umm i definatly wouldn't call a 240 hp k series ricey. yeha the body kit is a bit much, but its mugen and its wind-tunnel proven to improve areodynamcis.

rice is a stupid aluminum wing.
this is a finely tuned machine.

ORIGINAL: SovXietday

Looks more and more like an EVO...

I think it looks ok, but I definitely won't be the one to purchase this.
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the first pic...

I say just buy a new SI and tune it yourself with the money you save...should get to 240 hp easily...

you guys are hilarious.

domestic ownerz say the exact same thing about civic Sis, WRXs and any other japanese sports car/coupe: overpriced.

they then say "i'll stick with my mustang, or whatever, and just mod it and whup the chit out of any little jap ricer mobile."

it's called "different strokes for different folks." nobody's gonna put a gun to your head and say buy this car. if you want a car, buy it. If you don't, then don't.

I remember when everybody thought $20,000+ for an integra type R back in the 90s was rediculous too...

I think I see Honda trying to move the Civic into more of a upscale model. They are planing to add another small car to the market in the U.S. from what some have told me that does not look like a mini suv(Fit). I honestly see the Civic look more and more like the Accord and the Accord look more and more like the TSX. I know when Honda will stop being stupid and offer the Accord with a SH-AWD setup like the higher end Acuras it will be a killer car. The new Accord V6 coupe is ****ing bad *** looking.

WOW, it uses what little power its got VERY effectively. It must have a really solid suspension package! Thanks for those stats phoenix!
