    My new car a civic?

    http://www.cardomain.com/id/riceboi

    Yes I got an Si Hatchback. But I still have the 3gee never fear. But this car isnt just a normal Civic. I am taking it to the track when it opens March 20. Until then I can only guess and wonder how fast it is.
    Now a Civic Hatchback but was an 87 LX Accord

    Nice old school just like the 3G.
    I guess you plan on using a bigger turbo and more boost with that huge ass exhaust pipe.

    Nice car, but whoever told you that motor was built by spoon is full of shit. You'd be spending thousands of dollars on that car if it was. Besides, its doesnt have anything in the engine bay that would signify that spoon even touched the thing. Maybe it has spoon cams or something, but i HIGHLY doubt it.

    and PLEASE, for the love of GOD, TAKE OFF THOSE ALTEZZAS.

    hey now wait a minute. I bought the engine from SPOON in Japan and I am assuming since they had it for like 5 years they would have done something to it which it does on the receipt(trying to find). Second I plan on smoking those Altezza's. PLUS I didnt put on the exhaust the guy before me did. Everything done to it so far is how I bought it. I am going to do some major overhaul stuff eventually. Right now it is getting the job done which is tearing all the other riced out Civic's on the strip(where everyone hangs)

    well if you bought the motor from SPOON, then i stand corrected. Did they do performance upgrades to it? I wonder what they did. . . . .

    i will NEVER....i repeat NEVER buy a civic if i have any choice. Civics are so played out i am no longer impressed with any civic of any kind. Sure, there are nice ones, but they dont impress me anymore. . . . . . just my opinion.

    Yeah well no offence when I say this but I didnt get this car for you all. I got it for me I like it and this is how it is now I am doing some major overhaul. Remember all stuff done now are not my doing. As far as opinions about Altezza's I am smoking them soon. I just ordered my front upper strut tower for it also.

    If I had to get another car it would be a 98 accord or a 3G teg.

    guys, ur forgetting how much less a civic costs compared to other cars ya know.
    also local availability will be an issue. not all of us have that much money to buy nicer cars. i wanted a teg or lude, but insurance cost and car price was a big issue for me. so i decided to at least get an SI i liked if i was gonna get a civic.

    My only suggestion is to lose those tails, kinda rice IMO. But overall very nice.
    Thinking about getting a new 3g...

    I never knew that spoon made those engines... and it sure doesn't look like a spoon engine. And how much did you pay for the engine? because real spoon engines usually run about $10k CDN, from what I hear.
