Don't know if this is a repost. If it is I'm sorry but I thought everyone might want to see this.

A stock 7th Gen with smoked headlights... **** the K20 (yeah, it's old news Malaysia gets them - and it's an automatic, which makes it slower than a 5-speed 1.7 anyway). I wish we got smoked headlights but that's Honda avoiding looking like Toyota (over in the States).

"...the meter panel that came with red illumination to make the cockpit “more styling”. If you are in California or anywhere in the United States, then it is a trendy Fast and Furious look, but in Malaysia it is simply a Beng thing. "

I thought this was funny how Malaysians see USA drivers, but the fact is that we all want to get rid of that red/orange illumination. And can you imagine everyone in Malaysia saying, "dang man, your car so Beng!" haha. I guess Americans are somewhat similar by saying, "your car is banging." Whatever...

Indeed. A detuned Si engine. Probably for fuel economy purposes knowing Honda.

Even if a Civic is not particular flashy, fast or loud when it leaves Honda’s factory, it does not take Ah Beng long to perfect the car. Just slap on a full complement of Mugen Power and Type-R stickers, complete with Japanese characters that one can’t make sense of, plus a set of humongous mufflers from Ah Heng Pakar Ekzos, and you have the archetypal Bengmobile ready for the pilgrimage to the Temple of VTEC (yes, there really is such a group).

Lol... the term "Ah Beng" kinda is said in a derogatory manner. You could probably link it to the way the term "Rice" is used here in the states.

Why would you think that it's slower than a 5-speed 1.7? Just because it's an automatic, doesn't mean it's slow. You people who think that a manual is the **** need to come down off your high horse. It has more power than the D17, it has 150 hp, you're a complete dumbass if you think it's slower than a 5-speed 1.7. Unless you're a pro, a 5-speed automatic is consistently faster than an equivalently powered 5-speed manual
