  • Amidst a sea of big aero, big power, and big budgets, it’s always refreshing to see a home-built Civic that can still make some more expensive machinery sweat. It’s a classic recipe: drop as much weight as possible, and pop in the biggest motor you can find. Pair it with the biggest tires you can stuff in the fender. Our friend from Gears and Gasoline Ben’s EK hatch is the build that gives us time attack hope - lots of fun, and lots of speed for minimal budget.

    This generation civic in the hatch version ek is the most aesthetically pleasing vehicle I can think of. Wheels. And tint is the only mods I would do. Just to compliment and already great looking car. Nothing about this body style is insulting. The plastic trim on the doors that run down the side isn't even ugly. If straight. The interior is simple easy on the eyes. It's just great design imo. It's a bubble ear car that wasn't in the bubble era. I've wanted one since the tuner craze in the early 2000s I was 13. I need to aquire one I think

      @Matt sorry I forgot to add out of high production number cars the best looking car ever in my opinion is the 250 GT swb Berlinetta this changes from time to time depending on what type of racing I'm into at the time or if I seen it in a movie. Not long ago it was the lancia stratos. Then it was the lancia Delta integral Hf and that was where I got my user name
