06 civic

before we go any further i need to make one thing real clear. i am talking about and building the civic. ex. lx, those models. my friend has the si issue all sewn up and i will try to get him to tell me about some of that stuff. all the stuff i said was about the new ex, or lx. those cars are sweet as hell. i think you will like them. as for hp?, i'm pretty sure that it has a k20a. they didn't let me see the engine, but from all the parts laying around, i'm almost 100% that's what it is. as for you dash thing, picture this. you have your regular dash, now imagine a smaller one directly on top that's real narrow and has your digital speedo. the gauges are lit up like nothing i have ever seen before. looks like a navi screen. that's all i can get right now, but i will keep everyone posted on the new stuff i find out. anyways, how bout some rep for all the secrets? later.

I gave you a rep point.


If all those options comes from a ex thats really impressive. I'm guessing there putting in a k20a3 then a k20a though. 220hp on a ex seems kinda off to me, 160hp seems more reasonable.

Navi on a ex, oMG.. hahaha sounds like there really transforming the civic into a baby accord.

06 civic

k20a3 sounds right. i'm not sure on that. there are teams of people for every part of that car. to me it looks like that tsx from the front, and the new bimmer 7 series from the back a little. the whole car is wider, the wheels are bigger, if i'm not mistaken i think i heard them mention HIDs too. all the controls are on the steering wheel and it has what looks like an aftermarket shifter, but it's not. it's straight oem. looks sweet. the navi system is in dash and folds down for the cd or dvd slots. all motorized. real-time satellite nav. all together ,it's a bad car. i am holding out to buy one when they come avalible. we get a discount on everything that is honda. from cars to bikes, watercraft, you get the idea. even parts. every part. that's all i got for now, but i'll keep you posted as often as i can. keep throwing some points my way. later.

If everything posted in this thread is realized at the moment when the car is in production, then the Civic Si will be much more expensive than Accord V6. Agree?

BTW, I really want some night gauge reflections than those stupid Navi. Night gauge reflection-when headlight turns on at night, the gauge will refect off the windshield in addition to just inside the instrument panel.

I am a software programmer that writes forms programs for dealers, manufacturers, and banks alike. I am considered "a partner" and get the preffered or employee discount from *most* monufacturers. We supply and represent 95% of brands in N. America, Canada, and now in Europe

I dont have a civic. I have an element and solara but I want either an 06 si or a 02-04 rsx-s which is most likely. I get pretty good deals on subies but Im not feeling them

I am IC hardware engineer and I drive Civic too.

I guess he is planning to buy a house or start his own company? instead of invest all on cars that can only depreciate?

Some people like to see money in their account while some like to have a super car but have nothing in their account.
