Re: What did you have before your civic???
I don't have any pics of my old car, but I had a 1992 Toyota Paseo. It had an exhaust leak so it sounded like a mean go-kart, and it short shifted second gear, but I fuggin loved that car. My friends in high school dubbed it a "frappachino powered stunt-burst paseo"

Re: What did you have before your civic???
Had a 2006 scion tc, then I had a son, Its hard to keep pulling the car seat in and out so now I just bought a 2002 civic sedan for my wife. I'm going to put hid's, the oem style fogs on it and a intake. Not sure if I should lower it, but swaybars are looking good. Not sure if exhaust is a good Idea yet ether after all It's a mom and baby in it all the time. Wife likes it, but she has to remember how to drive a stick.

Oh, and if you know how ridiculously small they are, I fit 8 people in that thing, everyone with backpacks, some with musical instruments (I was in band in high school, and some were trombones and ****), everyone had backpacks, and my friend Shannon was sitting on the trunk because she lived a block down the street. Oh high school... hahaha

Re: What did you have before your civic??? My buddy has a 95 neon and that thing is tough as sh*t! He abuses that car soo much..bounces of the rev limiter everyday and it handles just fine....even handles a 90 shot of NOS! Idk how it hold together...but it does. Musta been a good day at the Dodge factory that day.

I sold a 2004 Celica GTS and replaced it with a 2010 Civic Si.
The Celica was a great car. I just needed something a little bigger that did better in the snow. The Si does everything I need right now.
