[LongGrain]

there are things i would change..

[KA240SX808]

I would take off the OF's, get different wheels and probably change the color...

Other then that it's a pretty clean Civic

[Flicktitty]

i geuss it's what you could say is "Nice Rice"

it ALL looks quality parts, but it's not for me.

[txrxs]

it's cute.

[shmiddy]

i dont know what to pick... its not to rice but i hate the head lights!

[azndoc]

I like the wheel fitment.

That's about it.

[nismo tuned s14]

Quality parts. Nothing outrageous. Not riced in my opinion. I would have done it different, of course, along with everyone else in the world.

damn dude, the wheels are like the best part.

[ThatGuy]

I should re-edit the Poll and add "Pikachu" as the third option. :ddog:

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

Well it is a Honda... :coold:

[VROOOM]

nothin wrong with it that i see. quality parts, is finished, not primered. yeah its nicer than half the cars on this site.

[Xbroke_kidX]

Fender flares and wheels are win.
Honda is fail though.
I guess its alright for what it is.

[datboibrad]

car doesn't flow at all. aggressive in some areas and sleek/streamline in others. quality parts with horrible execution.

[enkei2k]

I should re-edit the Poll and add "Pikachu" as the third option. :ddog:

totally! i kinda dig it...it's something i don't mind rolling in...just gotta change the color for sure. yellow is too bright for me.

[DMaxUSA]

If I saw this guy actually putting his wide wheels/tire to good use on the track, and was turning corners at fast speeds, then I would say "NICE! Good job!"

If he just built the car around the wheels, and only showed it off at car shows, then I would say "Kinda ricey, but lets see how fast you can turn a corner!"

[allntrlundrgrnd]

eh, not really my style. not rice. i dont like the front bumper

and i hate pee colored cars

[K_style]

This is cute car...

Fender flares and wheels are win win win

[S14TEENZ]

hard to say...........it has ups and downs

[qt_240]

I like the wheel fitment.

That's about it.

+1, yellow works for me to0

[nismo racer]

its pretty dope, as other stated there are things i would change but its pretty down.

[MisawaJason]

hard to say...........it has ups and downs

Same way I'm feeling about it.

Those things remind me of honda fits. Like it's retarded cousin or something

[jim shu]

borderline

[Drift_Bee_69]

Its an ok car... would get ride of som things... especially the paint color. But other than that. It's an ok car.

[YoungGun]

This car is rice.

:rofl:

I still dont get the staggard wheel setup on fwd cars... a lot of VeeDubs do it too

[Flicktitty]

:rofl:

i just don't get Vdub guys....

the rusty/beat look/streched wide staggard fwd shit....idk

[Z_Spool]

Yeah, after taking it all in the rice just slightly out-weighs the nice. Definitely close though.

[mr.booie]

its not rice. ITS TOFU!

[allntrlundrgrnd]

Same way I'm feeling about it.

Those things remind me of honda fits. Like it's retarded cousin or something

ep3's were produced before fits.


anyone who says its rice please post pics of your pile of shit please

[hassanbakar123]

don't really like anything on it
hate the over fenders.
hate the headlights...
but it's not rice.

[lost240soul]

i know the owner of this car.. he's a cool dude.. its kinda over done, its like the 5th time this car has re built.. there whole car club is like that really crazy built cars..I say its Nice Rice

[soreballz]

Nice rice. I can't figure out what the difference is, but it looks different from the last time I saw that car in person.

[JDMFLCL]

damn dude, the wheels are like the best part.

polished professors > *

your just crazy :)

[The Chad]

I don't mind the car, only b/c my old roomie had one of those. Civic Si with cleaner mods than that Yellow One. His is White and the Aero Kit my roomie chose has softer lines and rounder bumper.

I do see the Pekachu in this car though...I call my roomie's Civic a Marshmallow Rocket ship :) (turbo'd K24). Why is it that this model Si and the FiT look like abstract animals??!! :) I see puffer fish, japanese anime...etc.

