Too funny!

Psykopathik · 01-18-2009, 07:02 PM

wowow his thread exploded lol!

the reason i want 4 drs is I need to think about "mini Turbo's" in my future lol.

who knows? 2dr doesnt cut it any more.

my other choice is an older WRX.

as to the disposition of my Current parked ride, i dunno what to do. its most likely an ignition problem. i have gas and power. my Crane AMP may be shot.

at any rate, i dont think i wanna go throught the hassle of throwing more time and $ into this car. it has served me well and should be retired

if anyones is interested, throw me some offers.

brief rundown of the car:

93 Civic Coupe - (Salvage title) Ferrari (dark)blue paint
300,000 kms on body 200,000 kms on Motor i think. new timing belt.

CruisingDream · 01-18-2009, 07:06 PM

I prefer the sedan version. not used to see coupes since there are no coupes in where i'm from. sedan in CSX form are the hottest.

poweredbyph · 01-18-2009, 07:28 PM

^^Hmm strange. There are just too much coupes out on the road.

Psykopathik · 01-18-2009, 07:37 PM

Went to a dealership to check one out today. oooh its nice, but 30K nice???? i dunno....

GordonTse · 01-18-2009, 07:54 PM

yea, 30K is pricey, but its a pretty nice car.. i love rev'ing to 8000K hahaha!! VTAKKK!

BoS_DC2 · 01-18-2009, 08:09 PM

High five!

I prefer Si Sedans over the Coupes

GordonTse · 01-18-2009, 08:29 PM

Yeah... but it's the best bang you can get for that much money if you're getting a new car. For the same amount you can get a cooperS or a GTI but I wouldn't :S

How are your options for used cars?

Or you could get a mazdaspeed 3 for roughly 30k

poweredbyph · 01-19-2009, 12:02 PM

^^How about a WRX265? Best bang for the buck and it is pretty much as fast a STI, on streets that is.

vo_hantu · 01-19-2009, 12:02 PM

whoa the sedans are pretty sweet.

wrx 256???? whats that?

Alatar · 01-19-2009, 03:35 PM

WRX265 (265hp). It's this year's model of the WRX, basically got an extra 41hp, and some extra torque. Uses the same turbo as the STi, slightly difference boost specs obviously.

Better suspension and handling than last year's WRX (224hp) and just overall a funner car than last year. Only available in 5spd, though. I know you might have trouble with that, Turbo E.

kc1337 · 01-19-2009, 04:05 PM

Some people just prefer N/A over boosted, this is probably one of those cars where its rewarding to drive keeping the car in the powerband.

its actaully 8200rpm before rev-limiter, with hondata reflash it's 8600 i think and lowered vtec engagement etc.

Psykopathik · 01-20-2009, 08:14 AM

what really sux is im tired of driving stick (maybe its the race clutch talking) but i kinda want auto now

im sick of suffering for raw power/performance (noise vibration etc)

B4N M3 · 01-20-2009, 05:15 PM

I LOVE the new Civics...drove my buddy's '08 LX 4-door on a 2,000km roadtrip a while ago and it was a ton of fun...I actually prefer the sedan's looks over the coupe's...and the 4door Si is awesome...

btw...your car looks great...too bad it's dead

KindeR · 02-09-2009, 03:52 PM
