I actually like the Civic over the DC5, I feel the proportions of the DC5 are just skewed in the wrong direction - the Civic has a nice low flat looking stance and I bet it would look real awesome slammed even further on some sweet JDM wheels, but from the sounds of it that would mess with the finely tuned standard suspension and wheel package which already comes on them.

Might be a car to have in 10 years time when no doubt they get cheaper to stash away for decades to come - a probable future classic.


give it 3 years and you will be able to get them for probably 17-20k, just like EP3 CTR's now.

An NSX for sure, or an S2000. But not one of the 2.2 litre ones. They lost a bit of their pazzaz compared to the F20C.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

S2000's like Mr2's are like a drug for me.... Im sure I would enjoy it, but im equally sure they would kill me eventually.

You know what they say: That which kills you only makes you stronger.


Oh wait... Is that how it goes? Uhh...
