I loved the whole package, bodywork and engine work was superb - a real one of a kind EK Civic Sedan for NZ!

H22a engine which gave that extra grunt

Miss this car soo much - as i put so much time, effort and money into it.. unfortunately cars move on... as do we.

Pros — Bodywork, complete look, sound, engine
Cons — engine was conversion and there were teething issues...

pros: great on gas, looks sharp as stock, enough power to get me there, its very rare that I have to worry about the engine, handles well, its a standard

cons: mine burns oil (not too sure it its just me or what) not enough pickup to impress the ladies,  as a standard 5th gear is strictly used on flat highways.

Pros — Gas mileage, reliability
Cons — Not enough power for showing off

My sisters car.  Well it still runs! That is Honda Quality
for you.  It has 110,000 miles and runs amazing.  Just
re-painted and detailed so it is a bit nicer.  No real
problems as of yet.  Great gas milage as well around
40 mpg.  Great car to run around in.

Pros — Great MPG
Cons — Styling, Interior comforts

I love my car. Ive always loved hondas. The most trustworthy car i couldve asked for. Right now im working on the performance of it. the cost to operate it is small, good on gas and not much maintenance to do on it. Its alot of fun to drive and will be more so when im done.

Pros — fun to drive, fun to work on
Cons — nothin bad. its a honda whats not to like!

Performance - Quite quick, got induction kit and
exhaust system.  brand new brake pads so brakes
are sharp and solid, handles very well.
Build Quality - Honda - Japanese cars are always
built solid.
Costs - Paid £1000 for it and it is very good on
petrol,  Â£20 has lasted me over a week before and
I
was driving every day.
Fun Factor - Love driving it, makes a nice sound
from the exhaust and the sub woofer in the back....


Pros — Good on petrol, looks good, qiute nippy and is so easy to customise
Cons — Sometimes scrapes on the back wheels when I go over bumps

Have had to replace door wiring harness because wires were broken. Window motors are never reliable, but it gets good gas milage and has over 180 on her.

Pros — Gas mileage
Cons — Little maintenance crap that kills your wallett

I'm kinda glad I grew out of this faze, but it was a fun car to drive around in at the time.  Plus I still think it looked bad ass in its prime.

Pros — Looked very sexy when I was done.
Cons — Wasn't the fastest of cars, but the SOHC vtec kept up for a sub 2 liter engine.

Handles like Honda's F1 car LOL j/k but close... many upgrades, runs strong, sounds fast... LOL

Pros — AEM intake, Tsudo exhaust, header, Maxzone struts, Neuseed springs, and front/rear strut bars.
Cons — Small rust spot on passenger side....
