well, adding parts onto your car isn't just about getting horsepower, tho.

if you want a fast car, you should get something other than a Civic. You'll just be spending lots more on an import than you could have had with a stock 90-93 mustang. (sorry about the comparison, but it holds true)

To me, the import scene is kinda askew. People are worried about being the fastest, which a very, very, very select (ie, rich) few people are. There will always be someone faster, and thats that. Tuning is about something more. Tinkering with perfection? Adding some style? Who knows what it means to you, but thats what it means to me.

I dunno, I'm kinda content in being slow. But then again, I used to drive an Accord, too

Its all about style.

hope this flows right.
