I meant a worked up civic not a complete junk ricer. When they work on civics them things can fly pretty fast. Because they are light and if you dump enough money into anything u can make it fast!! But that was just me talking becuz I hate civics lol.

Good luck finding one of those. I go to school in one of the most Asian populated cities in California, Fart can here Fart can there, camber kits and spoilers, 2" ground clearance. It doesn't have to be fast if it looks "good" apparantly...

Buy a 2wd with a blown motor and put an ls1 in it. Find a factory 44 rear or put an 8.8 out back and rock it.. sideways
