I agree CIVIC has more high speed stability where the corolla loses out in the handling derpartment , thats a + point , but we were talking about the straight line performance , in which the corolla is faster. So i geuss in the 1.8 litre category the vvt-i is better than the v-tec.

Here's a friend's civic with 20" Rims, this I think is a first time in India. Let's not even talk about the practicality issues, but this thing is just crazy, is a absolute showstopper, while driving it I even heard people on the road commenting that the car did not have tyres, some new technology it seems .

BUSA · 28th February 2008, 21:52

Oh crazy. Those wheels look awesome. Any side pic neelaraven?

What tires are those? 225/35/20 seems the best upsize in 20" for the Civic

Look at that offset on the rear!! Insane, not seen any cars locally running such a low profile.

Whats that thin black rubber layer around the rims

Projector also added recently, or am I confusing this with another car...

BUSA - I would disagree. The Accords & the CRV are DOHC.

Hey Karan,

Are you taking part in the Speed Run. If yes good time to prove what you say. Will be driving a Civic in your category, lets see who is faster

In a stock corolla vs a stock civic,the corolla wins by 2 car lengths irrespective of who is driving.the car isnt fast enough to compare to a corolla.
No offense though,

Those are 225/30 R20 in front and 245/30 R20 at the back. Have to see the rear view for this car, it's just insanely wide, am gonna post pix after I am done with the Body kit on this.

faithless_1984 · 28th February 2008, 23:42

Insane.!!
Please post some better quality pics after the bodykit.

Blue - Are those rims genuine Brabus?

Thanks Viper for clearing, Yes the 2.4 unit is a DOHC. No who knows better then Jignesh Bhai, since he made the sidewinder

spawnofsatan · 29th February 2008, 09:29

Looks great...love the wheels, would look even better lowered about 1.5 inches

Don't forget Civic is much better built and heavier car, so engine to engine comparison cannot be done directly.

Rims are authentic brabus and man that car looks so hot!
