im a guy into euro style who is doing a civic like a ricer and will admit it, and i know my civic aint fast, which is why im not turning it into a racecar cuz i know it will never be fast as a car like a FC3S RX7 or a 240 with a SR20 or something like that. so this thing is all show, and ill swap the motor and give it a little go to make it more fun to drive but im not gonna blow thousands on something that will never be that fast lol

Are you kidding, an EF civic has the potential to be damn fast, for relatively cheap too. theres alot of engine swap possibilites with a honda. A NA civic with a type R swap would walk My car on a leash for about the same total cost.

hey give this kid a break.
he's honest in knowing that he doesnt want to make THIS car fast, and that he doesn't know how to handle a high HP car yet at his driving level. I give him a LOT of credit. There are lots of people who need to take a lesson from this guy. Good luck mod'ing the car, and drive it like a rational human when its done ![]() Cheers ------------------ Life can change with every breathe, and it can end before the next.

The last thing you should wanna do is open the rear quarter to allow stuff in there. Incase you haven't seen it, our cars rust real bad from there. And ontop of it, the interior would be exposed to the elements. If it rained you would get wet floors.

If i remember correctly, Paul (the orange civics owner) had something setup to catch the rain and debris from getting into the car.
