Pretty cool, only thing though, I'm willing to bet that the Lexus was played with a little bit more. Interesting none the less.

Not entirely a fair comparison... but cool none the less.

I can not say how the cars were treated before I owned them. But I beat on both about the same. 95% nice easy drive to work and back, 5% beating the snot out of them.

The Lexus had only an open element filter with some custom ducting while I was daily driving it (i've put maybe 5 miles on since I pulled it from DD duty and started stripping it, lots of just sitting because insurance is so expensive on it), Civic has open element filter & ebay intake pipe, act clutch & fidanza flywheel, other various weight reduction for better MPG (light weight VX wheels, ect) and the civic probably gets beaten on a little more.

I was surprised my self when I pulled the valve cover off the Lexus as I took pretty good care of it while daily driving it (3k oil changes with mobile one).
