Do you think Jay (JayzTwoCents) should upgrade Linus' Civic?

[3 Lions]

I think this would be great, obviously we know Jay is a fantastic home mechanic as 90% of the work that's gone into his Nissan 370Z Nismo 'Nizzy' is done by him. Jay could have the Civic for like a month to do the upgrades required (upgrade suspension to Type R spec, engine remap, upgrade air intake, upgrade the exhaust ect). The reveal could be uploaded to ChannelSuperFun.

 

What do you think?

Why though? Linus could afford a BRAND NEW type R if he wanted.

No. God no. 

 

It’s a piece of shit civic. Let it be. 

 

If you want Jay to do some work for Linus, have him get a new car to start with.

Why not build a sleeper car with a powerful engine and better parts?

That's a lot of work for a car hobbyist, like Jay, to do. Maybe if a car focused Youtuber did it then it would be feasible.

That would be interesting to watch.

Because at the end of the day it's still a piece of crap Honda Civic?

 

I've never understood the "scene" that likes souped up cars that aren't really very good cars.

 

Plus, how many ricer civics are there? If you're gonna create a sleeper, do it right and do it to a car that never gets souped up.

No, it's the greatest Lambo ever made.

 

Don't you dare disrespect the Lambo

It's already the ultimate automobile for every occasion ever, like socks and sandals. No need for an upgrade.

Because Rice Cars and Rat Rods are almost always Honda Civics and Accords.

It'd be like building a sleeper PC in an Area51 case.

Indeed.

 

Want to impress me? Build a sleeper using a dented 1997 Plymouth Voyager.

[dizmo]

Heavens no. That vehicle isn't something worth investing any kind of money into.

I remember there used to be rumors of a V10 powered Caravan...

Oh I'm sure someone has done it.

[LinusTech]

I wouldn't even invest in a matching pair of tires on that thing.. let alone new suspenders and air inputs.

The correct "Sleeper" is a racing/skilled driver in an ordinary car. Souped up cars are expensive. A good driver however, priceless.

 

Even if the law allows, can't really abuse a lot of Go Fast bits on the roadways anyway beyond just a good set of tires, and maybe some brakes.
