Never Thought It Would Happen

[logik23]

So I was reading the last Modified Mag and saw this article about an EG6....I hate to say this, but I actually loved it so much I thought of getting one myself instead of a 240, I mean cheap, quick (after a few mods) and cool looking. And this one has 260whp, N/A!!!








But then I turned the page and came back to my senses...





Mid-engine Weld S14...yes...mid-engine!!! Well not mid-rear, but mid-front, they pushed it back a foot and a half in the engine bay to get a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, it's got a V-Mount, and the exhaust goes out the side of the car (right under the little side window near the rear wheel well).

Dont ever scare me like that again logik youre too good to be driving a Civic...there are people out there who deserve 240s and then there are people who...just happened to get them and turns out they were meant for one. but then there are your Honda Owners who just flat out dont realize the workd around them and how crappy of a car it is. Not saying there arent good hondas not saying that only NSX and RSX and S2000 are the only good hondas Im saying that most people when you hear "I own a 95 Civic w/..." the only person who responds to that positively is another Civic owner. You my friend deserve a 240

So biased...

I like civics and I'm probably gonna be helping a friend fix his integra up a little. Should be a learning expirience for me.

Logik you would be kicking yourself in the ass when you are driving around in a FWD dreaming about RWD.hahaha Good luck with getting a car.

[monooxide]

Im not trying to be biased its jsut Civics owners reputations have dropped so much.... I have a good friend who i consider cool who drives a Turbo B16A but hes also 30 something...I mean its kind of like the Crazy ass mexican down the street who doesnt speak english but has 3 cars that look broken down...that run...

[logik23]

lol, yeah, RWD kicks FWD ass, but I want to get a Civic one day, not instead of a 240, but as a project car, make it uber JDM tyte with Mugen and Spoon shit and swap in a B18 that revs to like 6 bajillion RPM.....but no bodykit!!!!! Anyways, the point is, I want a Civic, but I want a 240 like 10 million times more! lol

i didnt know an rsx was a honda, i always thought it was a acura
but yea dont even think about not getting a 240. one day i did and almost bought a 5.0 mustang 80's style, because my dad knows how to work on them, like most people, and said however much money i put in he would put in 1/4 of that, i was like hell yea, but then i was like no my last one was too much fun, fuck the 5-0, haha.

[zacremacle]

it is pretty much the same thing as a honda but nicer. In japan they dont even have acura so it would be a honda rsx or nsx instead of acura rsx or nsx.

[logik23]

Actually in Japan it's Honda Integra, not Honda RSX. They will carry Acura over to Japan soon though, they want a way to get richer buyers interested into their cars, same scam they pulled here.

[Chuki_breath]

just like nissan..infiniti
toyota...lexus
honda.....acura


does toyota or mazda make scion...i forget once i get to thinking, plus i just got back from math class i have to many x's y's and square roots going through my head.

[D-Bo]

scion took over production of the celica in a way.. there won't be anymore toyota celicas, they'll be the scion tc and ugly as shit.

[logik23]

Yeah, Scion is Toyota, MR2s are also history, but I think the tC looks cool, I mean compared to other Scions. What's weird is they could make the Celica a big ass winner, all they have to do is make it RWD, they can keep the same engine, same body, same tranny (ratios and whatnot), all they have to do is make it RWD and cut the price in half, the car would outsell RSXs, WRXs, Evos, everything!! It would be the new "in" car in drifting, damn, I should run their upper management shit!!

[nissanfanatic]

I hate Scions.

I do want to get a civic one of these days. Believe it or not, they're actually pretty peppy for daily driving. Not fast, but in city driving they will move. Slow as shit past like 50mph, but I'm used to that from before. It'll just be a quick daily driver. Maybe a B18C1 with IHE and an ECU. I may consider turbo after I get my KA-T up there.

lexus,part of Toyota, is called Soarer in japan as well.

Honda is very popular in the states but is horribly infamous in japan. Nobody buys them unless they are looking for small bikes or just the good ol' nsx/s2k.

You would hardly see hondas in Japan... toyota dominates the land of the rising sun... for now. Hopefully, nissan will be able to get back up to it's feet now that Carlos is doing some major budget cuts.

Logik... i think the EG body looks tyte as hell too. I just wished they didn't make the civic si hatch so fugly lookin this time around.

[johnnyboy5]

the civic is an ok economy car with ok power. So many things you can do to the engine. But if your talking FWD id rather get a Prelude. (If i was to get another car)

And about the celica being a rwd....doesnt the usdm lotus elise have the celica gts engine? Toyota did help out lotus bring the elise to the USDM, i think it has 180 hp and does 0-60 in about 4.5 sec!!! And even better, the handling on that thing rocks!!! (SO IVE READ) It can probably give a viper some competition. ID TOTALLY GET THAT CAR! Too bad its $40k.
Correct me if im wrong, and again its the USDM Lotus Elise

[Chuki_breath]

i thought saorer was just one single model of car. The lexus sc400...i thought was a toyota soarer in japan.
Plz clear that up for me.
And yea toyota does dominate over there, isnt because they mostly have cheap little econo cars though? I mean nissan does too, but they also have alot of more "sporty" cars than toyota dont they. I mean there's a million different versions of every nissan. I would like to have a nissan stagea lol that is the ultimate wagon family car/ grocery getter. An rb26 in a wag...thats bad ass. Super sleeper stylez.


o yea and if that s14 was a female id definantly buy her a drink. Yea if i was ever to get a civic (god forbid) it would have to be an eg. THey are the cooler civic. THose top fuel ones in super street a long while ago were super sweet. I was like damn...thats the first civic i actually envied. I thought i committed a sin, but it was damn sexy.
