this thread is dumb-but I have to chime in.


anything can be built to be reliable, fast, both.

a lot of DSM'ers just slap shit on their car and call it a day--you do that to ANY car and it will quickly become very unreliable. I've had my car for 3 years and over that time I've put close to 55k miles on it. The biggest repair (outside of maintenance) to date was a water pump.

whoever mentioned crankwalk... read up kid

I've seen some pretty hacked up civics as well.

Do your research, spend your money/time wisely, and whatever you PREFER will end up being fast/reliable/both.

With that being said, I prefer DSMs over civics any day. I think a DSM (2g but 2gb especially) has an exotic kind of look to it when it has the right wheels/stance. IMO the body lines are just plain sexy. The whole car just flows. I really like the fact that you don't see a nice DSM too often

I can appreciate a nice looking civic, but I think they look average--a lot of cars can be thought to resemble a civic one way or another. To me, the nice, potential filled civics ended with the EK. The fact that you see 50 or more on any given day doesn't help either.











sorry for such a long post
