Default Well, I Bought a Honda

Suprisingly, I went back to honda and stepped away from the porsche. From excellent handling sports car to underpowered, understeering anf FWD econobox. The culprit 93 Civic Hatch, like my old one this one needs a little work and that little 1.5L 70 hp beast of an engine needs to come out.

I won't even bother with the pictures because I'm sure you guys don't want to see them.

OK, I guess I missed some post about it being stolen or buried in some sort of natural catastrophe?

Sorry to hear about your loss...............

It was stolen.

Yea, I wish I still had it, there's no way to even compare the honduh to it. But maybe good things can come out of it.

I was behind a kid with a del-sol on the dyno on Sat. It was a turbo with 16 valve swap - very nice looking stainles exhaust headers. 270 rwhp with ridiculous afr that they couldn't flatten with the piggyback.

That's two stolen in just under a year from the NY metro area. Did I start a trend?

How much are they offering you? Details?

I wouldn't think our cars would be worth stealing. But then, they probably just see the badge and assume it's a $50k car. On the bright side, though, the joke is on them when they try and part it out...

It's only worth what?

I don't like the s2k, revving to 8k for normal street driving isn't my idea of fun. My last civic wasn't bad it dynoed at 253 whp at around 6700.

I'm stil waiting for just there offer on the car.
