Guest HBK16 Report post Posted October 3, 2002 Ok heres the deal. I just got a nice black 1992 Honda Civic. 4 door, tinted windows. I got a couple of hundred dollars to do whatever I want mainly because it's my money and my parents dont give a shit. I was thinking of putting in a nice system. I love music and whats better than blasting it while driving my girlfriend to the movies and parties? What do you guys recommend and where to buy it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 3, 2002 How about "throw it away?" MUSTANGS, BAYBEE~! Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HBK16 Report post Posted October 3, 2002 Yeah Mustangs are nice but my older brother already has a Mustang and I drive it too so I wanted something diferent. The Civic was a good choice IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 3, 2002 Civic is just fine. Get some speakers for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Camel Report post Posted October 3, 2002 I'm sorry. Not post whoring, but I really, really am sorry. Get a cd player and speakers, you'll get the most use/enjoyment out of them, Besides, the entire ricer look makes people look like complete morons with Pep Boys gift certificates. The Fast and the Furious was not a template for modifying vehicles. The Civic is a gas economic entry level car, nothing that should be considered a "sports car." A Corvette is a sports car, the Mustang and now defunct Camaro/Firebird/Challenger are pony cars, and the Chevelle/GTO/Skylark/442/Fairlain/Torino/Cyclone/Charger/Duster/'Cuda were muscle cars. Nearly everything from the Jappanese manufacturers are daily drivers/low gas boxes, and the only fast/respectable cars they built were the twin turbo variants (Supra/300ZX/RX-7/VR-4 300GT) and the S2000. And definitely never, ever get some damned bumble bee light up fart pipe for your car. Or the tips that angle upwards. Save your couple hundred bucks, get a pimp shirt, take your girl to a nice eatery, and break in that back seat. Camel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DrTom Report post Posted October 3, 2002 Trade it in for a Maxima. Seriously, go for the system, but also invest in a car alarm. The more you trick it out, the more people will want to take your shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 3, 2002 And DrTom shows some shades of GHETTO~! Sorry about the random anger earlier. For some reason, since I got a Mustang today, I really dislike Camaros and all Import Tuners. Camel's post made me DIE laughing. Mine isn't anything to boast about yet, but that's because my friend(who owns a '94 Cobra SVT) and I haven't really gotten to work on it yet. But once it's done, SWANKNESS~! will reign supreme. (looks lovingly at his new Mustang keychain) For anyone curious, it's an '84 convertible. I already know of a guy who is willing to swap his V8 for my V6 for some odd reason. I think the reason was that he doesn't drive his 80s model anymore. It's weird though, somehow owning one of these things has warped my mind. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge EDIT: I say get the system. That way, you can make that Civic as awesome as possible, with the POWER OF DIGWEED~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted October 3, 2002 Like everybody else is saying, go with the sound system. Hearing good music clearly at a good volume is paramount to almost anything, unless it's tuning the engine. But, if you put a freakin' fart muffler on it, I am so coming to wherever you are and kicking your ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 3, 2002 Let's organize a Carolina Posse and push people around. Sound good? We can use BLACK MANTA~! as our group car, assuming I can fit all of us in the Mustang. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 3, 2002 Well, I couldn't think of a name for the car when I finish with it and it's black with a grey interior. Right now it's the Psychadelic Trip-a-thon because my friend and I are sanding it down and it looks like all the colors of the layers of paint. He's got a black one too, but he calls his KITT II for no reason other than it being dangerously fast and having a DVD player screen in it. And we were making fun of the old SuperFriends show the other day, so it just came to me. Why not Black Manta? Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Whatever you do...don't get euro lights or a big ass wing. The euro tail lights are so fucking "played out". If you want nice looking tail lights get the red and white ones like on the Civic SI's. Civic Si tail lights Those big ass tall wings look so fucking stupid. Just get a nice low profile stock looking rear spoiler. If you go for a body kit don't go too extreme. Keep the car clean and simple looking. Remember one thing...if you don't have the motor don't make your car look like a race car. And i'm not honda bashing there, because i know you can build a good motor for a honda. I'm just saying that unless you have put a good engine in it don't make it look like a race car. That goes for Camaro and Mustang owners who dress up the V6 models to look racey without any work on the motor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Hey now, I'm going to make mine look racey, all the while saving up for a TURBOCHARGER~!, so back off. I don't see me having it for six months at least, but no one will notice, since I don't dare race anyone until then except maybe some Rice Boy punk insulting my Kylie blasting from the speakers in the back. Like I said, some guy is willing to swap his V8 for some reason with me for no reason other than he doesn't drive the car the V8 is in, so I may be able to get those spiffy GT emblems after all!

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Problem? An 84 convertible for $950 and you say there's a PROBLEM? Don't talk about BLACK MANTA~! that way. Besides, it NEEDS some semblance of a spoiler on the back, it looks bare without one, you know how those 80s Mustangs look. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 4, 2002 noooo, no problem...none at all :looks around: Besides, you didn't say it was a old one that you got for cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 It looks like there's a problem now, but trust me, my friend(who is working on it with me, since he knows Mustangs since 1979 almost inside-out) has a digital camera, and we're taking before, during, and after pictures. I'll post them on here when it's all over, or on Sunday night, which is when I expect us to be done with the painting and stuff. This car will be SWANK~!

Guest El Psycho Diablo Report post Posted October 4, 2002 El Satanico's right. I'm not an import expert..but my brother eats, sleeps, and breathes cars..imports especially..so I know a little. The good thing about Civics are the fact that when you have enough cash, you can VERY easily swap your current engine for one of the bigger ones. That said, I'd kill for a Civic Type R. Damn companies and not wanting to import things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 What's the biggest engine you can get into a Civic, anyway? Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Psycho Diablo Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Don't take my word as law..but if I can get Wuken Bloodstar around, he knows. I know some people have managed to fit a Prelude (the H22 IIRC) engine in there, but it's tricky. Or, there's a handy swap guide. http://www.jdm1.com/SwapGuide.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest gthureson Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Shows what some people know. The most unassuming little car can kick all kinds of ass, and people may never know about it. However, putting dual four inch exhaust, huge-ass wings and neon glow lights will not make your car go faster. It'll just make you look like a jackass. If you want your unassuming little car to kick ass, save your dollars, put a supercharger and a nitrous kit in it, and it will actually go faster. Otherwise, keep it stock and under warranty and just put a sound system in that sounds good, not one that requires you to give up all your trunk and back seat space just to have speakers that play nothing but bass.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 (applauds DrTom) Like I said, I plan on getting a TURBOCHARGER~!, but no nitrous for me, thank you. I'm not that crazy about making my car go fast as to endanger myself. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Well according to that site, it sounds like a bitch to fit a V6 in there. So since it's such a job a guess 4 is as big as you'd normally go. Eventhough it's 4 cylinder you can get more power out of them then you'd imagine if you have the right engine. However, the problem is that it can get expensive. I'm sure it's alot cheaper to build a V8 into a good motor. But, i'd think you'd get more satisfaction out of building a 400(and up) horsepower engine out of a 4 cylinder then to do it on a V8 where it's alot easier. The idiots with stickers, 5 inch mufflers and giant wings without an engine make the real import guys look bad. While those idiots do exist, you shouldn't just write off all those "little cars".

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 5, 2002 I dunno, after I spiffify my car as much as I want to in the next ten months or so, I'll probably be able to discount these import fellas pretty easily. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted October 5, 2002 I discount the import fellas and Mustang owners alike. It's a close race against a stock Mustang, but I do beat it. The Shelby version is out of my league, though, as it is for a lot of cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
