well you better start calling me a liar b/c i think those clear tails are downright UGLY!
The whole point of doing those things (and the windshield washer nozzles & seatbelt pads) was to customize your car & be different.
BUT EVERYONE IS DOING THEM NOW!!!...
its not customizing if its not different. :)
I like tiesto14's car.... clean, no stickers, no real rice. But the second you slap a VTEC sticker on there or a "type-R" or "SiR" badge on there, its total . There's a ****** around here driving an automatic 2.0 Golf and has VR6 badges on it. I want to beat the outta this kid... and he's always the one to race people... so when the Civic HX's beat him, they all think they beat a VR6..... these are the dips you gotta look out for.
The only difference is, most of us in the VW crew know our hondas.... i can spot the difference between a Type-R and a integra GSR with kit. I can tell the difference between a Civic EX and LX. I am fully aware of what the B18C-R is capable of. :D
...and i like these guys that answer the thread "all go AND all show"..... THAT WASN'T ONE OF THE OPTIONS!!! LoL..... if that was, we all would have chosen that! (duh). heheh... i want "no go AND no show".... a 1988 Dodge Reliant should take care of that. ;)

hey liar, wassup!!?? :D
yes but i'll be the firs w/ altezza's for my car in edmonton, that i'm sure of...i've asked around other mod shops and they haven't had them yet
yeah, i wouldn't go for stickers either...that's a little misrepresenting. but as for anything else...i'm pretty much in the state of mind...it's your car, do what u want. there still not that many people with mods (yeah, i know i live in edmonton so there's not too many people period) and so i can get away w/ it |

i think you mean the B18C5
i personally don't care what people do to their cars. its like listening to trance. if they like cheese, leave them be.
although i do think clear tails/altezza are ugly (yay i'm a liar too). incorrect badging is just dumb if you think people can't tell the difference between a GS-R and a Type R or an Si with an SiR. :rolleyes: anyone who thinks they are fast all of a sudden because they got an intake and exhaust has got to get some real professional help. lets see here, oh yeah all those neon glow is crap. putting those gold license plates or anything gold are lame. ahh...thats all i can think of now. lol |

I've never been able to understand one thing: What's with Americans & Japanese cars ? I mean here in Europe, ok u have the Toyota Celica & the Mazda RX-7 but that's about it. When people get to talking about real sports cars, they mean Ferrari, Maserati, klp. I mean who in their right mind would buy a Nissan & be proud of it ?I mean, just look at it, look at a pic of a 360 Modena & you'll now what I mean.... This occured to me while watching the movie Fast & Furious which featured only Japanese cars. & I know the guy in the film overtook a Ferrari, but it was a 355 & let's not forget that Ferrari makes better models, including the pinnacle in automobile technology (F2002 anyone ? :D )
Anywayz to the question asked I'd go for a little bit of both. I think that any car above 200bhp is pretty satisfactory performance wise (depends on weight ofcourse, but assuming we mean a normal car)
I drive a Seat Leon 20VT4 with the engine re-tuned to 225bhp (instead of the original 180). It's a pretty good car, pretty fast on the highway & devilishly fast on mountain roads. When I bought it a had to make the same choice. It was between the Leon & an Alfa Romeo 147 2.0 (150bhp atmospherical engine, the Leon has a 1.8 liter turbocharged). The 147 was about 5000$ more expensive & was more beautiful & had a 5 speed semi-automatic gearbox, but the Leon was more powerful, 4-wheel drive & had a 6-speed manual gearbox. So I chose the Leon & I am pretty satisfied. |
