Dude, I didn't mean to come off as I hate civics. They're nice cars. I actually love the 98-2000 civics. They look really classy. I'm still considering on buying one as a next econocar. Personally, I just don't think they are worth spending a lot of money on. Of course if I'd buy one, I'd mod it, but I wouldn't try to make it what it's not made to be. Again this is my opinion.
And on the biker aspect, he doesn't go looking for it. He gets it from another message board that we both visit and just posts here. So dont' go off flaming him either. Because what's interesting is you don't like it but the majority of his repliers seem to thank him. So for now, majority wins I guess... |

lol, first questions first: hondamaniac. that was taken when i signed up for a board for the first time. and lol about the movie question: the lost and the curious |
back to the original question... ya i like civics... id make one fast too if i had one
|
The Lost and the Curious :banana:
LOL I think we all knew that though. |
Come on people, I seriously doubt some of you even READ my first post. I said I like Hondas and they are cool cars, but if the SOLE INTENT of a honda is to make it fast there are better cars to build up which will give a better return on the money. I like civics, I like driving my friends, but if all I wanted was a autox beast I would not choose a civic. Hondas are cool cars to mod and are fun. And I have been going out with one girl for 19 months now, have no addiction to porn or whatever you want to say... I know you corrected yourself but I want to set the record straight too. Anyways I will check back in here later when I have more time, Im late for a haircut right now.

oc.....i don't give a dam bout your friend eric.....
and highlanders' totally correct.....if your walking around a carlot thinking i wanna go real fast......let me get that civic over there....you got a problem from the start and thats all that highlander was tryin to get across.....if your buying a civic....to be the fastest....in your city or block you messed up....and if you still are the fastest....well, get off that block |
Quote:
People buy what they want, because thats what they want. Im still trying to figure out what the point of this thread is. If someone has the money to build a 10 second civic, and they succeed at building a 10 second civic. Why are they wrong in doing so? Because you think they wasted money. Thats your opinion. Dare to dream! Tell the guy with the 13 second festiva that that he wasted his money. Im sure he wont feel the same way. Why do you even worry about what other people are spending their money on? |
Quote:
what do you drive.. the point is i can say that about almost ANY car.. i mean ESPECIALY in drag racing.. when you talk about autox the field opens up a little....... but all i was saying is this.. "honda Style" no one MAKES you come here.. no one MAKES him come here.. if you dont like it leave.. its that simple...im my mind if you want to go fast in a straight line there is ONE car MAYBE two to get.. if you want fastest for cheap.. and as far as if you are the fastest blah blah.. that implys that ALL hondas are slow.. well MOST ARE.. but not all..but 12's are not slow.. ESPECIALY for a street car... there are not a whole lot of cars that bost 12s for that much cheaper (import at least) |
ok i dont see the point of this whole thing....i think it's to see howmany people get fired up and take things the wrong way....i'm not gonna cry about my car being slow.(like some people)......and the fact i coulda bought a twin turbo 300zx for $9k and droped the same into it i plan on dropping into my car.......i just couldnt get a loan for a car that old and dont wanna pay insurance for a twin turbo

Actually, i do have quite the clue. My neighbor has an 89 cobra (we talk car tech a lot). His car is modded to the teath and he just swapped out his entire motor for one he rebuilt (pistons, rods, cam, p&p, heads, rockers, ect.) His car runs low 12's/high 11's - and he is ALWAYS out in his yard fixing something stupid like snaped belts, headlights burning out, replacing ignitions, stuff like that. He admits to me that his car is fast, fun, trendy (much like my civic) and a P.O.S. -You should think twice about calling people idiots and then rambling on for several pages about absolutely nothing. |
Quote:
So your are saying that he had not intent on making his "van" faster than it was? Why dump money into the mods he did? Gift or not he put money into it for the SOLE purpose to make it faster than what it is. Otherwise he would not have put the intake and all the other stuff he put on there. |
you peaople don't have a limit do u ?

