Yea with the NSX gone the S2000 is the new target for everyone to build civics to go beat. The NSX’s biggest advantage over every other S2000 or Type-R civic built was it had torque and could pull exiting a turn faster lol. Course if I had a choice between the newest fangled type-R civic and a S2000 you’d probably see me go with the S2000. Kind of tired of dealing with this FWD bullshit haha. Either that or their is a certain local F-body I keep waiting for the owner to sell to me :mullet: ---

i would never buy one lol but all i have to say is it is such a fun car to drive and it handles good, the interior has come a long way from the old civics, they put a kick ass motor under the hood and a smooth shifting tranny ---

I have an 02 si and i know what you mean about them feeling more mid range and not as chincy, like today i was going to try and pull a vent out and i started to pry at it and i just stopped and said this car is to nice to dick it up, so i just left it at that. if it had been like a 95 coupe i would have done it in a sec. my civic si unfortunatly had the bad luck to get the shit for an engine and transmition, granted its still nicer then a b-series but if honday put a decent engine in it, it would have been a better car but its still not bad. i also had a chance to drive my mothers 07 4door around a weekend ago and i was surprised how much i liked it the engines not all that bad in it it handeled well i juts dont like the look of it, i looooooove the coupe hate the sedan but whatever ---

I like what they’ve done with the new body style but the dashboard goes on for days it seems. the interior panels are still pretty cheap with disassembly. They’ve come a long way. ---

Actually, Fit = Crx Accord = TSX if anything. I japan there is no acura and the accord is pretty much a TSX with accord badging. ---

i just cant really look at it as a tuner car anymore. with the sedan it seems like a family car with a little more balls than your every day civic. i cant see myself building one and then taking it to the track. it doesnt seem like a car thats worth building and in my mind thats what a civic should be. the ultimate tuner car. the car that you can highly modify and never know its true limits. i just dont think its worth it. ---
