Newbe from Arkansas

Well, I'm from Fort Smith, AR. I bought my '06 Civic SI brand new, and it has 45k on the OD. I have had no real problems with it, except the heater not working. It would just blow cold until I got it up to speed on the highway. Thanks to Gearbox, and CraigW, for pointing me in the right direction, it would turn out that it being a little low on coolant was the cause of being cold on the way to College. Its my wifes car, and she had to leave around 5am on most days. I would let her drive my '08 Ram.

Back to the introducing...lol. I love this Civic. The SI is an all around good dependable, car thats pretty fast. Its no speed demon, but its ok in my book. I have a few other rides, no honda's though. We have a '67 Chevy SWB, and I have had since I was 17, and I hit 28 in March. I have been thru a lot with it, some of my first hundred tickets came from that old truck. I have a '91 S-10 that I'm letting her have, because I have the '67 that I'm restoring. It has a 350, and is around 425hp. I have my '08 Ram that pulls my '01 Dakota cc little drag truck, 6.7lter. I have a few other toys too. This Civic isn't my very first. I had a '94 Integra a few years ago, 4 maybe, I forget. It was a coupe, 1.8 GSR turbo car, and I ran 11psi. It wasn't really fast, but I spanked all over the newer GTO's, Vettes, non-ZO6, just the LT1 345hp ones. I never raced a WRX STI, however most people thought I could. I love most rides, but I do like my SI, but I just don't get to drive it much. The wife has it but I get to drive on the weekends some.


This site has already won me over, but I still have 1 more little problem, can't be fixed cheap, but its not real bad.

Re: Newbe from Arkansas

I try to get on all the sites I'm on, but I'm on a few...lol. I'm on a site for the '67 that I'm restoring. I'm on a Ram/Dakota forum, and a forum for my cruiser, however haven't been on that one in a while, because no one rides really.

I can't wait to see pics or other Civics, exspecilly other gen 8's.
