It's to quiet here lately.
What happen to all the original boosted members ?

It was 2001 when I became a member, back when the site was called 2k1civic.com
man I'm feeling old, what I'm talking about I'm old

It was 2003 when I build my engine and 2004 when I boosted.
Even before the pistons came out on the market I had them.
Aside all critizism my engine has being running strong ever since, no repairs no overheating, no broken gaskets (only once then I found the studs block guard and it was done), no broken intakes, no change of turbo.

Hell I was beating on the car at the track before I sold it. 5 passes back to
back running nitrous, after that I drove to McDonalds for a snack.
and look good while doin it

What happen to xturbo?
drew?
In 2008 I sold my vic for about 30k (traded for a Mercedes S500 and 10k)
Sold the S500 for 23k and bought a MS3 cash. and I'm already working on it.
My new goal 500whp

Although I miss my car every day.

Still, I wonder what happen to all dose projects that supposed to come and spank me when done?

I'll have to go on the books as the most succssesfull 7thgen ever build.
How can you argue with this




All custom made stuff hardly any off the shelf stuff.
hate all you want my record speaks for it'self

man it feels good to blow my self off
let it rip

Steve and Drew are still around. Drew has some problems with his car but he's getting it worked out and Steve should done with his build soon.

i thought drew got rid of the civic and got an Evo?? i remember a parting out thread cause i was drooling over those Volks...

 
Rep Power: 281

Somebody talked him out of selling it and he's going all out with the vic, but I can't let the rabbit out of the hat I'll let Drew confirm his plans.

nice man i always liked that civic. such attention to details. i remember all those post and pics about building it the right way.

 
Rep Power: 248

I know, at least for me and a lot of others, we're just broke as ****. It's not a question of motivation, that's for sure.

 
Rep Power: 812

its true lol. i would rather spend the money on a good meal.

 
Rep Power: 281

DRAMA FRIDAYS I love it.

 
Rep Power: 321

wow. where did all the hate come from? lol. im pretty sure i have a hondatuning magazine with supermex's car on the cover...

 
Rep Power: 812

i love how people have to talk trash all the time about who has the bigger turbo, like it even matters lol.

 
Rep Power: 281

He'll come back when the MS3 is making 500hp. I will be impressed if I ever see it in a magazine though.

In the end, we're all here because we drive Civics...... CIVICS

 
Rep Power: 327

Both cars are top notch cars! Both have a place. Lets show some respect to each!

Enough said!

I think its a cool car.

This thread has been cleaned up...
Supermex has been here from day one and raised the bar for the 7th gen. He doesnt deserve the newer members on this site giving him **** for anything. Spray or no spray... the bar was set. Is there a best car? ...no. Everyone has their own taste and their own style. If that style isnt yours, then its whatevers- let them do their own thing. If everyone did the same **** we'd all have ssm vic's with black interiors- lowered, rims, exhaust, tint, subs, turbo.... but we're not. We're all different. Theres no need to be an ******* to anyone on this site. If you dont like what they post, move on to the next one.

And andy, yes... you have crazy power. Supermex does too.

...reopening for now, keep it civil.

Eh well, in response to your question about where the cars that would spank you went, it's right here

 
Rep Power: 360

weaksauce triz. lol


30k for your car is a joke. almost made me fall off my chair.

anyways im never really here, but im doing my thing with my ccar. results will be out shortly.

 
Rep Power: 321

nothing wrong with an ssm with drop, rims, I/H/E, and tint

 
Rep Power: 329

Oh boy, there is some activity now
Is like old times.
So, I never said it was the best civic
I said and I quote:
I'll have to go on the books as the most succssesfull 7thgen ever build.

Why?
Made 3 magazines( in america, europe and mexico) won HIN's, Nopi and other countless shows.

Had lot's of sponsorhips
pork a few hot models in it,
was on TV
the engine is almost unbreakable, is not being rebuild, open again, fixing it, or anything, it was done right the first time, and made lot's of power.
Helped develop many of the parts you are buying today sonme still a prototype.

AND at the end of it all sold it for 30K, a joke or stupid or not, it happen!
I would of NEVER sold it for less than that, there is nothing wrong with it.
I call that very succsesfull

Is actualy a great deal for our cars not as much for my self personaly, but my civic left an impression on a lot of ppl all over the world, not only in this forum.
It had a mutimedia effect.
(The 7th gen not even on production any more)

It's just a fact.

So I went and bought a new Mazda speed 3 with my money , cash up front and I'm working on it now, new goal 500 whp (is reachable)
I'm already sponsor by Mazda racing and my old sponsors are coming right along, you'll see it in a magazine in a year or two may be less.


Thanks for the good comments and the clean up, I even more thankfull for the hate is shows you care

Also, please noticed I'm not here cursing or getting all worked out, just stating the facts, I keep it clean and CIVIL.

I love you guys and I'll miss you all even the haters
Had many good times and good experiences, and the best part I meet good ppl and had a lots of fun.
But is time to move on with the new.
Stop beating the dead horse (AndY)

Put it this way, everywhere I go, anyone making fun or dising the vics, all I got to do is show my 7thgen project and all the accomplishments and is: WOW I didn't know a 1.7 colud do all that!

That's all.
end of rant

You've also got an acutely developed sense of modesty. You forgot to add that to your list of reasons why you're so awesome.

 
Rep Power: 365

it's neat that old school members just can't stay away from the once-best bastard-child-of-civics site in ze world. 30k for a civic is pretty damn impressive, on top of the fact that your car was secks, aside from the diarrhea-orange color . perhaps, someday, i too will be flaunting my vic (though it will be superior as it is a sedan) and laughing down upon all of you as well from atop my mountain made from the skulls of those that said "you're gay". perhaps.

I'm not OG on the site but I've always liked the car simply from the attention to detail put in to the build. I learned a lot from your FAQs and progress, Hector - it all helped me in my build. Let's face it. Anything over 200whp in a Honda Civic is pretty ****ing fast Honda Civic. While you did things differently than I would have and did, that's neither here nor there.

I can't forsee driving the Civic on a daily, basis forever. Pretty soon, she'll get gutted to become a track ***** and I'll move on to a more comfortable (relatively speaking) daily driver. But I'm still having fun in my Civic everyday.

I donno why my last post in here got deleted, It wasn't bad mouthing or anything.

^I said the same thing in my last post, "And all this time I thought modesty was a virtue."

Hm. If I had a fast civic, I would let the dyno sheets do the talking.

There ya you

Oh and I have an acute sense of stating the facts,,,I mean modesty.

 
Rep Power: 281

Hector how much boost were you riding around with on the street?

 
Rep Power: 329

I was running at 21 psi but I had to drive it with caution it was getting lose after 4k rpms.
I drove the car to Atlanta and back for NOPI and it ran just fine all the way, 4th and 5th gear was lot's of fun, I kept up with the big boys driving corvetts and cobras,
We tuned it down to run 18psi when I sold it as a precaution until the new owner gets used to it.

 
Rep Power: 812

wow thats on a mustang dyno too, those usually read on the lower side vs dynojet.

 
Rep Power: 329

Thanks gear it was hot and humid too
I had to signed two waivers to run it that hard, close to 9k rpm's.
