My favorite part is your carbon fiber hood, I didn't see that until this year, it must have just came out. I can't forget the "I <3 JDM" tag frame and "JDM" marker lights though.


    My Z28 might be "stuck in 1996" with a little function, but your civic is stuck in 1999 AND you're on the JDM nutswinging bandwagon... who is worse?



    Do you have longtubes? I only have shorties, but I do scrape on a lot!

    New tires on the ZR1s? lol
    mmmm that is an old picture (from about 3 yrs ago) the sidemarker are still on the car and so is the tag frame but that is about it. The hood is gone and so are the wheels (those things alone were worth as much as your car) However, my stuck in 1999 civic with a swap done in 1999 is faster than your POS f-body pile of parts from the GM-leftover-cavalier parts bin. Not to mention I can go around turns at more than 15mph and still 30+ mpg. So here it is 2009 and you have 10 years to catch up to my "1999" swap and you still look like a b-team reject.

    on a side ZO6 wheels or ZR1 wheels would be a vast improvement over what you have now

    What do you run in the 1/4?

    Your wheels cost $5k?

    I get 25mpg... tunes are nice. I make 3 times your torque and only 5 mpg less

    Left over cavalier parts? That's like saying S2ks are left over parts from your piece of shit... they're totally different cars.

    lol@u everybody knows GM has corporate (interior) parts several diff. models use. It has been one of there downfalls for quite sometime. there are very few parts that interchange between a civic and s2k w/o major modifications. Now I ran 13.0's (on drag radials) about 2.5 years ago and earlier in the thread it was stated that your car runs 13.3's. Your car probably does make three times the torque of mine, it should the motor is 3x's the displacement, and furthermore big-fuckin-whoop, go pull a trailer then. so you have 3x's the motor only 2x's the weight (being generous) and run .3 slower with sacrificed drivability. and just to make this post on topic if you are so concerned with form over function why are you running cooper fuckin cobras on your "drag setup" wheels?

    lol. Sorry, didn't know my black SS leather interior was from a cavalier, I missed that memo.

    I ran 13.3 spinning and not even running it out all the way, on radials 13.0 would be easy... I don't even have a motor swap. Shit, it's barely modded...LOL

    And if you think it's 2x your car's weight (generously...LOL), you're SORELY mistaken. Unless your car weighs around 1550 pounds

    you idiot, the "2x's the weight" statement was generous in your favor. goddamn I'm done with you, you aren't even smart enough to provide a good arguement.

    lol. 2x your weight in any way is dumb as fuck. What do you think it weighs?
