no, just that every body puts a wing and euro lights on moms old civic with a NOS sticker and some rims worth more than the car. not to mention, who wants to race with a Front Wheel Drive? if your talking about SCCA drifting, then you can forget it if youve got a honda, no point in tuning a fwd for drifting, just because you saw it in initial d or fast & the furios, doesnt mean its true. even when i go to the altamont speedway, the hondas are always either parked in the parking lot, or they didnt place. the top 8 always is a RWD, nissan, mazda, or a toyota.
some cars i like..
1992 mr2
1984-86 GTS corolla ae86 (coupe)
80-83 KP61 toyota starlet
86-91 RX-7 FC3S turbo2 and n/a
91+ RX-7 FD twin turbo
nissan 180sx silvia s13 (sr20det)
nissan 240sx silvia s14 (sr20det)
nissan silvia s15 (sr20det)
datsun 510
240z

gawd wheres the transam????
im gonna b pissd if they dont come out with a new one like the stang and camaro did!

I personally like the look of Honda's / Toyota's / a few other "riced" out cars. Small engine, good fuel economy, can be modded nicely and still be pretty good on gas for its power output. I don't like American cars, never really grew up with them, also, I prefer the "Technical" sort of style to jap cars as oppose to big clunky v8's. No offence to any Domestic Lovers :)

lol, define fast, I've never seen a fast civic/crx without an engine swap, yeah they can be made very fast if all you do is keep the cars frame, but an engine swap with something that wasn't designed to be in the car is unreliable.

1989 Mustang GT 5.0 High Output v8 Stick Shift.

vroom, classic, american, muscle, not to slow, 25mpg, 18 years old.

someday... ahhhh someday... i will get my car... not just any car MY car, cuz i will rebuild it, peice by peice... 1968 Camaro SS..... and across the back bumper (or back window haven't decided) will be it's name.... Decimater (sp? i'll figure out the spelling when i got the car)

well as you can see i dont have a big wing, stickers or euro lights, i dont have neons or a painted interior. As for racing in scca, they have different classes for all cars "ie : fwd , rwd, and awd, also the class of the car and the modifications it has, " http://www.scca.com/ can help you with your noobness to the sport, ill fogive you for being ignorant.

P.s. - Auto cross is not about drifting its about driving threw a course of cones as fast as you can with out losing points, if you want that you can go here http://www.usdrift.com/Default.aspx

its not unreliable, what do you think racecars come off an assembly line, get a clue man they are put together to be made fast. some frames are cutom made and every part is individualy made for the car, some are off cars you can buy at the deeler or older cars "regurlar cars ingeneral". With your above statement your also saying that any mustle car or truck or anything with any engine is unreliable, you just neeed to drop this argument your not going to win, as for an engine swap in my car here it is, its a pepy fun to drive car and thats what i wanted:thumbsup:

Ok,First I want to say Car People are VERY opionated about their Rides...That being said,I'm "Old School" and Love "Detroit Iron"!!!! Nothing sounds better than a 700 Hp Big Block Chevy Reciding in the distance...But has any of you seen what a 69 Chevelle SS Vert costs nowadays?? Like 45 Grand!!! Lets not get into COPO Camaro's,Yenko Novas or Chevelles,Baldwin Motion Chevy Anythings,Anything Mopar (Pre 71) Anything Shelby or any version of the V-8 Vegas!!!
Am I into "Imports"? Yes,But only One...Volkswagens!!!

Please laugh if you want, but for the cost of just a Honda engine,You too can Do This>>>
