well if thats what he means, then almost all cars people buy is stock.. except some smaller feature differences like stick, spoilers, alloys, cargo net, whatever...

Those are all stock as well. Throw in your own aftermarket high-voltage coil, or port your headers and it's no longer stock.

of course they're stock.. that's why you rice it out :lol: that's the point of having a civic anyway

My goal for having a civic was not to "rice it out". If I were to do that I would have bought a celica. I wanted a nice, reliable car at a cheap price to fit my budget to get from point A to B with school and work. I am 18 (OMG 18!! IM DONE FOR) and the world isnt over, everything comes and goes. I don't care how much you guys say how shitty a 2004 civic LX is. Main point is that I'm happy, and that's what counts.

i think a celica is more of a "rice" car becuase it is faster; also depends on what you mean by "rice" specifically

celica gts
180 hp @ 7,600 rpm
and 130 lb.-ft. @ 6,800 rpm in torque.

compared to a civic ex:
114 @ 4800 rpm in torque
127 @ 6300 rpm

of course you see a lot more civics cause they are cheaper and more customizable. think. only once.

my def of riced out - all show and no go. fart cans make no more power, theyre just annoying. civics stock, i like 'em. wouldnt mind having one myself. but as long as the people know that they arent race cars, and never will be race cars, and its all cool. cause my 'pretty much' stock S-10 will handle civics anyday. considering they havent been turbocharged or had nitrious installed.

later

first thing that came to my mind was a Golf :P

golf's are not bad cars.. but I don't care for the looks...

sure a celica is faster.. ricing out is like aemon said... all show and no or little go... you hear about someone ricing you hear about farting civics... not celicas...

A Golf aren't that great of a car either; the bang for the buck dept... they are too highly priced for what they are. they fit the description of all show no go. I personally think that any car with 115 horsepower thats not priced adequatly is bad. but I dunno what deals are going on now though..
