My car isn't about "show" at all. I don't give the tiniest fuck if anyone is impressed with my car. I'm going to mod it in the way that *I* like it, and I'm not concerned whether or not my mods impress anyone else.

This car is awesome when it comes to handling. First off, it weighs under 2200 pounds. It also has double wishbones on all four corners, and with my Koni adjustable shocks and coilover springs, I can make it over-steer or under-steer as much as I want it to. To over-steer so much that it'll scare you, I simply set the front shocks at 1 and the rears at 4. Barely lifting of the throttle in a corner causes the rear to shoot out enough that it nearly goes into a tailspin. Normally, I keep the fronts on 3 and the rears on 4 because I like it to stay stiff. Also, the car has been lowered about an inch and a half on the coilovers, and I might lower it a bit more when I get the new wheels on. It all trial and error to get it as low as possible without rubbing the fenders on the tires when cornering or hitting bumps/dips.

Take a modded Civic for a drive and shut your fat mouth.
