its still a civic... i think you would get better respones from a non nissan/honda site i say dont get either get a nice n14 jap spec they look nicer and are better

[LBR33]

Your asking this question on a Skyline site ahahahahaha

[nismo33]

Seriously dude.... I own a done up civic..up till now, i let my girlfriend drive it around..i have spent alot of time and money on this civic to the point that it matched up the price of my Skyline...bought my skyline 4 months after i got the civic...not really planning on getting another car...but i saw this silver one on the street and i was like.." mamamia" and it's for sale...just thought maybe i take it for a test drive..so i did...and after that...i took her home 5 days later.

here's what you can do ---> take a skyline for a spin and you'd know what i mean.

if you're thinking of buying a civic and do things up yourself...i suggest get a skyline..you can do alot with a Skyline without being rice.

Skyline eat rice.

leech_: yer i'll go ask on a ford or holden website see what they say LOL

nismo33: i doubt i'd be able to do it up straight away apart from a sound system and be having it stock for awhile til i get some more $$$ and your skyline is an R33 course i take that over a civic anyday! hahaha

[Viscount]

Go the R32. Civics are a dime a dozen.

[BarnyR32]

Hold out for afew more weeks, save up another 5 g's and get a r32 gtst.

Buy the civic if you want to run good mid 20sec passes down the 1/4 ,mile hahahaha

[typevu]

lol insurance too much with turbo ]= and only got around 10.5k max to buy a car, if i had another 5k i can buy R33 ahahahahaha + i don't work so it'd take me yonkers to get $$$ haha

[BarnyR32]

Not really man, im 22 with 0% no claim bonus and Famous Classic Car Insurance quoted me $2200 for my r32 gtst, which i think is dirt cheap for this vehicle...

If you do end up getting a civic *shakes head* then it better be a vtec model...they sound sweeeeet with a rampod when the vtec kicks in about 5tho rpm

and if you dont get that then your just silly haha

[G0DF4Th3R]

an EK at $10k wouldnt be a Vtec engine

though if its between a NON-TURBO skyline and a VTEC civic, id buy the civic for sure.. lots of quick ones around and if its your first car, Honda reliability is important

[Cubes]

lol.

Have you pricde up insurance for a civic, skyline gts and gtst?

The difference may not be as much as you expect.

I price up SS commodores and Fords of similiar price being more expensive to insure than my GTST.

[Intensevil]

ca18det silvia + 3rd party fire theft

[typevu]

if your insurance be $2200 mine be like through the roof! haha i'm more into a car with looks for now then when i get my full license i'd get a car for speed. if i don't get a civic now i'll get the R32 in december for sure, just in time for summer holiday too! be like cruising everyday! ahahaha

[Cubes]

I pay $960 p.a full comp rating 1, market value $15,500.

There's two types of people.

Rev heads and non-rev heads.

The rev heads when on a budget will buy a car that has potential to be its quickest.

The non rev heads are the pretty boys who like to make an impression.

As you get more money these merge.

i.e... I bought an ugly TE cortina back when I was 16.5, slapped on a holly mild cam and 2.5" exhaust. Thing went like the clappers.

5 gearbox's and 1 diff later.

It went hard and used to have no problems pulling away from what then was a sicko VN V8 commodore as did it have no problems leaving my mates RX7 Series III 13B N/A.

Good fun car that was. Loads of low down torque. Peak power was made at just before 5000rpm. Slightly loopy idle.

Its your first car.. Get some thing that hauls arse.

These days you should be able to pick up a cheapish V8 of some sort. Drop a cam in to it and get it going hard.

[BarnyR32]

ohh what you trying to say?

skylines are ugly?!?!?!?!?!?

BOYS LETS GET HIM!

haha

[Terreto]

I gotta disagree, Rev-heads and non rev-heads both equally want to make an impression, just in different ways, every person has a desire to be noticed and appreciated by others, so if you're a rev-head you just want it in a different way, but it's all the same thing, doesn't make you any better.

Personally out of the two options, well I think r32's are a little long in the tooth and don't exactly look too modern nowdays. I mean they looks late 80's.

On the other hand, a civic is a shitty little hatchback that does at least look relatively current model-ish but on the other hand looks stoopid all done up with some giant exhaust on the back. I mean it's not a sportscar, it's not a Type-r hot hatch so why bother making it something it's not.

I'd save up for an r33 a bit more probably.

[Kaido_RR]

Question if it is a V-TEC EG6, then buy it

[Guilty]

what about save another 2k ish? n u can get a nice 89 180sx?

or an s13?

they are a lot quicker then the civic and the NA r32 and is better in looks...

[Kaido_RR]

Why does everyone think civic are slow?

a eg6 vtec will be far from slow trust me

[Guilty]

Well no one said its slow, but can a civic keep up with a skyline or a silvia?

If it cant, then its simply SLOWER than a skyline/silvia which is what we mean rather then civic is actually a slow car. But then again what do you define as "far from slow"?
