Did 2001 Mark the death of the Tuner Civic?

[mocha latte cupcake]

i think it did kinda "die" in a sense. the CTR of EK platform was the last TRUE civic. now granted i can appreciate the newer ones (whatever the new Civic chas. code is (si's) not teh EP3's although they are kinda cute in a way, its not a true version of what the civic in the 90s was bred to be. i think that the EG WILL always be the civic to own, (no hate to the EF and EK guys) but its the quintesintial (sp? i know i butchered that one) civic, its light, the swaps are limitless, and suspension is on point and the aftermarket is unrealistic! the newer ones are great and all but the civic got well......fat. its not eh Sub compact it once was, granted honda brought out the fit and thats nice and all but they made the civic a 20k car with basically minor balls... and the fit a 12k car with no balls.... i mean the micro compact scene is growing and the kids of today will talk about the fit as we used to talk about the civic, but still... more engineering and less money profit should have been taken into the making of the car. its got the power, its look is decent but still its no TRUE tuner lovin civic.

just my 2 cents on the honda world

I agree. I think that after 2000 it was all down hill for tha civic. Over all the platforms that honda came out with just didnt seem to have the same "tunability factor" to me. I drive a 93 coupe and it just seems that no matter what your taste there are unlimited aftermarket mods for you. As for the newer civics things seem to have taken a "space ship" design. To me i dont feel that the new "civics" are realy civics, it seems that the strayed away from what everyone love about the older models. (example: clean smooth lines, affordabilty, weight, and overall "tunability".)
