I dont know whether or not any of you read this or have the current issue but Im fed up with this damn magazine praising rice. It seems to be intended for people who know jack shit about performance. Let me quote:090afe0d4a one of the readers rides articles:
<insert pic of 6g coupe wrapped in vinyl on 17s with spoiler>
Jowel Vasquez set out to make his Civic stand out from the crowds of Hondas and Acuras withing the scene. In order to accomplish this Vasquez started with a GReddy exhaust system AEM cold air intake DC Sports four-into-one header and 8mm plug wires. Ive never seen a civic like that before
Next to it is this:

Dale Pollings Honda is an example of how hard work and hard core dedication pays off. This Civic sports a GReddy TD04 turbo with intercooler and blow-off valve AEM adjustable cam gear and underdrive pulleys as well as Hose Techniques sillicone hoses and 10mm Magneta plug wires. I dont have a turbo so I cant talk but this isnt exactly a warrior civic.
There is a 4 step nitrous install god I want to see someone try that.
12 pages are dedicated to pictures of wheels.
A rerun from a previos SCC was The Ultimate Honda Engine Swap Guide According to which a B20 swap into a 5g or 6g civic is well Level 1: The engine bolts in using stock Honda or Acura components with no modification to the car. This is so easy it might even be fun. Yeah ok. Are we forgetting that the intake manifold wont fit under the hood?
The next page reveals the engine in the 96-00 civic EX is the D16Z7. Hmm I guess my cars value just doubled as I have the non-existant D16Y8.
Hybrid How-to Finally a B18B1 swap into a 5g civic is explained in 7 pictures and 3 paragraphs.
In closing I leave you with a quote:090afe0d4a:
Im not really impressed with people who just hop up their motors and make their cars quick so you cant see em.
I will now step down off my soap box.
