Hey
Well, this won't be my first post (didn't see this forum) but I'd like to say hey to everyone. Just traded in my '95 Ex coupe for a 2005 EX Special Edition Sedan 5MT. Its Silver, too common a color, but it still looks nice.

Well, I plan on doing some suspension and brake work in the near future. I'm not planning on any engine mods untill I can do a K series swap. I don't want to go FI and spending money on the D engine won't bring me much in return. I like the stock look, so the only real visual mods I'd do would be some wheels and the suspension (maybe about a 1-1.5 inch drop). I'm not really sure of what type of set-up I'd like to do, but I'd prob use either Koni Yellows or KYB AGX shocks and either H&R or Eibach springs. As I've just gotten the car I am still researching what exactly I want to do, but that is my general plan.

Rep Power: 260 Heh I have family down in Georgia that I see every so often, but I'm a fan of New England. Just wears on you a bit in the winter. A car is part of our property tax I believe. The EG was really nice and I was planning on keeping it as my project when I bought this car, but it was in a fairly minor wreck a few months ago, but the frame was bent a bit. The fix wasn't that great and there were creaks and the winshield was being warped and cracking from the strain. There was also a slow leak in the radiator. A local dealer had a sale where they'd give $4000 regardless or trade, and a fair price for the new car, so I went for it.

Rep Power: 260 Yeah, getting rid if the EG was hard, I really loved it. I still think they are the best looking Civics, but I am very happy with my purchase. I guess now I'm one of those "mature, sedan-driving adults" I keep hearing about in those Altima commercials.