[sarcasm]he should get a civic since they never burn out headlights[/sarcasm] :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: if his car is "modded to the teeh" and only goes 12's then hes an idiot... |
you really know how to make enemies dont you?
callin everyone a moron and all...... and why do you click on the 18+ threads if you hate porn so much? no one needs to hear you trash everyone......... |

[sarcasm]oh wow you cought me there... [/sarcasm] |
whatever guy...
[sarcasm] you're funny [/sarcasm] |
oc civic, if you want to talk about maturity your the wrong person the be the standard. First off you need to realize this is the internet, and that when it says 18+ most likely you aren't going to be seeing pictures of cars. Considering that I think very poorly of you right now that’s fine that you hate me, to bad you already hate someone you haven't meet and lives 1000's of miles away from you. You know they have doctors and pills for issues like that? Might I recommend you go see one, because God only knows you need it. Such rage issues over a civic.
It all sounds to me like you have a small cock complex. Driving around in a civic that you've wasted money trying to make as fast as a decent car. Hell man if that’s what you want to do with your time that’s fine by the rest of us. But just because your friend dropped a h22 into a civic hatch doesn't mean its a cool car. It means he has more money/time on his hands then brains. Civics are eco boxes, stop pretending like they are anything but. Yes your friend might run some nice times in that car, but it still looks like a POS civic. I know not everyone was blessed with taste and so I let it slide with you and your friend. Civic's are chicks cars, if you choose to mod one, let there be no mistaking your choice of car. Now on to your problem with porno.. There are only two types of guys who say they don’t like porno. 1-F A G's 2-liars I'm gonna go out and guess you dont really have a girlfriend but a boyfriend. This would put you into group number 1, so your right you wouldnt like looking at chicks. My bad for not posting the type of ga y shit you'd be looking at. I on the other hand have no trouble looking at naked chick. As for what chick I'm dating, well thats none of your business. Seems to me you dont like wren and I and yet we drive two of the more pricey cars on this board. I wonder who really has this issues here? Grow up, know your role and shut your mouth. notice there was no foul language used in my post |

I admit the Highlaner is basically a camry wagon on steroids, but hey it was fun. I did not buy it to make it fast, I bought it to haul friends and duck hunt, and yes with the mud tires it is a beast offroad. Anyways I didn't want mud tires on it year-round so I bought some summer tires and summer rims and the intake/exhaust wasn't really that expensive. I didn't try to make it the fastest ever, just tried to make it not quite as slow as I knew I would be selling it soon and don't like driving slowazz cars. As for some people on here, I must ask the question. WHY does everything turn into a personal soap opera? This is HSTuners, a car message board dealing primarily with hondas. Soooo, lets talk about cars instead of who is a good person and why someone hates someone else, that is so lame, and I beg those parties to stop with the childishness. Plenty of times people here get on my nerves, but resorting to all-out flaming is just stupid. Please everyone go back to page one and simply read, one word at a time, what I wrote and maybe you will actually understand the message instead of reading two lines and forming conclusions. Thank you and have a nice day. |

You are a pretty big ricer huh (since you think its SO easy to run 11's - just hit the NNNAAAAWWWSSS huh?) When i said modded to the teath, i should also have mentioned that the car has street radials and a full sound system. And by the way, his setup is all NA so far and his car would destroy most cars on the street - especially your friends h22 civic (with 2 times as much $$ into the motor as this stang.) |

unsure as to why it got to why I came here and everything all i said is i don't like your buddy eric....right now i'm driving my dad's car a 91 Talon TSI, I have no money to buy a car and my '00 civic EX was totalled out....i love coming to HS...for these talks and this and that and i've met great people and enjoy the social aspect of it....i never implied all honda's are slow and if you took it the wrong way...i'm frankly sorry...but actually...most honda's are slow...i bought my civic cause i knew it'd be reliable and i wanted to see what i could do w/ it...never thought about fast until i started reading everything i have....then i realized my civic has 112 HP...and for 4 K i could get 170 HP....then it was totalled out and it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me and my wallet....can't wait for the next ignorant flame i recieve |

