Spotted 2002 Civic Si

Spotted the new Civic Si in person today I have to say it looks way better than I would've thought. Not half as Mini-vanish as I first anticipated. With a K20 engine swap to convert them to partial Type R status those things can really be something. That new shifter concept is still a hard one to understand though especially when you see it in person. Nice that is still has the Type R racing buckets though. Rims aren't much to look at but hey 16x6s are better than nothing. All in all not too bad.

New Si reminds me of the "Hump back of Notre Dome"

the 2002 si sucks. It is slower than the old si and does not handle well. Believe me, it is nothing special.

Also, the K20A engine swap would be impossible, are u talking about the engine swap from the civic type-r?

nice car

I'd say it's a nice car for what it is - I think the mere fact that people don't like Hondas and drive their Mitsus think any Honda made car sucks... Typical or whatever the reason why they sell so well and are so damn common is due to the fact that Honda makes good quality cars.

I personally just don't like american civics. I love Odysseys and Accords. I don't think anyone's actually dumb enough to dispute the Honda D and R or let alone complain about it.
