A very very very good debate topic

[michaelbelen]

pero if ever po, anong best choice po dyan para sa inyo?

Don't rock someone else's style.

And please, not another Civic.

If you would want to stand out, get a beaten-up B13 Sentra for less than 100. Or sub-100. Repaint. OEM color if wanted. Don't go cheap on paint, please. Go DuPont, or K92. Anzhal looks ... err ... Get OEM parts. Mags, bumpers, headlights ... everything. Find the freshest one. Preferably new. Stick them altogether. Get a fresh SR20 engine. Fool the hell out of your relatives & friends. Let them ride on your " fairly-new " B13, take them on an expressway. Laugh at your bud's SiR. Then leave him in the 80++km stretch of SCTEX. Once you reach your destination. Laugh at your bud's dressed up and accessorized civic like an autistic person. Then finally, surprise them what's under the hood. I`ll bet. Their jaws will drop.

Sometimes, you just need to lay-low in terms on looks and focus on the performance itself. Frankly, if given the chance, I'd do that. I'd gladly will. No budget, though.

Get a stock car, then build it....Mas satisfying..

how much do you think would that cost?

4168469: Nope, I find the pre-facelift look too old. Yung headlights sobrang bug-eyed, taillights luma tingnan. Mileage is a bit high, too.
4177596: Ano ba yan... Chop chop! SiR front tapos Domani rear? Parang kung saan saan ka kumuha ng piyesa at pinagsama-sama. Kung kinonvert niya too look like a whole post facelift SiR then maybe it might still be worth considering. And if part of the mod list includes rear disc brakes, it would be even better.
4458927: Eto pwedeng ipag-isipan. Ang dami ng pics, at napaka-detailed. Obvious na confident siya with the condition of the car. Visit this one personally, God may have found the perfect ride for you.

kaya lang kuya GTi, wala na kong pang modify dyan kung kukunin ko yan, kahit pang sound set up wala na. hehehe. Eh kung ako nalang mag upgrade ng SiR rear nung blue? FRONT AND REAR daw yung disc brakes nun eh.

Meron? Di ko nakita ah. If you are able to find an affordable conversion, why not? BUT, looking at its heavily modified state this one has definitely been extensively raced. People don't do this to cars just to show off or use for their daily commute. And I am turned off with the black hood and trunk, nababaduyan ako eh.

Dun sa 2000 model, mukhang mas sariwa yan. It is already lightly modified, you don;t have to spend for new rims and engine mods anymore since may race filter na yan. I can't see the stereo, but in case you need to change that, hindi naman yan ganun ka mahal. And most importantly, its got lesser kilometers on it.

[michaelbelen]

eh tingin mo kuya mga hagang anong price ko pwede tawaran yan? ))) hihihihi.. penge naman idea! :P

eto pa isang 2000, may nakita pa ko mukhang good deal din, bibigay daw nya ng 285, ano sa tingin mo?

268k eh noh? Since negotiable, start by asking for the last price. Kung ayaw sabihin, try hitting around 230k, and negotiate from there. Try asking other Tsikoteers for their opinions as well.

Yung 2440279 lumalabas lumang Nokia N-Gage phone.

[michaelbelen]

ayyy.. hahahaha. type mo ayosdito . ph//Philippines/Cars-1020/honda-for-sale... tapos tsaka mo search yung ID idol. )

another input sir, nakakakita ako ng 2003 model ng honda city type Z vti 1.5 engine. Mga nasa 230k lang. Tingin mo? If I can afford the civic, civic nalang?

[zap.FREEDOM]

ayyy.. hahahaha. type mo ayosdito . ph//Philippines/Cars-1020/honda-for-sale... tapos tsaka mo search yung ID idol. )

nakakaumay, puro na lang honda civic ek o di naman kaya Civic SiR, para maiba naman i rather pick a stock mazda 323 familia yung mga 1998 model, then black paint and a gold te37 16'' or 18'' kahit hindi na i-drop mukha naman naka-drop to kapag malaki yung nakasalpak na mags e, then 3oook HID headlight bulb then gold foglight ok na,(para hepatitis look) tapos kung may extra budget salpakan din ng k20 engine, hehehe...mazda tapos honda ang makina.

[renzo_d10]

As a whole? Definitely not. Regaining a car's glory from scratch is an endless task. After doing this, there will be sleepless nights wherein you're thinking if you should do this or that.

I can't really explain it. But once you start modifying/putting everything in place. Malalaman mo yan.

BTW pm replied.

Nasa sayo na yan. And it also depends on the condition of the two cars you are choosing between. Ano ba gusto mo? Mas bago pero mas maliit oh mas luma pero mas malaki? Both look timeless, performance of the two in stock form should be more or less similar though I'd expect the Civic to have better handling due to double wishbones fore and aft and the City to have better braking due to discs on all fours versus the Civic's disc/drum setup. Either way there are compromises.
