Hah so true, oversized turbos on stock single cammers i dunno, shouldnt b done. agree w everything especially the b series dress up parts. that probably sells more than cams & pistons.

Honda has DEFINATELY strayed from the glory days of 92-01. Remember the ITR, S2000, civics had DOHC & independent rear suspension now we got bullshit torsion bar like old tercels. cars are minivan status tall, and the new civics are ugly and look like small camrys. I wish honda jumped on the new competition (hyundai has velostor & genisiscoupe both turbo). toyota has the FT-86 VW has GTI. and we got the CRZ.

*death to all honda thieves btw lol

and by glory days i mean in manufacturing, engineering, cost, and bulletproof reliability. (not in tuning) i dont miss the wings, tips, bodykits ala fast and the furious. i like the way tuning is now alot better. i had experience w the 01-05 civic and they werent exactly reliable.

and to the dude restoring the EF, good luck we need more ppl like you!

I just wanna see more people into it, I'm not sure it will ever be what it was in the late 90s-2005 or so. At least where I live, I don't see a whole lot people still in to it. Then again, maybe the nice cars just stay in the garage so they won't be stolen. Even with all the lame stuff that came with it, there used to be a cool culture to go along with it.

As long as **** stops looking like this. It should be good.

I'd like to see just all the scenes just fall off and watch people build their cars for the way they want them and not to please everyone else taste. Yeah some people have some terrible taste but hey who am I and what will flaming change the way they do it. But personaly i like functional over everything instead of look at my 185's on a 9 inch wheel.

If by that you mean "trying too hard" then I agree.

clean: no body kits, flames, primer
functional: not hellaflushed/stanced/ but nicely lowered.

im still defending that teg lol.

I would like to see more unity in the honda culture..its like every man for themselves smh..other car cultures both domestic and import are more unified..the honda scene is distrustful and paranoid,although with good reason,but I'm sure there's a good amount of us who wholeheartedly enjoy this scene regardless and feel distanced from our peers..

I don't see that happening at all. Just like my CVCC. If I were to put it out for sale, I would probably only get what it would cost back in 1979. And I probably would be lucky if I got that much. Cars like Civics just don't have that ooomph to make it an investment like that.

I liked the years in 1999-2001 because those were the years that this really got kicked off and everything was kind of fresh and not recycled. Back then I looked at these cars. Now, if I see 1 Civic, then I've seen probably 30,000 of them.

Props! Although I don't like Civics, 240s or over half the things people do to their cars these days, I'm not into knocking the owners. If people want to copy, let them copy. If their attempt at originality looks more than crappy to you, then why get feisty about it? It's not your car.

Being almost 42, I've been through several "changes" in this hobby. Generation gap is the biggest obstacle between new styles and old. Each set of new modifiers thinks that their particular style is the one to end it all. I'm now the old man looking at what younger people are doing these days and saying "the hell are you doing?" just like I know was done to me in the 1980s when I was the younger person. You don't have to like everything, but you might as well accept whatever comes because it's going to come anyway and you'll just be miserable while it happens.

This is spot on.

Here goes!!! https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...8#post46928368



I'm not sure I understand. How can the most modified car owner feel distanced when every car pretty much looks just like the other? I don't see how you can be more unified when you have a Civic.

More J-swaps....I want to see more aftermarket companies involved making parts for them...I would like more selection for the buggy instead of having to one-off everything.

Less of this bullsh1t. If you really want to be different get something other than a Honda.

Arthas

STUFF THAT HAS TO GO
-Poke, Nothing wrong with fitment or helladerp but poke is ugly.
-Trying too hard to be different or building the car for the sake to be different.
-Sportmaxx 002's lol.
-Driving around with yellow high beams.
-Sticker bombing
-Audi style head lights with LED's on them. What happens when you pull up to an R8?
-All the "hatin'"

^ Also, blue headlights! Gah! Get off the road! They cause excessive glare and DON'T improve visibility.

Thanks for quoting my post.
I snipped your message into a quote which should be stickied on the forum homepage of Honda-Tech.
