and for the rest

1. hater

A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.

Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesnt really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock somelse down a notch.
Susan: You know, Kevin from accounting is doing very well. He just bought a house in a very nice part of town.

Jane (hater): If he is doing so well why does he drive that '89 Taurus?

Looks practical

WTF are you talking about - BITCH!!!

It was posted ONLINE for opinions.. you're the guy who thinks every1 is supposed to like what you do and then get e-hurt when they don't - welcome to fuckin' Earth where not every1 will like what you do or like the things that YOU think is kool.

And LO-fuckin-L at low/negative offsets being "outside of the box"- it's TRENDY - it's not STYLE. STYLE never dies --- trends do. It won't be long before no1 is doing this on Japananese cars anymore... that means its a TREND. It's not new - it's not unique... it's not ground-breaking - ACCEPT IT.

**blacknightteg** · 05-17-2009, 07:52 PM

stance is impractical to amd beyond pointless. but its whatev.

So you want people to ride your fuckin coattail? There are 2000 Civics just like this. And a TREND is not record-breaking shit. Bc some1 offers their tactful opinion on a few pictures doesn't make it hate. Name a make and I probably have own it and still do. There is NO1 on this board that can't see the blood sweat and hard work to get a car this impeccable down to not using a bolt b/c it's not clean enuff --- MAD respect for those guys and the EFFORT applied to this car. But it's NOT new, it's NOT unique -- and it's NOT ground-breaking... accept it and stop calling people outta their name like you're some kinda hardass. 2 words for you kid

1) re

2) lax

Now go look THAT shit up on dictionary.com

**EmminoDaGreat** · 05-17-2009, 08:41 PM

I still have yet to understand the reasoning behind buying all these dope parts, just to have everyone oooo and ahhhh, I guess im just the person who likes to go fast, and have nice parts too, but damn....

Take for instance Ben ATLTSX, his hatch and tsx are quality, and we have made him realize how you can make a car fast, and still rock your "super tyte jdm stuff"

I like the wheels on the car, I just don't like the stance...
I like the engine bay, for being clean, and different...
I also think if you spend thousands on suspension, you should actually make use of it instead of just slamming the shit out of it to ride on bumb stops...
It has great paint, and nice parts....

But these are my opinions, you can take em as you want...

**BKgen®** · 05-17-2009, 08:48 PM

I think it's... cute.

lol

But really... on a serious note, fuck the haters and what they say. Do your thing, man. If everyone stopped doing what they do because of what haters have to say, then nobody would ever do what they like. It may look like dog shit, but damnit... that's your dog shit -- Be proud of it.

**FasTech** · 05-17-2009, 08:52 PM

Offset in the rear is alittle too much. Is this the hatch that had the teal wheels not long ago? If so, put those back on.

**boosted_nonv** · 05-17-2009, 09:00 PM

i like it, stance would look great on my new project, and i agree with you James

Tasteful wings that complimented OEM body lines gave way to triple-decker neon-lit 200 lb chandelier wings... same w/ body-kits.

You want lower offset, it can be done and done right... but why is everything in SpoCom over fuckin done? Maybe I'm showing my age but SHEESH. Simple - functional tasteful goes a LONG way. I just sold my pride and joy EG hatch and you couldn't tell that it hasn't been touched in over 6 years... TIMELESS and TASTEFUL like an old school rock/r&b song is the order of the day.

Playing the trends just means you have to re-do the shit later when that particular trend turns gay, and it will!! Idk...

/soapbox

damn that is well said! +reps

I understand both sides of the debate...I myself have been guilty of buying car parts only for the bling factor which is stupid in itself but then again it is MY money to spend...At the end of the day, like I've said in another recent thread where the discussion kind of went in this direction, having nice parts is awesome...None of us are involved in this culture, if you want to call it that, solely for self satisfaction...At some level we all seek approval and or acceptance of our peers based on our cars....BUT you can be proud of your car/parts without being a prick about it....Hardparking or not, being humble will take you a long way.....and never forget, you are always one wreck, mishap, stolen car away from losing all that you are quick to snub people over...Whether legit parts or replica, we are all involved with cars for the same reasons....