[The Chad]

Oh and my roomate also told me that carbon hoods on that car were pointless due to the stock on being made of aluminum...meaning zero weight saving. (according to him)

[DreamN]

i've seen this car in person and it gives the illusion that it sits low because of the overfenders. thing rides at nearly oem height from what i remember. i don't like the lights, the kit, or the overfenders, and the wheel fitment just doesn't make sense on a fwd car. it's rice, but at least it's not overdone to the point where it's offensive.

i prefer clean subtle looks.

[J240sxxx]

some one was trying to hard.. some of it is too much..

[soreballz]

lol, the last time I saw it, he had to leave the parking lot BACKWARDS and sideways to avoid tearing the bumper off. It was low low.

In fact, much lower than it is in the OP's pic.

[DeadlyZ33]

I voted rice mostly because of the skunk2 sticker on the windshield.

[superbike81]

The wheels are nice, but they don't belong on a Civic, neither do huge overfenders.

RICE......because isn't the definition of "rice" doing something completely un-functional to your car?

[pete_07]

just dont like the head lights

[Teddy]

I think it's dope.

[ItsToo]

I just feel like its too much. Front end looks pretty aggressive, which is not bad by all means, but it just doesn't feel right. i dont like the flares on it neither. The yellow does stand out though. It prolly looks better in person though

[Future240]

It's a bit on the eccentric side but not rice

[EDacIouSX]

shits fkign rice look at the bottom of the front bumper

[ROUGE180]

Not rice. Could be a little more reserved (imo) but all in all it's clean. It's no where in the protruder-vadotron-xwing kit catagory that would make it rice.

[J40sx]

seen this car in person
at an autobacs meet/event in Stanton California

its not rice
you can loose the over fenders
yellow is not my choice of color, but i guess it works on Honda's
the headlights gotta go

[aNskY]

depends

lets see under the hood

if it's still on the 118hp or whatever those things have

its definately rice

[inactive_240sx]

its sticky rice! [^_^]

[scoobyjoe]

it's not rice just a pretty well put honda who's not rockin cheap shit. I mean the wheels a pimp not rotas like all the other hondas. It's nice not rice.

[wgJoY]

wayyy too aggresive for my style. but then again thats just my personal preference. I think its kinda over done.. but that wouldnt make it rice would it?

this isnt rice. There's too much money into that car to make it rice lol

edit: i dont think its nice rice either. I think its just someone who's maybe seen Fast and the Furious just a little too many times.

[RedStage]

there are far worse cars out there.
I like it, which is a huge compliment because I hate Hondas.....

[jspeedm]

I say it's ok. You don't have to like the car to appreciate the quality of parts and work that went into it.

[PoorMans180SX]

I bet it has horrible torque steer.

But it's decent.

[andisan]

The only thing I see riced is the headlights go with the jdm spec ones and youll be back in buisness, and maybe change the color.
Its clean and finished

[CAP'NZenki]

i want to see a backshot...i feel like itd look like a car with training wheels haha but that white crx in the background is hot

[Mister.E]

im not a huge fan of it, but it would look a hell of a lot better if it wasnt yellow. i really hate yellow as a car color....hell i hate yellow as a color in general

[waynehead05]

It's not rice... but I'd want to lick it if I saw it. It's freakin screaming that thing is so loud in taste. Anyone else know what I'm saying?

[wizDUMB]

i know the owner of that car, really nice guy and those headlights are JDM spec, they are the Civic Type R headlights
and for those that commented on him tracking the car, as soon as his roll cage is finish being fabricated into the car he will be tracking
it was boosting at one point then he did a motor swap and it's his daily driven car
nice car all around and yeah, he should of stuck with the candy red he had before

It's HELLA rice what you talking about?
1. Its YELLOW Honda w/ body kit i mean huge body kit.
2. CF hood! the car is FF so taking out the weight on the front is stupid.
3. I bet this car running 17.

If you pay attention to the other Hondas in the background, you know what im talking about, the S2k, the hatch next to it, the white crx and the black S2k, just only this one rice out w/ huge body kit. HONDA IS NOT MEANT TO GO HAVE BODYKIT. they only go w/ JDM oem aero.

