Why Honda nuthuggers are idiots...

Civic Si + exhuast + rice accessories by Mugen = 33k?!?!?!?!

I can think of a LOT better things to buy for 33k, and none of them say "vtec" on the valve cover. If you spend the money for this you deserve all the razzing you get.

Wow... that is

**SV1000s** · 11-20-2007, 04:13 PM

wow...for the price I'd opt for the Acura TL ANY day of the week!

thats ridiculous....33k and you could have a termy with some mods

You know the sad part?

Another dealership in a richer area of philly has one for 35k. Its an area so weathly that daddy will buy it for little junior because "he likes it" even though its 35k.

These are the same kids who will then pull up to the 100 octane pump at the sunoco off 202 and pay $8.16 (yes, you read that right) a gallon for "race fuel, y0!"

MSRP on them are closer to 30K I believe.

Either way it is still ridiculously overpriced. The sad thing is that people are buying them. They seem to like to pay the extra money over the base price for an SI because of the limited availbility of the car. All the car is is a SI sedan with different wheels, suspension, exhaust, body kit and a shift knob.

So many other cars I would buy for 30K + the dealer mark up they're charging for the Mugen.

To each there own I guess.

sorry i hate honda's.

i can't give them any respect. i ran 2 turbo honda's this summer in Belle Vernon with my weak ass 230rwhp procharged 3.8.

both were running TDO5H's a hatch at 9psi that i took by 3 and he got a good jump and a coupe that i got by 6 running 7psi. i weigh almost 1000lbs more than the hatch too. both had Vtec's in them not sure which engine but damn you would think with that money spent they would be alot faster

**2001GTTT** · 11-30-2007, 01:32 AM

thats because you have the idiots who cannot drive....if they had what you say they had they shouldve had you....lol....either way they are still pieces of crap.

**White5.0** · 11-30-2007, 01:43 AM

Comon guys! you get a whopping 139 lb-ft of torque! who wouldnt pay for that!

.....^I have never been more kidding in my life^ haha, very ghey car in my opinion. I cant wait to hear all the ricers talk about how reliable they are or how "good" they handle. that is what always gets brought up when the jap cars are proven slow and the honda fanboys wont admit it

**2001GTTT** · 11-30-2007, 02:00 AM

And they are right. They will run forever. You can beat them to redline every shift, every single day and not hurt them. I worked for a Honda Stealership as a service tech many years ago. We had a customer who was a regular. She had an '89 LXi coupe 5-speed. It had 475,000 miles on the clock. Still clicking like it was new. American Honda Motors wanted the car and offered her a band new V6 accord EX as an even trade. She would not do it. Cant beat Honda quality. Sorry.

A buddy of mine had an '88 civic lx. He bought it about '91 or '92 and it had 80,000 miles on it. On or about 1995/6 we were coming back from mountain biking at Hidden Valley one day. It was a 5-speed. Coming down 31 going downhill in 5th, it had no power whatsoever. He is kind of a gearhead?

and he's like "WTF, dude, no powa". We make it to the Country Pie Shoppe in Donegal. He pulls over and I'm yelling, "Don't shut it off, don't shut it off!" He shuts it off. We get out, open the hood, pull the dipstick. It's dry as a bone and smoke comes out the dipstick hole. I said, "Dude, you're 4ucked. That engine just twisted into a potato chip when you shut it off." He kept bitching about the low oil light not coming on.

We got in, started it up, drove it five more miles to the gas station at the TP entrance, dumped 4.5 quarts of oil in it and it never missed a beat. I chit you NOT. It had about 130,000 miles at the time. He drove it for another year and 10,000 more miles and traded it in on a '96 EX, but only because he was afraid of it. He eventually sold the '96 EX to his old man who drove from Uniontown to Cranberry for work... it just blew up a few months ago with 300,xxx on it.

Reliable? Yes. Fast? No.