**GetFRESH!** · 05-17-2009, 10:34 PM

Ok ok ok people... Enough with all the talk of "it's TOO much!" or "oh cool another kid biting the V Dub style" or "yeah, that looks funtional (/sarcasm)" jibber jabber. First off... I understand that is an open forum, which is an awesome platform to expose all sorts of people to all sorts of new things... and of course EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion, which I fully support and encourage to every extent of the word. BUT... what is the difference between Spanky trying to push the boundaries and fit the widest width/lowest offset possible on a 5th gen hatch VS. someone taking a single cam, fully building it, boosting it with an ungodly ammount of PSI, and pusing the boundaries to get the fastest D series Honda? Both are pretty pointless if you choose to see it that way. One if a focus on style, stance, and just a test of sheer ball size to see if it really IS possible to roll with a static drop on a REALLY REALLY wide wheel... The other is a focus on speed, power, and a test of sheer ball size to see if it really IS possible to build a measly single cam into a monster that'll put most boosted b series' to shame. YET... the person building the single cam would probably be given the biggest ego stroke with the army of people hoarding around to give him a collective pat on the back for building such a beast. Like a few have already stated in earlier posts, not everyone builds their car to take to the track, be a daily driver... or hell, even be very functional at all (like mini trucks for instance... not very functional in the real world if you ask me, but they look cool as shit and serve their purpose doing so) Visual aestethics is one of the most important things in the car world, whether you think so or not. No one builds their car with absolutely NO concern with outter appearance... he just spent a little more focus on wheel fitment and tried something that was a little (well A LOT) more extreme than the usual Honda build. No harm in that right? Well as this thread will show.... Yes, LOTS of harm in that. God forbid someone takes what is seen by some as a "distasteful trend" that only Volkswagen guys can get away with and apply it to his own personal build and vision of how he wants his car to look... whether you think it meets your standards of "taste" or not. TASTE IS RELATIVE AND IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. What makes one wire tucked engine bay more TASTEFUL than another? What makes one wheel width/offset more TASTEFUL than another? What makes this tasteful on VW's and not on Hondas? Why limit one particular "style to one particluar make of car? What is shit to one man is gold to another, and there is no rule book on taste... and if there is, I haven't read it. I mean I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea... and I am well aware that this isn't "new" or "unique" but I'll have to say that it is ground-breaking seeing as though it is, as far as I know, the widest/lowest offset combination successfully fitted on this platform, which like it or not is a feat never achieved by anyone else to date... and in my book that is a great example of something ground-breaking. Largest turbo on a b16... Most whp out of a built NA motor... both are ground-breaking because there is no other example exceeding the two. And further more... this whole business with the VW ripoff, I just don't understand how because one group of people start one thing, and another adapts it, it's not considered genuine. I mean lets face it... the big boy V8's pretty much own the drag racing scene... yet there are tens of thousands of 4 cylinder import enthusiasts who partake in it... and that's ok right? I say, yeah it's impractical, yeah it may look stupid, yeah it may just be a hot trend that will eventually die off and make everyone feel real stupid for buying sportmaxxes back in 2009, but credit should be given where credit is due. It took a lot of work and finesse to make those things fit, and for what it's worth... I thnk he deserves some sort of recognition for actually fitting a wheel on a car that no one (including me) would ever think could work. I value any and every person on this forum who takes the time to interject with an opinion on any topic, and not just a barrage of hate and insluts. I mean no spite with my words as I am just another random faceless poster on a pretty cool car enthusiast forum putting in his 2 cents. I knew this one little picture would cause a pretty intense uproar, but come on people... it's just ANOTHER car put up on the chopping block for everyone's criticizm. Someone's always gonna have something to say about anything anybody posts... but all the bickering over some dude's car who lives over 2000 miles away? Let it go folks. Like it or not, he's gonna be driving this thing around till he finds a WIDER set of wheels for everyone to cry about... and unless you decide to move to Southern California... I'm sure it'll be pretty easy to avoid having to look at things like this. Oh, and go ahead and block out the two following search perameters: "Phaze 2" and "Hasback".

GetFRESH! over and out.

damn i read that whole thing. reps

**KevinT707** · 05-17-2009, 11:11 PM

A lot of funny comments in here, didn't get to enjoy all of them but I shall post my opinion.

I think the Civic itself is very well put together & the wheels are super baller but sure the fitment is a tad extreme & not very reasonable to drive on the streets everyday, which cars should be driven everyday .. especially a Civic because it's only a Civic

**roscoe** · 05-17-2009, 11:15 PM

man i'm a sucker for some mad stance. nevermind the haters. +1 for your pants bulging stance.

**BKgen®** · 05-17-2009, 11:26 PM

I think the best thing about crazy cars like these is that "JDM" seems to be on its way out the door...

you should know since you hate

**d_day87** · 05-18-2009, 08:07 PM

i hate to say it, but this is kind of a rip off of "euro" styling. harlequin bay, baller ass low offset bbs' and dumped.

other than that i like the car, a little too much camber in the rear though for my taste. should have pulled the quarters more to accommodate the wheel.

**jdm eg99** · 05-18-2009, 08:10 PM

haters make me horny lol

**OG-Skinny** · 05-18-2009, 08:20 PM

offest wheels on a non-tracked FWD car is fail, no matter how "good" they look.

**.blank cd** · 05-18-2009, 08:29 PM

gregg, you should tell mikeyy to sell me those enkies then