Wait wait wait, my car is RWD, does that mean I shouldn't take the interior out of my track car?!?! Should I leave my spare tire back there?!?!

:keke: :keke: :keke:

Seriously man, listen to what you're saying.

[vodka2]

Pika pika!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pikachuuu!

You're a fucking idiot.

[Witness]

:rofl:

I still dont get the staggard wheel setup on fwd cars... a lot of VeeDubs do it too

So hes running 9.5in wide tires the front and 8.5 in the back? haha

i say rice body kit is a bit crazy, those hood pins are retarded remind me of fire extinguisher pins, window visors are lame.

[VROOOM]

the body kit is Mugen. not really rice if you ask me.

[wizDUMB]

his rims are 17x9 all around ... just staggard offsets

[irax]

Tell me what you think...

http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/1783/eibachmeet87il7.jpg

this car was in import tuner a while back, it is a clean ride.

it is a very nice and well built car "on a student budget" what kind of fucking student could afford to build a car like that and pay for his or her own tuition i dont know. or is selling drugs....

i wouldn't call it rice, needs like a retarded non factory color. rims that are tooooo huge, 3000LBS of fiber glass on the inside, NoS tanks that are really subs! an interfooler, lambo doors, shaved handles, and an extra wing on top for me to call it rice.


if you call that civic rice, then 99% of all the 'popular' drifters on this forum drift rice cars.

The only thing I see riced is the headlights go with the jdm spec ones and youll be back in buisness, and maybe change the color.
Its clean and finished

LOL THOSE ARE THE JDM ONES! what the fuck ARE you talking about?

[MugenHonda]

That's an authentic Mugen front lip. The color is
so obnoxious. This car would be quite sexy if it were
black (to hide the weird lines of the car a bit).
Can anyone photoshop this thing to black?

[stiizy]

I had an EP3 carbon hood mugen lip R skirts and rear...

Only thing rice on this car is the staggered wheel setup

[510-SR20DET]

This thread made me feel like im in another version of Honda-Tech forum. GreAT job guys, way to go, lets add some body kit and then bashing on Honda guys!! YEAH!

[backwoods]

It's a little on the rice side...overfenders kill it

[Akiros]

I like it.
I'd like it ALOT more, however, if it were a dark blue or a dark red.

[Alpha Residence]

Staggered setup on a FF car makes no sense to me and looks terrible, the headlights make it look like a focus IMO and the grill bugs the piss out of me. Definitely not my style but props to the owner for a "complete" build. It beats all the riced out civics around my way with unpainted kits, altezza lights and fart can exhausts.

[Project "Rojo" s13]

i hate that front bumper otherwise flawless delivery more sporty than needed to be

[stiizy]

i hate that front bumper otherwise flawless delivery more sporty than needed to be

thats a JDM CTR bumper and Real Mugen lip...

Not rice at all...

Like saying a 180 bumper is rice?

[j4d3_h4v0k]

It's pretty nice I'd lose the over fenders and paint it a diff color but all in all as said b4 the skunk2 sticker totally ruins an otherwise pretty clean look and for thinner wheels in the back there's a time attack integra that was tearing shit up in japan that had smaller wheels in the rear. And as for the comments made about if a person thought its rice then half our community drifts rice in that persons eyes they do some people like kits and wings and wide fenders others like stock body lines and tasteful mods. With that said I not voting untill pikachu is an option!

[aNskY]

yep and yep

:naw:

[s14slidester]

ehhh i would just take the lights out oh and the grill looks like its sticking out way to much other than that it looks good

[kaotic]

The numbers from the poll is interesting... I personally think the car is shit.. The lip, over fenders and wheels clash with the body lines of the car..

heres a taste of what the car use to look like..

JDM Honda hard parking ricer.
1) OMG I'm a racer bucket seat
2) Unpadded, shiny blue Cusco cage
3) Gay ass rain visors he paid out his ass for
4) JDM fender blinkers

You run narrower wheels/ tires in the rear of an FF car to help the rear end rotate easier. Fuck.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

[s142jzkillav10]

body kit sucks .......

[zerke]

Pretty unnecessary, a hallmark of...RICE

[fl350]
