not gonna lie, my first car was a civic. i loved it tho and i would definitely get another down the road if i ever had enough money to own more than one money pit. most of the mod's i did were just for looks, it had a lil single overhead cam motor and i knew i wouldnt get a swap. it didnt sound like crap either, just a flowmaster axleback muffler. at first i made it ricey w/carbon taillights, halo headlights, streetglow and what not then i backed off that n started leanin towards a cleaner look. plus i added stuff to make it handle better for autox. (btw the tint came on the car, i would never have put that on my self.) here are some pics:

I had an 86 CRX Si. I will try to find a pic and scan it in. That thing was badass with a 4" sebring muffler and tip, black with black interior, no ac, sunroof, and busted driver's seat back. But it had a japanese market used tranny in it. Was a blast, but with 172K miles, it was in rough shape from commuting 5 hours a day.

No pics of the Si CRX. :(
At the time I owned it, my sister had a 93 civic coupe and my dad a 95 civic coup si. Every car my suster has ever had has been a Honda. She totalled her coupe, bought my dad's. Then she got a CRV, and now a soccer mom mobile Odyssey.

Sorry bro, I should rephrase that, civics with chrome rims and double deck wings. I did beat my friends 02 Si though.

I've got a Honda CRX, and I love it. I'm starting to move towards Nissan, but I'm when I finally get some money I'm going to come back and get a NSX. Overpriced, underpowered, but my car.

That is both very odd and interesting at the same time. Border line gaudy, borderline beautiful.

i have a 99 civic si. its built for scca road race. too many mods to list tons of suspension and drivetrain work. mostly stock internals with engine managment from spoon sports. would probably run low-mid 14s in a straight line but makes up for that racing through the turns.
before that i had a prelude and 2 other civics before that.
actually my new ms3 is my first non-honda

You still have the civic? Im trying to build a 90 integra w/ a J-spec GSR motor swap for scca/nasa. Before this I had a built Ls/Vtec modded out w/ 100 shot of nitrous in it. It ran mid 12's spinning more than half the track. I could never get traction w/ it being so lite.
