My bro's 92 Civic (pics of it)

[Ityl]

Some people have no respect for others cars. Everyone doesn't want/need a fast car. Lately it seems that if the car is an import and isn't stripped and built for performance it's rice and sucks.

Great car. Looks like a lot of time has been put into it and is paying off.

Nice looking car, I'm not sure about the show ability of a '92 Civic, it wouldn't have a class it could win here in Iowa, but we don't have too large of an import scene.

My greatest concern is that if you look closely you can see that the body kit(back rear bumper, front bumper) don't match the body of the car exactly(close but not close enough for a show judge). That's big points off in shows around here.

There is no reason to believe that 4 bangers cant be fast, or that they arent as good of a choice as v8s.

With the exception of the 93-2002 z28, most "pony" cars were not terribly quick. Very VERY few broke 14.0.

Big engine, lots of hp/lots of weight

small engine/light car

Pick one.

Of course, you could get a v8 swapped first gen rx7.

Obviously irbodden doesnt get the idea that its a show car, AND NOT A 10 SECOND STREET RACING MACHINE

Get some neon lighting for under the car, then take a pic of it at night when its all lite up.


But very nice job, if you dont mind me asking, how much did that all cost?


Also is it a stick or auto?

[CoFFeY[NiTrO]]

We got the car around 99 for about 5000 (if i remember correctly)

Then he started adding parts here and there. Got in a wreck, and had to buy a new bumper so he just decided to buy the front and back ones.

Redoing the doors and dash and everything to black and white has probably cost around 30 bucks.


its stick

[SlipknotX556]

Civics are only supposed to be sticks.


If you want speed, get stick.

If you are lazy, get an auto.

Wrong answer.

Without a doubt, unless you're dropping some serious money into a 4 banger, a domestic will own it. Check any track times, domestics will always have the fastest. The weight to power/torque ratio with domestics is normally very favorable in comparison with imports. ...with just a few bolt ons and the normally I/H/E they can usually be pretty fast and run 12-13's easily. Mustangs, Camaro SS's, Trans Ams, Fire Birds, Corvettes, etc., etc. all have the potential to be 'fast' cars for cheap.

If speed is your game buy a domestic. If you like the challenge of tuning and have the money then go with an import.


...oh yeah and my .02 cents... upgrade the turbos on the rx7 if u're going to mod it, there's no point to putting a v8 in it, that takes completely from what the car is 'supposed to be' by going away from the rotary engine. they're great if you can tune them

They're not supposed to be anything but econoboxes.

...get what you want to drive.


Of course they're not very fast at all with automatics even if you have a torque converter and the car is chipped...but even with stick its not going to be a very fast car stock.

No car is fast stock, thats why upgrades are good.


But when I was in a friends GT celica, he just got it, it was very fast, im talking fast. 6 speed stick.

... celica's aren't very fast.


and yes stock cars can be fast.

Camaro SS, SVT Cobra/normal Cobra, nissan skyline, TT supra, turbo'd rx7, 350z, trans am, porsche, ferrari, etc., etc.

no 16,000 econobox is fast stock, there are fast cars that are stock

If i were to go domestic, I rather go with my neighbors completely original '69 Black and Yellow Shelby Cobra.


or if I had to go new, a 2000 Trans Am with a sexy *** paintjob or a new SVT cobra

Depends what model civic you have

You get a '94 HB w/ VTEC than stock it will run high 13's to low 14's.

I'd like to see that in print

Me too, I know I have owned Vtec Civics with my dad's 95 Impala SS. Granted it has the LT1 Corvette engine, its still one huge arse car with a lot of weight.
