Re: Do you ever get sick of the honda thing?
Though i dont own a honda, as a matter of fact, i dont currently own a car, i have always admired and longed to own a honda. Believe it or not hondas are very scarce down here. We have more toyota corrolla ricer owners than honda civics. I am a toyota man at heart but i do have a place of hondas. In a way i wish my island was littered with hondas, that way it would be easier for me to buy one, and parts wouldnt be so god damn expensive.

Re: Do you ever get sick of the honda thing?
When I got here I wanted something other than a Honda. I bought a toyota and was quick to sell it.
Ive really really really been considering dumping the honda and getting a RX7. They can be money pits, but I had a guy offer me $6000 for my civic a few days ago, and ive really been considering it.
There are a few other cars I wouldnt mind having, but when it boils down to it, im a Honda guy through and through. I think id miss my Honda.

Yeah, I could have ditched the TBI setup and slapped a carb on there like any mullet haeded jerk off would do. Then what, maybee I could have gotten into the low 16s.
More concerned with the twisties at the time with the Camaro and still the Teg would smoke its ***. I know it was not the prime F-body candidate, but compare the two year for year and you can see where I am coming from.
Don't try to turn this into a ****** *** import vs. domestic bench racing session.
Like I said before, just my experiences. I've owned both of these cars in stock and modified condition.
P.S. Even the TPI cars could barely break into the 14s unless modded.

I ask because sometimes I go to the races, and see a few mustangs, a few camaros, a few 350z's, a few supras, a few other oddballs (like my pickup truck), and then I see a sea of civics. I see them i droves, like ants when you step on an anthill.
Do you honda guys ever roll into a hangout and think "damn, this scene is getting old...?"
Not looking to pick a fight, just honestly curious.

My scene is not to associate with herd mentality riceboys.
Where you see a sea of Civics, you might see one fast Civic. Ignore the pretenders to the throne.

It's dumbasses that don't know how to drive an blame it on the car.
With that said, I also have 2 hondas. Hondas are great, cheap, reliable and can be fast. even if it is not fast, they are fun as hell to drive.
I get tired of ignorant ricers, but they are in every segment of the car world, from classics to imports

not to get anybody wrong here, but i love my civic and hate it at the same time. i love how they look and the possibilites are endless with them for swaps and upgrades. im to the point to where i dont want to mess with Fuel Injection. its nice and all, but when one thing goes wrong others follow right behind it. if i could pick up a carbed zc i love my car to death. but the mpfi is ------- with my head. just put on a new tb and iat and the ****** still wont run(well i had it running for a few minutes then it died). i just wish FI wasnt such a bitch.
