no that's not true. i have friends who've had modded, engine swapped civics long before F&F, that's a played out reference that has no real merit, i wish people would stop saying that. there are a lot of cars that weren't in F&F that have large aftermarkets; Mr2's, celica's, 300z's, maxima's(which did make a brief appearance in F&F),sentra's, etc.
F&F was art imitating life.

you won't typically see a very fast civic that's not powered by a dohc vtec engine, usually making around 160-176 hp, and as much as 195-200hp in certain instances. so they're not starting with 115 hp like 93rolla is. then intake, exhaust, ecu, header etc you're gonna end up witha car with a very impressive power:weight ratio. i've never seen a 1.5L non-vtec honda civic dx that made me say "wow that's a quick little car". but my friends got a dx civic with a gsr engine, lightly modded, that puts down 14.5's and better. it's not a rocket, but that's impressive for a car that started it's life as an economy vehicle. i would recommend searching for a better engine to use.

"i guess before it did have a good deal of parts.

I said it did have a good deal of parts before F&F, but F&F probably helped a good deal also.
