Tonight will be the Civic (aka "tuner car")
Im betting on it getting seriously riced out...but Im REALLY hoping that that Im wrong and it will get lots of Mugen or a swap/build and a turbo, NO body kit and a clean set of wheels...

*AzCivic* · 08-09-2005, 09:47 PM

they do a really good job on the old cars on there, hope they do as good a job on the civic.

*pdiggitydogg* · 08-09-2005, 09:53 PM

I lost interest after about 20mins.
Its still on, but I dont care at all. I hate the color and I hate the interior even more; crappy looking body kit. Just ground control coilovers, no addition to sways or handling mentioned.
No Mugen parts, not even top notch pistons...the head (portflow) was good though.

I dont know why I always watch things with "tuner cars". I always get pissy about it in the end. Why do they ALWAYS have to be riced out?
Oh well...Im sure its quality work...

*KwikR6* · 08-09-2005, 10:39 PM

Quality work..and you know..it didn't look all that bad for a show car...but not my cup of tea.....
I dunno..i would just like to see them take a car..and just like make it nice...clean..no kit...but pdiggy...ya know..not all of us have the same taste...ours is just better.

sicones · 08-09-2005, 10:44 PM

they have to put all that aftermarket shit on it or else people would get bored and it would just basically look stock, they have to put the ugly monster ass body on it, and not just the clean looking lip, its not enough

GT40FIED · 08-09-2005, 11:11 PM

That...and you know they're getting paid decent $$$ to throw out product names on TV.

RxGoaT13 · 08-11-2005, 01:30 PM

Foose does good work, But that civic didnt turn out all that great. The body kit and paint killed it.

ebpda9 · 08-11-2005, 02:15 PM

i did not like the final result with the car. maybe they should take my accord and do it.

Mischief · 08-11-2005, 05:10 PM

i overheard my friends talking about it and they said they liked it.. rebuilt engine and a nitrous kit

GT40FIED · 08-11-2005, 07:23 PM

I caught the last half of it when they re-ran it. The body kit was a crime...paint was nice even though it's not my style...and the guy who owned it cried like a little bitch.

*pdiggitydogg* · 08-11-2005, 07:32 PM

They put in Eagle rods and JE pistons (looked like stock bore and compression to me). If they sleeved the block, they didnt mention it... Portflow head goodies was the only thing that pleased me out of the engine build. But then again, they didnt mention anything about tinkering with the ecu to raise the rev to even make use of the springs. But, they didnt even add new cams so I guess that would be silly...
I would think they have a pretty high dollar budget for this stuff and they put in Eagles and JE?? Why not Manely rods and CP? Pauter and Arias? Must have wasted too much time and effort into throwing together the body kit and stupid purple and "carbon fiber" fabric seats.
And n2o? Im sorry, but talk about lazy. ALL these tuner shows end up putting n2o on it.... They build the engine and cant throw on at least a cali legal greddy turbo kit?

The crybaby said "I cant wait to drive it..." Well buddy, I hope you enjoy driving a car thats EXACTLY the same as it was before except when you open the bottle.:o

Man...Id be pissed to get overhauled

GT40FIED · 08-11-2005, 11:12 PM

At least it's not Hi-Rev Tuners.
