The dark side implies something cool and powerful, what you're describing sounds more like the douche side.

The side of douches.

Chrome 91 is just upset @ how easy it is to get a Honda into the 12s, 11s or 10s.

5) I do not believe you walk 35HRs.

If you are all for show then the mods are warranted I suppose, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the car. And no, Honda has never been the dark side, although the S2k is the closest to it Honda has gotten (excluding the NSX).

As for getting good gas mileage, 18mpg city in a light 2 liter NA car is horrendous. Mileage isn't the point of the car however, a nonstop ear-to-ear grin is closer to the mark.
1. thanx for your comment, i do agree with you on the lug nuts i dont like them either
2. ...
3. Bought car with tein springs, thts gonna change very soon
4. i dont really care about intakes, Turbo to come
5. i NEVER said i did, for the last time, i use to own 2nd Gen G35 Sedan(VQ35HR)

if you mod it, please dont do bolt ons and just boost it.. there are about 20-25 s2k around here, ALL of the are boosted, the one that did FULL bolt ons, i believe, headers back intake and this,that,the 3rd and only gained like 15hp over base. he later sold it and bought a CL-S

heres one turbo one down the street from me

I just think it's stupid to put a 260 treadwear tire on a car that came stock with a 140 treadwear tire. I'm sure a C5 will handle well with anything in 305/30/19, so no need to worry.

I'm well aware of that and the point still stands. If it were 280 and 240 I would not be using the TW rating to compare comounds, but it's not. 140 <<< 260