1. Just because I don't have a Honda doesn't mean I can't talk about cars? Riight:rolleyes: 2. See #1 3. Modding any car is cool as long as it is done in taste, but spending 10k on a civic with the SOLE INTENT of making it fast is a waste of time 4. Hondas are cool, as I have said I like my friends civic, and I can appreciate a well-modded fast civic any day even if it did take 40k to get it there 5. We have cleared this up, I have a girlfriend, no obsession with porn. 6. I see myself as an asset to the site trying to teach people that Hondas arent the best cars to mod for speed... So, still have any good reasons why I should leave? |

This whole post got overblown because highlander didn't mention that it's basically a message to OPAKRACING... he is talking about spending thousands and thousands of dollars on his civic in hopes of something that he probobly won't get.... That's not to say you can't be more than happy modding racing auto-xing a civic till the day you die... it's just saying that if your goal is to build a track car or a auto-x car a honda just isn't the most intelligent choice... there are a bivvy of other cars out there more suited to handleing the road and handleing the extra power you intend on giving it.
I like my civic it's alright with a 50 shot or a turbo I'm sure it'd be quick with 3-10 k I'm sure I could get lots of respect at a track... but if your looking to win at the track in something other than bracket racing.... honda's not the way to go (unless your more concerned with sponsorship money than you are having the best platform for the job.). and oc... if you don't realize that your buddy could have bought a 240 or a sentra ser and turboed the sr20de motor and had a WAY faster car with MUCH better traction and handling AND it would've been cheaper... you nutz. And as for porn... whatever man. grow up.. if you don't like looking at naked girls.... I mean sh*t I don't even have to finish that sentence. EVERYBODY LIGHTEN UP. Shit I thought I was the A$$hole around here. |

waitin patiently ha.......... highlander.....don't worry bout this petty shit.....all and all everything you've said is true....all it's coming down to is how much money you have at the time of purchase.....if you have $30K and opt to buy a civic instead of somethin else....your issues are arising.....why buy a civic and not somethin else that is exactly at the same stage + the mods as the civic.....the point is to go fast isn't it? OPAK if you want a 600HP car.....and can't tear yourself away from a subwoofer box you got issues.....they're runnin civics at nearly 10's......and all they got is there seat and the other racing material......so why don't you start tearing apart your interior and if your not sick of doing that.....then buy your swap and everything else your ready to do....but never really thought in depth about |
Im still waiting for someone to reply to my questions with an intelligent answer...:rolleyes:

Dude, listen. Im not telling people what to spend their money on, I simply don't care, I am just trying to help them make an educated decision if they choose they want be the "fastest" (I know there is always someone faster). I said many times I think civics are cool and I would like to have one, but for the same amount of money their are better alternatives... They aren't wrong to spend their money. However they spend their money is fine with me, but I tend to like to give people a heads-up when I might know something they either dont or have overlooked. And, as I said in my original post, these are JUST MY THOUGHTS. Jeez people, agree to disagree, its OK... |
Quote:
I'd have to say i agree with you on every thing you just listed. There are so many kids who get a civic and/or want a civic because everybody else has one. I saw a kid i know yesterday who said he wanted to get a civic cause they are "hot". Said he liked what i had done with mine and wanted to follow suit. The bottom line is that modified civics are everywhere, and that is why people are decieved into thinking they are untapped performance powerhouses. |
Quote:
Its good to have people here who are not honda owners/not honda lovers. This causes people like me to question if we are going to spend our money properly - why would people not want to do what will be most benificial for themselves (if nobody questions what you do, how do you know you are doing things the best way??) -there is nothing wrong with you being here, it helps us true enthusiasts who are truly doing what we know we want. |
