Why did I know before even looking at the photos on that auction that the dash/ console would be painted white :roll:

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Would at least look better if that bit wasn't so obviously tacked on. Doesn't suit the car at all. Changing the side profile like that could have been done a lot better.

I'm not sure any amount of kW could make up for the immense gayness of that civic.

Pretty sure thats a 'GirlSpeed' windscreen banner therefore 'gay' would mean 'lesbian'. Which is therefore, okay and a good thing.

I can kinda see what he was trying to do.

Would look better with a rear screen like this IMO

Not sure why someone would spend the money to have that done.. but each to their own I guess.
