I realized a short while after getting my '01 that modding it wasnt gonna be worth it. That car is going nowhere fast anytime soon without doing a motor swap. And with the swap i wanted costing 10g's at the time (because i was trying to do a swap back when it was damn near brand new) i said fuck that shit.

Then i began looking for a new car all together, when it suddenly hit me: Why not use the civic as a reliable low gas eating car and get a bike which will be 5x's faster.
