i do own a tuning shop with my friends and i can justify everything i spent for this car. :)

in all it cost me about 500,000-550,000 including the cost of the car.

so did it actually cost an arm and a leg?
if you can find me a car that performs the same way, is still socially acceptable and is as reasonable to maintain and runs as reliably as this...then this project MIGHT not have been worth doing. so try and find me a reason.

True, because the Civic has always been a good ride to start with when it comes to tuning. Its popularity (even up to now) is enough proof, I guess.

Whats the name of your shop? I might visit it this February when we are going to Manila because I am just not satisfied with the 110h output of my Lancer.

yeah, cool ride dude, white honda civic with the whole set up! Hyperparts applied! I just don't really like the paintjob. The design is very unique but way way very inappropriate. IMO, the design itself make the car downgraded.
For the first glance, I thought your car is just a 90 corolla or 89 lancer or 93 sentra. That's because of the design of the paint job. Peace out.
