Last I checked modded Civics were making more power than modded S2ks. 
At the end of the day when all is said and done your still driving a gas saving civic but in this case not because you have more power and are using a higher octane right? This is not a bad thing at all I mean I still have a civic. Love the car. Especially for the long trips. 
Its funny my integra's entire value was less than my S2k Endless brake kit. Thats crazy.

I am a newbie... to this site and to the S2K I bought back in January. I bought it because I was a prelude freak. I have both a 00' prelude turbo, plus a 92 si. Love them both, and I was actually going to buy a new acura TL six speed but when i got to the dealership they had the red S2k beauty and after a test drive I couldn't get out of it. I had to put a sold sign in the window... I'm now selling the turbo Prelude because i want this to be my new project fast car... and i will use the 92' lude for winter times.
