Jay Valle’s ‘99 Civic EX sedan
Inspiration can strike from any angle in the automotive world. Some take cues from the past, relying on clever tricks and patented crowd-pleasers from the never forgotten Hot Rod era, while others might draw ideas from present trends that are often white-hot one week, and quickly disregarded the next. The idea behind building a standout vehicle stems from finding that delicate balance; one that flirts with a variety of styles, without blatantly going overboard. If you can somehow avoid the money-related roadblocks, you might catch a stick in your spokes from the regular day-to-day trials and tribulations. As if that wasn’t enough to fill your plate, imagine being over 7,000 miles away from your wife and children for a span of six years, like Jay Valle of Lake Elsinore, CA.

In 1997, Jay took the sixteen-plus hour flight to the Philippines to continue his scholastic career. Spending the next four years in college opened his eyes to a whole new world. “Thanks to the night life, street racing, and the rich college kids with built Hondas, I was hooked. I pretty much fell in love with Hondas while living in the Philippines.” One model in particular really struck a chord with Jay, and his infatuation today is stronger than ever. The ‘99-’00 Civic sedan, particularly the Vi-RS model, is the one that held Jay’s attention over the past 10 years. As the urge to build his own Honda continued to grow, a funny thing happened; life. Finishing college, he married his significant other while still overseas, and was soon faced with a tough life choice. “I basically had no choice but to come back to the states in order to find a good job and support my family. Leaving them in the Philippines was by far the worst moment of my life,” he sadly recalls.

@coandcaiv If you use a Honda like this guy does, you can forget about your “long lasting”, and your right just don’t compare Honda’s to Chevy’s because the only thing Honda has on Chevy is probably there freaking Lawnmowers. Btw that RR sounds beast.

@pr0ph3cy92 everybody has their own taste, not saying there is anything wrong with yours. you can like what you want. but what i will say is that since the veyron is awd it can put its power to the ground more effectively, handle more precisely and be more practical in a magnitude of weather and surface conditions. rwd may be more fun, but lets face it, nowadays almost all new cars over 30k have awd standard, and its for good reason too.

It’s the end of the road for the current generation of the Civic Type R in Europe as Honda recently announced its hot hatch will no longer be sold in most parts of the continent from the end of 2010. The 2.0-litre, 198-horsepower hatch debuted as a production model in late 2006, and in its current form the engine doesn’t meet the new Euro-V emissions standards which now apply throughout the European Union.

Since its market debut back in January 2007, Honda has sold over 12,000 examples of this generation model in the UK alone. The next generation of the Civic is due to make its debut in 2011, with a Type R model expected (but not confirmed) to be in development.
