The history of the Honda Civic goes without saying. Its a gas saver, parts are inexpensive, labor and service is easy, resale value is still high, and its CHEAP!!! That right there is the selling point to the civic. Now instead of wanting to know why and how its popular to the everyday average Joe and Jane lets jump to the point of it being a performance giant. Do not get me wrong, i am a huge Nissan and Toyota fan, but i have to give credit where its due.
The Honda Civic is very easy to tune and modify without any restriction of age or chassis classification. Any generation of Civic is sought after for either Car Shows, Track, or just the everyday driver. From Body kits to Performance parts, even engines are easily accessible to the everyday tuner depending on what your looking for. Sad to say that for every 2JZ motor or Sr20det is bought, three high performance Honda motors are bought. ITS A FACT. The money spent for one engine can buy two for your Honda. Did i already mention the parts are cheap. What is more fascinating and frustrating at the same time is the third party aftermarket production of parts for the Civic outweighs the general parts for any other make and model car out there. More performance, suspension, computers, everything down to air fresheners are clearly high in number for Hondas, rivaling Volkswagen's aftermarket prowless. The never ending combination of engine parts between one another in the Honda library is also mind blowing, because they are interchangeable. What you need in your Civic you can take from an Integra, ( the American subsidiary to Honda ) and install in your car its that easy. Even the parts from other Hondas such as the Prelude, Accord, S2000,and Passport ( before the Pilot ) can be used on your Civic. The Tuning Capabilities are astounding from Naturally aspirated to Force Induction, with horsepower numbers reaching beyond 500hp and more. All from a small four cylinder engine. Its crazy in know, and its all that bang for your buck.
From the other side of the fence its considered cheating and playing dirty. Some thinks its a conspiracy to help Honda destroy the competition. Lets get real here!!! To me its still all about the driver, never the car remember that. If you built it, and you can drive it, you can win. If you spend all that money and don't know how to drive the car, you wasted your money and the mechanics' time. This blog is not saying that because of the essential backing that some companies are providing for this little car that it is unbeatable, NO!! I'm making it far apparent to everyone why this car is popular to the tuner world. They are easy to come by, you can pick them up ( literally ) for dirt cheap, you can work on it yourself in your garage, that's how easy it is. Now would i buy one? NO... because i want to venture more with other cars, but it would be exciting to build a 4 cylinder again and run 9s at the local track and show it off to my friends on how fast it is. And to make a long story short it THE perfect beginners car to start with.
The Honda Civic bottom line is a popular figure in the Automotive community, with its love/hate comparison, it lives up to its test of time legend and will continue to impress, innovate, and inspire young and old drivers alike.
The Road is yours......
