Question tilted car.......?

I noticed that my EK when viewed carefully from the rear it is tilted a tiny bit to the left. This was more obvious before i dropped the car now it is even less. Not really a huge problem i was just wondering if anyone was experienceing similar situtation and if anyone had any ideas on what the problem might be.

thanks

Thats normal for a Civic. Engine is mounted in a way, that puts more weight on the left side, so the car is a bit tilted to the left.
In right hand drive models (Euros and Asian models) the weight of the driver balances this. However, we have left hand drive, so I suppose car would be even more left-leaned, once the driver is inside.... I kindda dislike it too, but its not supposed to be hurmful in anyway. Its normal. Don't worry about it.

just causes crappy tire wear if you are lowered and drive by yourself often... too much weight on the one side...
