Hey not bad. Little bit ricey but ohh well. Looks pretty good except for the two exhaust holes at the bak with only one exhaust. At least you don't have the attitude of a ricer and at least the car is pretty powerful (3 more HP than a BMW M3!) .

Lets see some more pics if you can ever get hold of a digital camera.

At least to me, your signature sounds pretty ironic

Anyway, nobody can argue with that amount of power. Care to take the ownership challenge?

Be resonable Egg Nog he hasn't got any stickers on it, and as he says its hard to keep a Civic looking unricey. Just please don't put Altezza lights on it or a Aluminum wing thingy, or as a matter of fact any big wing, keep it reasonably subtle.

There is a certain thing I like to call the "performance to looks modification (ricing) ratio" for every bit of visual modification there should be a decent performance upgrade...

And I think this car obeys this ratio..

yea, the bodykit is only there because the massive (massive for a civic) intercooler would not fit in the standard bar and the rest is there because it looked odd with no side or rear bodykit.

and i HATE those big aluminium wings on civics, they look good on SOME cars

Well that makes sense I suppose, I agree with you cars do look rather untidy with only the front bodykitted..

Do you plan to do any other mods to it soon?

Personally I think you should carry out other modifications before getting NOS. I just think its a bit pointless unless you are a real hard core drag racer.

I think saying something like "i've got 400hp in my car" would make much the same impact

it's very borderline ricey in my opinion. one part of me says that it has 346hp. the other part says CIVIC. you did good with this one, though

Personally I'd go for a more subtle bodykit, but aside from that it's a nice, subtle, relatively clean-looking Civic. The fact that it has more than enough go to back up the show takes down the rice factor significantly. When compared to modded Civics as a whole, this one looks even more subtle. No pointless stickers, no wannabe BMW Z3 gills in the fenders, no great big wing, great looking, non-tacky rims, all in all a nice car.
