I'm a big Civic fan. I've owned 88' hatch. Had to rock back and forth to get it to pass a semi on the highway but, the stereo bumped. Had a 97' EX coupe, hunter green. 17's, header, short shifter, full exhaust,air intake, blacked out windows, full Kenwood stereo, no bump, just quality sound. Had a 92' hatch SI. Header, exhaust,air intake, suspension, stereo, interior, 17's, limo tint, you couldn't see in that car with your face pressed against the windows. That was the car I want to build again. Had a 91' hatch, SI. Header, intake, exhaust, short shifter, 15" Integra wheels,suspension, tint, stero, gutted interior, race seats.

I like the clean and understated look. Wish I had pictures of my 92'. It was similar to this:

Best factory blue color!

I'm getting there! Hold on for a minute!

Please tell me you weigh 300+ pounds and shoehorn yourself into that car.

With the width on the racer wanna be version I imagine they have foot wide spacers. Good for suspension and steering bits. Actually, looks like two radically different wheel offsets that I kinda wonder what they did.

I'm 6'-4", 270 lbs. I love my spark. Wife has a pink one.

That tuner version is crazy modified. I doubt it's got a stock part on it.

What's that saying; "more fun to drive a slow car fast, than it is to drive a fast car slow".

But, if I could drive a GT3 slow, I would still be in heaven. Favorite all time car, GT3.

Classic big fella small car.

I always thought the car before it, which I can't recall the name, the Aevo or something, based off something before it, had cool rear suspension cause you could see the spring cups on the lower arms.

Surprisingly the Spark handles pretty good. Could use a stiffer spring but for stock it does good. This one will be stock for a long time. I dig it.

My buddy has an '05 GT3 he uses for Auto-x constantly. It's had a few weird, but typical for Porsche problems. Cost of ownership is higher than expected, to put it mildly.

I assume your Spark is a manual? (You're not allowed in this thread anymore if it's an automatic)

2014 Chevy Spark | Specs and Dimensions | Chevrolet

Dimensions LS Manual LS Automatic
Base Curb Weight 2269 lbs 2368 lbs

ECOTEC® 1.2L DOHC 4-cylinder MFI engine
Displacement (liters/cu. in.) 1.2L/76
Horsepower @ RPM 84 @ 6400
Torque @ RPM 83 @ 4200

A 1.2 liter!?

27:1 power to weight ratio. Without you in it.

What's funny is my car is 1200 cc, my bike is 1100. My Goldwing was 1800 cc / flat six. The motor on it was literally bigger in size.

There's a z6 1.6 in the EP kaa. We had a forklift at work with a 1.9 in it. I was made fun of. So I got a 2 liter 02.

Never liked DSM. Except maybe! the Evo MR with the roof fins.

There were too many blingy rides being posted. I had to tone it down.


Why you no like DSM?

Just never did. Only thing to make fun of is the crank walk, otherwise seems to be fairly solid. Typically I'd pick a Subby over DSM, except that one Evo MR with fins.

Not a fan of Subaru either really. For no real reason.

Crank walk was a 2nd gen woe. The 4g63 engines in the DSMs were the same 4g63s that were found in the Evos.
