Default New dude here- Don't hate

Well obviously I'm new here w/ my 1 post count. But fact of the matter is, I don't even own a Civic. . . I actually own a 2000 Ford Escort ZX2 s/r. Sadly the only reason I'm here is because I'm looking for a dual core radiator for my car, and figured this would be a good place to check out. I will say tho, civics are pretty nice. Most people consider civics rice, but IMO they are only rice if the driver makes it that way. A lot of civics can look very good and have a lot of power put under em. Oh, I test drove an 08 civic and I about died. Thing was AWESOME! But anyways, I need to somehow get a 25 post count so I can post up in the wanted section, but that wont be so easy. lol

Below I attached a picture of my car after doing a motor replacement, power steering delete, ac delete. And my first wire tuck (also one of first on our site). I am a member on TeamZX2.com I have (atm) 2,756 posts. Have been a member there for 2 years but our site crashed back in april last year.

Don't mind the colors, it was a joke played on me! lol
I have a +3 feedback. Not one negative. I've never bought or sold much because I've never had money till now (factory job)!

So ya feel free to ask any questions. I'll be around for a while.

OH! Anyone auto-cross? Anyone in the Michigan area auto-cross?

Ford is actually the least likely to go under, and is in no real danger of it right now.

yeah, cause of all the yuppie focus owners, where I live like 1 in 6 cars is some model of ford focus.

Escorts arent bad though, i used to have one till it rusted out underneath. they are very reliable and get about 34 mpg. My mom has had one for 16 years and it still runs great and starts up fine every spring, no major problems at all.

You don't have to come on this site and defend hondas and say you love them, lol. Half the members here don't even have hondas. We welcome all members that are willing to contribute.

Nope. Like others have said, they are doing pretty well right now.

No I'm actually looking for a civic dual core radiator. I'm looking to continue to make my engine bay empty. And a the rad I'm looking foor will fit in front of where the stock one is so more room by the header. If that makes sense.

haha ya I'm not a fan of the focus' at all. . . Except I do like the focus svt motor and the mtx-75 6 speed tranny. lol. The zx2's do get great mpg tho. I usually get on average about 28/31 mpg.

haha oh I know. I just figured I'd come off on a safe side. Idk how much I can contribute tho since I don't know a whole bunch about civics. . .

Civics are the same as other cars, they have an engine, a body, and wheels. (and a couple other things)

That makes sense. Honestly, what I would buy is one of those CXRacing radiators on eBay. I've had one for a month or two now, no problems with it at all. They're a pretty good value radiator.
