Not after you heat the springs and set the car on its bumpstops. :lol:

Cut the bump stops off for extra win.

Yeah, the cheap price of the Civic and their reliability reputation probably appeal to ricers. And the fact that there are so many after-market "ruining" kits out there for them.

Well, I also get a ton of compliments from normal people too.

Is that why you bought the Catera?  Because of the plethora of classy people it draws in?  Do they wear top hats, monocles, and pocket watches too? :lol:


Yes, I get the full VIP treatment every time I roll up in the Caterror!  :lol:




Actually, nobody pays any attention to it at all, which is just the way I like it.

Not in Boise. I bet there's a lot more wrong with it, too. For one, the front valance thing looks like it's sticking out a lot. Also, not starting sometimes? Could be a loose wire, or could be the DME. Ruined rear spoiler, I think, means whole new rear hatch, which is $$$. It also appears to be the earlier model with the less-good suspension and '70s dash. Finally, 150 kmiles is pretty high for that money. There are actually a few better 944s for cheaper on Boise CL now.
