I spent $3500 for a LHT swap to see a 14.6 in the quarter. ( nothing wrong with LHT they do great work )
A $50 boost controller on a DSM will equal that.
thats not 100% true, i do agree, civics are the perfect car for begining car enthusists. that doesnt mean there not fast, but i do agree most swapped civics are not fast to me, ive never owned any car faster then my 91 dsm with an evo III turbo upgrade, and i didnt think my dsm was fast, it doesnt compare to most real fast cars. but again i was younger, and less experienced and dumped money into the motor, and the car kept giving me problem after problem...
that was my falght and the car, it only had 80k miles but any engine that puts out some what high power isnt the most reliable, for the money dsm's are fast, reliable, i still dont think so.
again, my favorite model!
you can only have two of these three
low cost
reliabe
fast
hondas are cheap and reliable but not too fast (stock)
dsm's are fast and cheap but not too reliable (stock)
thats my opinion, someone that owned rwd, then fwd boosted, now fwd.
do i make any sense, someone let me know
