After 2 years...

Hi everyone, well...I just have to say, that after two years, things are starting to look really good for our 7th gen civics, now with Htown's K20 swap done, HAsport K20 swap in the works, that guy from Taiwan with the B16 on his sedan, that weird kid with his "custom turbo" that can't seem to find a way to take a picture of his turbo and all sorts of body kit, nice looking, ugly ones, crappy ones, good ones, etc...a sort of moderate aftermarket support...I just have to say...FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! we can't no only look good on our cars, but kick some AZZZZZZZ!!!!!!

I remember how the 7th gen's got diss 'cause they think it looked ugly...heavy...and was slow...but I wanna see who's talking now... hehehehe!! to all haters... STFU!!

Too bad we do not have the support that the RSX and the SI are getting right now. They will soon past us up.

well...I'm not saying that all of us are gonna now be able to take on Viper's or anything...yes, aftermarket companies are inclining to the RSX's better engine performance to aftermarket products an the Si(Vti) also...but now with all this new things available aftermarket companies should pay more attention...and it's important to say that it has now been showned the possibility of making our 7thgen's good, fast cars....it's expensive now, but in time it will be more afordable...I remember when this site began as 2k1civic.com all we could talk about was an AEM vs Injen intakes and AEM pulleys...and we talk to death about it...and could only dream of a K20 swap...now that dream is real...imagine what could be next (highly optimist now)...anyway!! our 7thgen are not dead or stuck....we have prove it's alive and well kicking... hehehhee.. my 0.02 cents!!

I agree 100% with you Cyclosporine. The future looks bright for the 7th Generation Civics.

Things look a hell of a lot better than when I first got the car in May of 2001. Still plenty of room for imporvement though.

car needs a credible turbo, from Garret/HKS/GReddy
car also needs parts to build up the d 17 motor (Pistons, Cam, etc.)
Need support froma good body kit company, like VeilSide or BOMEX.
Need good suspension/brake parts, from TOKICO, KYB, BREMBO, AEM.
Need good headers for LX models.

IMO all the 7th gen civic has is a buncha intakes and altezzas.

Choice of intakes, altezza's, front strut bars (RSX cross-over possible), rear sway bars (cross-over from RSX), camber kits (again, cross-over), and that's pretty much all she wrote. We've got other things too, it's just that there aren't that many choices as with these products.

i agree with whitericeboi, for some reason there isnt much market for our cars, but i dont give a damn what u all say, i think our cars look RAW with rims and dropped, i am talking clean RAW.

well...something I've noticed about the 7thgen is that since all the classic big companies have forgotten about us, gives the chance for small companies to step up and show their products...you never know, we 7thgen could be the next step in things to be...things change and can't be forever be based on the aging B series engine...althought, they are as sweet as ever... hehehehe!!

Hell yeah I think we have the best looking Honda out, I like it better than S2000, Prelude, Accord, Old Civics. I get compliments all the time, everyone loves how it looks.
