civic, when i got my eclipse for $5600 with less miles. I LOVE MY ECLIPSE! HAHAHA! HONDa SuCkS!

Interesting story!

Yes, Eclipse's are nice... but you can't stereotype that Hondas suck. They are very good cars: they're very reliable, known to get many mileage on the motors, and handle very nicely. It's just preference, because Honda Civics are more expensive, but IMO are worth their money. They are not known to blow head gaskets like Eclipses are notorious for and are expected to go 500k miles and still run. So, you can't say Honda's suck... they're nice cars (not fast, but nice hehe)

you stated it perfectly, HONDUH'S are not FAST. but at the same time you also stated perfectly what hondas were meant for, and that is being an economy car. they are good for what they were built to do, but IMO are worthless to try and make go fast, it is to much work and money for to little gain.

but it is badass that a little Honduh boi realized that civics are all that and a fat chick.

EDIT>>> i forgot to mention, that NON-Turbo eclipse are pretty slow to, not knocking anyones car, but it is the truth. we have already established that it doesnt take much to be faster than a honda. hell i have a GSX and i think it is pretty slow, oh but once i am out of college how i will waste my hard earned paychecks on my car instead of food. lol.

THEY ARE MORE EXPENSIVE?? WTF dude I can pick up a 98 civic ex with 60,000 miles for 2,600. I dunno if it is just where I live but they are a dime a dozen

Yah, I don't see racing with my Civic, ever... I just plan to make it look nice, have it run a long time, and get me from point A to point B. If I wanted to make it fast, I would invest in a $4,350 b18c It-RDOHC engine, but could've bought a $10,000 car with that amount of hp already in it. So, basically, if you want to upgrade your Civic with a faster engine, it's whatever you like...

Yes, Civics are sale-retailed a little bit higher, I think... not sure though.

It's wonderful to see civic and eclipse people in the same thread without bickering like children.

My god the word is going to end. Finaly a honduh owner not trying to make his civic "fast".

gstclips · #9 06-01-2004, 11:58 AM

yea dude ur pretty cool, Im so sick of my buddy telling me that his dx civic can beat my turbo eclipse...he always blames it on bad shifting. I just cock off and use the fast and furious line lol "it doesnt matter if you win by and inch or a mile, winnings winning" god that movie it funny

96CivicEX06 · #10 06-01-2004, 12:01 PM

Haha, good old Riced & The Ridiculous

Civics can be fast though, but you have to swap the motor, and do some serious upgrades on....... well everything. K20 or B18c swap with boost will give dsm's a good run.

96CivicEX06 · #12 06-01-2004, 05:24 PM

Yah, the B18C would be the only option if you like using the car as a daily driver as well as a more racing style. The K20 is just for straight line hp and torque, cornering on it isn't too great. But yes, Civics can be quite peppy with a 230 hp engine and more torque, but that's a $4,350 engine when you could've just bought a $10-12k car. I love my Civic don't get me wrong, if I wanted to race with it, I would invest in that engine, but I just don't have the want, time, pocket, or patience to do it.

Hey nice job being nice to eachother guys. 96CivicEx06 you sound pretty cool. A lot diff from most non-DSMers..."You're car will blow up, my GSR smokes every turbo i see...etc"

guitarXgeek · #14 06-01-2004, 06:03 PM

I wouldn't say that ALL Honduhs are slow. I know a few guys around here that drive Prelude's that are very quick.

96CivicEX06 · #15 06-01-2004, 06:22 PM

Well, nobody ever said that, we were saying that swapping the engine in a Civic and adding things to make it faster, would be too costly -- both money wise and time wise. Civics can be fast, don't get anyone wrong, it's just that you need to dump a lot of money in the car to do it, and you could've gotten a faster car with the money and time you already put into it.
