Soo.. Does this make me a complete dork?

Ahh ignorance hurts so many.

I know what I have under the hood. No need to brag.

Josh... love the ride man.Love it.

Is that a Honda Civic?

That's about the average size of cars over here.

 

[jon2]

Yes sir. Honda Civia Si.

I am not sure if you have the Civic Type R in your side of the pond . That is how it has been in the past. We suck in the US. All our cars go through a smog referee to comply to all the smog emissions. Thus robbing us of much desired power!!!

Yes sir. Honda Civia Si.

A Civia huh? Never seen one of those

..... The haters of the car probably drive a gas guzzler......

Damn right I hate small cars, after all, if I slammed into a small car with the grill of my PeterBuilt, I sure as hell don't wanna be picking pieces of Honda poop outta my grill!!!!!!

 

[jon2]

If you slammed into a any car with your grill, it would be your fault reagdless if it was a Honda or Mercedes. I personally like my car for economic purposes and the power you can squeeze out of a 4. Most 6 can't even reach the speeds of the 4 cylinders I see.

But this is not my thread. This is Lessen's thread.

does it only turn left now?

and no thanks to the little cars for me, i like being able to go somwhere in the winter without getting stuck on a snowbank........ in the driveway.

yeah, no poop! My car is bone stock and is probably 40hp less than the Euro version plus we don't even have the option of getting the LSD! BOO! but yeah, it could definately use about 20hp. I think it would be perfect and not overdone if I could get it to around 200. Hell, that's what the RSX gets and it's damn near the same engine I think, probably a different intake and other things.

I'm with Jon on the "ricer" poop as well. Not into that. Kids drive around with cars that look 50 times faster than they actually go. Stupid. My car has the Honda Factory performance kit which does include ground effects but they actually look nice IMO. Not overdone at all. Car handles nice for what it get's to do. just needs more ponies. I've been dropping X-mas hints to my wife the last couple years about a short throw shifter and an engine damper but for some reason it's not working.

Bottom line. This is the most fun car that I can afford. I actually prefer small sport cars. I wouldn't even keep a corvette if one was given to me. I'd sooner trade it for an Exige. But I don't need to justify my automotive opinions here. I love my car.

LOVE THE Si...hate the NASCAR sticker though.....I'm with Jon and Lessen...I like tuner cars...not the "I shop at pep boys" type of crap but real factory level tuning....honda makes the best sport car for the urban mechanic....easy to work on and you can hop em up like our RC stuff....almost as easy too.....I sold my escort cause it was too expensive to go through tires every other week ON A REAL CAR.....I was jonseing for a mechanic's fix and that's when I found nitro RC stuff...now I actually save money again...LOL...funny since this hobby is almost as expensive in some cases.....
