I saw this a long time ago and I think it looks a lot better. If it is the sports edition of the car, it should at least look sporty.

I think this whole Sports Edition thing has gotten out of controle.

What happend to the after marked, it got replaced by ****ty factory made parts!

I remember i took a look under the hood of a 2003 Civic with this special Si Kit that was supozed to change the performance, and guess what i see, NOTHINGS CHANGED!

it didnt even have cold air induction, just the regular air filter with 3 90* bends!

If you want a sports car, get a 93 Civic, its the last year they made the unresticted engine, and you can get after market parts for it dirt cheap and make it look ****ing amazing! not to mention it will blow the socks off the new Civic Si

If everyone had the money to buy a BMW or any brand in that range, then you wouldnt see "rice" drive down the street as often.

I wouldn't mind it so much if they weren't turned into rice left and right. Look at the Civic's of today. They look like nice cars that a family would be found in. This screams rice. Add a giant spoiler/wing and a loud exhaust system and the transition is complete.

Or you dont build a civic engine because they're just too small. Any fast civic you'll see on the road has a H22A or B18A (GSR, I forget the exact numbers) swap. Civic engines aren't made to build, they're made to last. Not to mention the stock transmission wouldn't handle any real horsepower/torque.

I believe the fastest front wheel drive unibody car has or had a built D series engine not B or H.

So that argument isn't very valid

Don't forget that the B series was stock in most 90s Civics in Japan as well.

(Step away from the magazine stand and put Super Street back on the shelf.)

I don't htink we have magazine stands in WV, lol! :)

Its easiest to build those engines. Also, after looking, most of the D series engines were in the CX models which are the lightest versions of the Civic as far as I know. They don't run over 137 HP either, so its still not logical to build a small engine like that. It would cost a lot [but I guess considering the swap..].

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
