Default Own a Civic si? Honda Tech needs you.

On behalf of Honda Tech and Royal Purple, one user has the opportunity to defend Honda as the best FWD sport compact!

Presented by Royal Purple and airing on SPEED channel and across the worldwide web ‘The Forum Wars’ is the first and only show dedicated to giving real members of real online car communities the opportunity to go head to head with their rival counterparts in the ultimate racing challenge.

Forum vs Forum. Civic Si vs. VW GTI. Owner vs. Owner.

Official drag race. Timed Lap. Timed Slalom. Three events. One winner.

If you have the car, experience on the track, and the eggs to bring it in front of a broadcast audience then Royal Purple’s ‘The Forum Wars’ WANTS YOU!

If you….
- Own a (recent model) Civic Si (street legal, DOT approved tires, current registration and insurance)
- Have track experience
- Live in L.A or surrounding counties – or willing to drive
- Come fully trash talk equipped and ready to be on camera

Royal Purple’s ‘The Forum Wars’ wants to hear from you.

Email theforumwars@gmail.com, briefly stating why it should be you representing your community and the mighty Civic Si. Please also include details of your location, driving experience and a picture of your car.

This is a “run what you brung” competition. No tire changes. No trackside tuning.

I wonder how many pretenders are going to try and sign up for this. I hope it's on a real track Like willow springs and not a coned out parking lot.

When I said pretenders I meant owners who never drove on a real track much less autocross.

The main benefit of coilovers is the ability to corner weight the vehicle.

My understanding is that it will be (on a proper track).

Would love to check an event like this out in person. I know a couple vDub guys and they are all just as loyal as we are, should be a pretty good amount of trash talk. Sounds like a good idea for a show.

What are some other good rivalries?

M vs. S vs. AMG
EVO vs. Sti
Camaro vs. Mustang
MS3 vs. SRT4

No takers? Nobody wants a free track day and the chance to show up a GTI?

We need a stock (or lightly modded - suspension, exhaust etc) Civic Si ASAP

We are shooting 10 different match-ups, a few of which also include:

*Corvette ZR1 vs Viper ACR
*Nissan GT-R vs Porsche 997 TT
*2010 SS Camaro vs SRT8 Challenger
*2008 M3 vs MB C63

Come on guys and gals, somebody needs to step up or else we have to go and find a Mazdaspeed3 to take your place. Your call.

We received your initial email, but no details of your car, pic, driving experience etc.

I just sent a questionnaire to fill out.

Cheers.
