Try telling that to the tag office. They don't care about the naming conventions or the spirit or the soul of the car as you see it.
Because the government in its infinite wisdom is the body that you trust to classify your vehicles?

The STI is a "station wagon" by their classification.

Really, I don't see where bystanders get to tell a car owner what his car can be called based on what they think about mods added to it.
Well, that's actually quite common. I can call my cat a dog. Or I can even shave its fur and call it a lion. Or I can deem it a "seeing cat-dog." But it's not.

Others judge based on the prevailing sentiment. I can think that nekkid is appropriate and still get jailed on indecency charges.

If people want to "join" a club, then the club's rules are the ones that prevail, no?

If that were the case, then I declare that "hellaflush" means the car's no longer an S2000 and has to be called a Civic.
I endorse that completely.

sick! too bad it gets crap for gas mileage, but who cares when you can rumble like that waiting for the V8 DOHC VTEC to show up any day now lol

what is your secret to your entire drive train when you have so much torque and brute power? i know the stock stuff is already barely strong to hold up to a stock build and hard driver.

First of all mine gets mid 20's per gallon in town, and all the stock stuff has been changed like the 8.8 Ford IRS diff and T-56 six speed tranny.

how'd you get the weight so balanced?
Because the motor still sits behind the fulcrum of the front wheels.
