I read a lot of people's thoughts on import tuner cars (Honda seems to get get singled out the most) on this forum. It seems they have the reputation of being a big joke to many of you. You poke fun at the bodykits, big wings, overall lack of power, and of course the "fart-can" exhausts. Not to say that you are wrong in saying this kind of stuff, because for the most part it is probably true. It just seems like a harsh generalization to me. With this being said I feel the need to point out to some of you that are clean examples of import tuner cars out there. So FWIW this is my friend's 95 Civic hatch. What do you think?

I think this should be posted in the Other Cars section

I'll never understand why people who HAD to put tens of thousands of dollars into their car to make it remotely competitive feel the need to talk over people who buy their car from the dealer, take it straight to the track, and can post an impressive time.

However, just be honest about your car. If you have a riced-out Civic, you drive a Civic. It's not a "Cool, Ferrari beating, dope ride, yo"... it's a Civic, even if it WILL beat a Ferrari. You can redo the kitchen, lay marble slabs down as the floor, serve dinner on gold dishes, and put a bidet in the bathroom... but if your "fabulous, luxurious, elegantly-appointed, stately home" happens to be located in a trailor park... it's still a trailor. And you probably won't get too many ooohs and ahhhs describing it to people who own $20mil palaces.

That's all I'm saying.......

You can make anything fast with enough money but at the end of the day, I will still be going home in a Corvette and they will still be going home in a Honda. And by the way

Dude if you’re happy with it … then what do you care what people think?

It looks like someone modded my old washing machine.

Car doesn't make any power until 6,000rpm.
Nice for a Honda though. I like the lack of idiotic wings, body kit, etc. Your friend definately has taste and good sense. Now he just needs to move up the pay scale over time and upgrade to a 'vette. He'll be welcome here.

Who cares, I've seen some pretty fast riding lawnmowers too.
Lawn mower drag race!

I'll ask you this. If you don't care what other people think why read what people think here on this forum?

I care what other people think because I like getting other people views on things. We are all different. Thats what is interests me.

First and foremost i am a car guy - i like cars, all sorts of cars, including the little Hondas and the rest of the import culture, they are today what we had as kids and with the stupid prices you see on places like Barrett-Jackson these cars are a great alternate to younger people. I say Good on ya - i like your cars - not that i would own one - BUT I DO like what you've done with them

kevin40zx

ooooo that hurts. You really know how to cut to the core of me.

Even if that car has the HP, it doesn't have the torque feeling of a N/A V8, even still it looks feels and drives like a compact car not a sports car. And most of all it's FWD. Yes it still qualifies as rice, did he do a nice job, yes, but does it put him in a sports car category, NO.

I wonder how many C5 or our fellow corvette brethren for that matter bother to post stuff like this on honda forums?

nj02vette

Not at all. I think you'll find many forum members here who enjoy their lawnmowers.

That car fast and ugly and it is making me furious.

Ok ... if you like it ... I love it
