Honda Civic by James Camarador

The good old Honda Civic has been around for long time now and since its launch it must have sold so many model that it would be probably impossible to account for them all. This is because there are so many that have disappeared off the face of the earth through scrapping and destruction that the older models like this one from year 2000.

It is one of those cars that initially would have been driven by the older driver or possibly a lady. but it was not that long before it was realised that the Honda Civic could be modified into something spectacular, it must be something to do with the shape and the way that the car has been built one thing is for sure the car attracts a different person now.

On the outside there is little that can be altered without spoiling the whole shape and lines of the car, there is not even a huge spoiler attached to the boot lid. The only thing about that is clearly visible about on the outside is the wheels on the lowered suspension. For small car 172 HP is plenty of power in fact this is enough to see virtually any car off from the traffic lights.
