Always said i didn't want a Civic

It's true i have always said i din't want a civic. all through high school i said they were to bland and to numerous. I drove a dropped 1980 Chevrolet Step Side. I still own that one and am working on getting a big block for that. Then i had a faze......a DSM faze......well its torn down in the garage after the timing belt dropped and so did 8 exhaust valves....so now here i am a truck thats to expensive to drive and a car in over a 1000 pieces....time to take a trip....my buddy wikedcivic works at honda and said i had to see the new 04's. well on the way to his house my truck ran out of gas.....that day i drove home an 04 mag. metallic EX coupe.

So far just some small stuff
Neuspeed Race Springs
Neuspeed short shifter
Injen short ram.

more on the way.....i can't help it

Me too...the dealer asked me if I wanted to see the car. I said, "no, lets just sign the paper. just as long as its 32/38 mpg we're fine." Then after signing the contract, he walked me where my car was parked. It blew me away, I never thought a Civic could look this good with a quality. Then he opened the door for me, I was even impressed with the interior!!!

For a daily driver I think its really good. As far as performance i don't know what people expect for what you pay. yeah the vic is about 15k and you get 127hp or you could pay 30k+ to get a sti or evo for less than 300hp wtf would you expect so much for so little

cryption should not be trusted
I don't think I would get another either. It was a great first car, but it just isn't the best track car .. even with a lot invested. Can't beat the gas mileage though .. oh man

Let me quote myself since I just sold my 04 Civic on the eve of Christmas
after 7 months of ownership. Wow, a 7thgen sold on the 7th month

If you want a civic to be a track car go buy a hatch.
Gut EVERYTHING dash seats floor overhead. friggin glovebox.
remove hood and A/C
move the battery to the trunk.
b series swap.

and your 1000lb metal can will fly.
my not be comfortable but it will be fast....

Howdy.
Have fun with your good gas mileage and keep all your stock parts for when you want to trade up for something with more displacement.

I already have 2 things with more displacement but i have added a few more things that make this car handle really well
JDM RSX-S 22mm Rear sway bar
KYB AGX adjustables. and some new wheels and tires this thing feels way more planted than my 1st gen GSX or my hot rod 1980 2wd chevy pickup
