How gay would I be...

[cerfus]

If I said the new civic type r's can look very nice and preform relatively well? I've been reading a lot on them lately then new Type-R's are just so bad ass in my opinion especially race-ready spoon and feels prepared cars. Take a look at these pictures and try to tell me that for what that car is, it's not a badass car. And this car did the Tsukuba circuit in the 1:04 range, thats R34 GTR range, pretty quick for this mostly stock car. I say this because the type r is to my understanding almost the same car as the Si, just different cams,exhaust,ecu,intake, and brembos..

I'm not familiar w/ the numbers on that circuit, but if it's in the R34 GTR range, that's pretty fast....

the stock sedan si-r looks good. Neighbour has one. The second you mod those things though (visually) you become an instant douchebag.

the coupe is hideous.

About this gay

[flyinb501]

^^^^Agreed.

[Groove1797]

I had a yellow Type-r and it handled amazing! They are loud, race inspired cars. The interiors are bare and dominate around the track

Not gay at all, they're pretty sharp cars and bang for the buck can't be denied.

[RodMan]

if I got one, I would just make it a sleeper. with some nice rims though

Hey, can't argue Honda makes good cars. Definitely value for money, even though it would make you SUPER MEGA GAY! :d

Seriously though I would probably tone it down a bit on the exterior but otherwise, why not? Hate to break it to you though but 1:04 is okay, but not awesome. The Super Now FC3S (RX-7 for the unfamiliar) does it in 57. And Super Now is one of, if not the smallest company competing and producing parts for rotary's, so no Honda multi-million dollar budget.

I'm waiting for MacDaddy and Monizzle to come in here tell us all what a POS it is cause it's not an Audi.

Do it, I've been looking to get a EK9 hatch, with a type r transplant. Sexy as hell, can't argue in terms of performance IMO. Everyone bags Honda's for their horrible interiors, and such, but IMO, a real car enthusiast that enjoys driving will not deny that these cars are very good performers. Get it, you won't look gay.

CTRs are sick. I'd rather have an ITR. Either way, I hope you have a fortress to keep it in, these cars get stolen more than anything else.

One day I'll have an 11s EG hatch. Cheap, fast, and easy to work on.

haha as luck would have it I ran into a boosted new civic Si today that gave my 3 a run for its money on the freeway! It looked stock, just lowered with exhaust and that's it (which is exactly what I would do) making it even more potent, sure it looks stock until you pop that hood! I'm in a toss-up between a few cars Rover/7er/Evo/S500/built Si/cayenne this weekend will tell, I want a truck but an evo would make my dreams come true which to most would seem crazy over the other cars...

If you want a Honda, go buy a Honda. Just don't ask me to fix it, I'm done working on Honda and Toyota's.

Just please don't expect me to think it's cool.

We had the new Mugen Civic at the dealer I worked for in OH, I really wasn't that impressed. Sweet color, but definitely not worth the money. Interior sucked in comparison so Euro cars.

First off this honda is N/A, not a twin turbo'd(correct me if wrong) RX-7 that's rear wheel drive and fully race prepped as well. This honda is a Civic Si Mugen RR prepped by feels racing (everything minus engine) not a honda corp. affiliated race car, 1:04 is fast for a car that has 238 hp and 160tq bottom line.

If you want a Honda, go buy a Honda. Just don't ask me to fix it, I'm done working on Honda and Toyota's.

Just please don't expect me to think it's cool.

uhh..

ok?..

I could care less if people think it's cool, or you for that matter.

I would definitely not call you or it gay... I don't know why people don't like them; sure, they're not Euro and they don't have the greatest sound, but I could definitly learn to love it. It's a very pure car, N/A, great handling, high-revving, not a lot of homely features... it's great. could use a small turbo to make some more power up high though :)

[pOrKcHoP07]

damn...i guess i'm different, but I loved my Honda interior. why? because it never fell apart...the a4 is another story.

IMO - I love Honda's when prepped correctly.
