Got my new whip!

2007 honda civic Si coupe. Being a previous em2 owner, this Si got some power into it. very comf, easy to drive, and to me i think its a great looking car. the color of the car is white and i am the only one around my area to own a two door white civic Si. theres a 4 door one which also looks good i think. but other then that im the only one. never saw a white Ex yet either. but anyways, i got lots of plans for this car. im digging the k series motor so i think ima go all out with the motor before i do anything else to the exterior and interior. ive been talking about swaping in a k series motor into my em2 but it never happened so heres my chance to play with it. i'll post pics of it soon.

Congrats man!. I ALSO traded my EM2 today for a Highthawk black pearl Civic Si! I don't see anyone around in my town with a black Si. it's good to have something new. this will be my baby for life!. untill the wheels fall off!. hey BTW, how much are you paying a month for your Si if you don't mind me asking?

eh!, i'm paying 436 a month. it's still affordable. how or why is your monthly payment so low?. what did you do?. ofcourse i had nothing down and i only got 6K trade in for my EM2. and i owed 8 on it.i got a 6.9 rate. my bank is a good bank though so it could've been WAY WAY worse! you're paying 89 dollars less a month than me. and thinking about it here for a second. i was JUST looking around at cars with my Girlfriend and ended up getting one. to think, what would it had been like if i had saved 4K like i naturally wanted to do before i ended up buying one. but i actually thought that i was looking at nothing any lower than 500 dollars a month. i was wrong though, i love how it all turned out. i'm finanaced for 72 months though. ALSO, how is your insurance?. i know that this car won't be much monthly for insurance. i hope it'll only be like 11 dollars more a month. my GF and i are on the same deal for insurance so we pay for BOTH cars when we pay our insurance. we have progressive. but yeah man, my outcome although isn't as great as yours might've been but it SURELY isn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. i am STILL shocked at it all. but i love my new Si sooo much!.

NO REGRETS.

hey, i was wondering if so far, you've done anything bad to your car like stalling or grinding a gear or whatever. i wonder if grinding a gear for the first time in a 2007 Si would ruin it...?. i guess i'm not giving these K20 engines enough credit?. they're probably 1 of the best engines honda has besides their s2000 motor i think. what do you think. oh, and don't forget to respond to my last post too please LOL. i know i can be a handfull about leaving too many Q's to be asked. i'm strange like that.

i dont know. they just told me i will be paying that much. i got approved for zero downpayment also and my car trade in value was only 5 grand. and 6.9 rate seems a little too high. mines only 6.0. hmm...i dont know but i got lucky i guess. my insurance is like....i think its about 350 a month. but i pay every 6 months so....

I put down $5000 on my '07 Si, and am paying $320 a month. My interest rate is 6.84%. I also got about a grand knocked off sticker price. I paid $20,914 for the car, and added wheel locks and fog lights for about $900. After taxes I paid $23,841, so I financed $18,841. Oh............my loan is for 72 months.

Sweet man!. I love my Si!. i don't have any plans as of yet except for maybe some tint. I also wanted to get some rims sometime soon, we'll see. have any of you guys got any defects on your cars that you found out and don't like?. i haven't yet. my car came with the wheel locks and the sunroof visor. i took the sunroof visor off my car and it left a teeny tiny little paint scratch. it looks more like a chip. but it's like the size of a pensil tip. i'm **** and thats been driving me kinda crazy!. but i guess you can't see it anyways since it's between the rubber edge of the sunroof and the edge of the body of the car where the sunroof falls into place. the 1 bitch i had about after getting my car is that the tech's or SOMEONE touched things in my car with their dirtyass hands and left grease finger print marks. like on the headliner. but i took that off with a perfectly damp microfiber rag today. most of it came out. atleast the most visible part. the headliner in our Si's are pretty strong looking and they feel strong too!. so whats up with you guys?, any gripes or complaints when you got yours?. have you caused any damage to it yet (minor or heavy)? i'll have to post up some pics of my Si since i took pictures today. today was my cars first wash since the purchase. she looks hot!. her name is Natalie BTW.

here are some pictures of her!.







THIS IS THAT LITTLE MARK KNICK/SCRATCH THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN I TOOK THE SUNROOF VISOR OFF. IT'S THE WHITE DOT YOU SEE AT THE EDGE ON THE SUNROOF WINDOW GROOVE. ALTHOUGH I THINK THAT THIS PICTURE MAKES IT LOOK ALOT BIGGER THAN IT REALLY IS YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE IT UNLESS YOU WERE LOOKING AT IT AND KNEW WHERE IT WAS. WHEN THE SUNROOF IS CLOSED, YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE IT.

ANOTHER SHOT OF IT. EVENTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THE OTHER PICTURE LOL





MY OLD CAR


do you guys think i should be all messed up about the little knick on my Si or not?. it's not like it went through the primer. besides, it's small!. i mean, it's about as small as this---> *

sweeeeet Si man. looks just like mine but its black. as for me, i have no complaints so far with my car. everything is running smooth. i also havent lost a race yet. with my em2, i loose all the damn time and i got sick and tired of it. but anyways...i have really really small chip on my hood. its like on the bottom edge of it. i guess it happened on the highway? i dont know but my friend pointed that out to me yesterday. oh and yesterday was my first ticket with this car. im a little pissed but oh well. but then the cop wrote down false info on the ticket. it said it was a 2004 honda civic. i dont know... a lot of people are saying that any false info on a ticket, the judge will just rip it up and let you go?? we'll see.

but anyways...i cant post pics because i have no camera soo...my girlfriend named my car the " mean white machine " lol
