how come he's only running a standard exhaust? does it make a difference? surely would be good for a few horses if the engine was highly modified?

Quite a mental sound too - which car was making that noise?

Sorry, it's no good.

You just can't polish a turd no matter how fast it is (in a straight line)

Isn't the saying,
A Turd's a Turd, it does not matter how much you polish it, it is still a Turd!!!

I'm pretty sure the exhaust won't be standard, that might just be there to make the car look standard, could be a side exit etc.

I think you hit the nail on the head Molly.

The most effective exhaust systems for Hondas come out of Mugen, and they make a point of maintaining a standard look.

The same goes for the DX badge, it's not for diesel, the Americans don't know can run cars on the stuff! It's just a bog standard "LX" type notation used in the US market(ADM).

I guess the owner wants to lull pursuers into a false sense of security. Anyone who knows anything about Civ's will know not to mess though when they spot the "oh so very subtle" purple suspension set-up... the company name escapes me, but beleive me, it is sorted!

The mad bit is its not a vtec, but a D16A9 mill like the one that lives in Twink's nose...

...how gratifying.

Now where do I get the dosh for the turbo and the hi capacity PGM-Fi set-up?....
