Rep Power: 0 Damn it man, you'll be one happy driver next month. 
The more and more I see the 3 door hatch it looks better every time. Put some better rims and a body kit on and your almost in Civic Type-R country. At least you got a better engine for modding than our D17.
I'm thinking of trading my Coupe LX for a Type-R (we have them here in Europe). We don't have the Si or the RSX-S. And modding a D17 with parts only available in the US is gonna be very expensive. So the CTR seems like my only option, even though I like coupes more then hatches. I still think Honda should've made the CTR a coupe.
Anyway, good luck with your new hatch. Just don't leave it stock and post pics when you get it.

Rep Power: 0 At first, i didnt like the new SIs but then i sat in one at a car show and man i loved it. I hope i can test drive one here if the dealers dont sell them right away. You'll definitely have to lower it though.

I'm sure you would. I'll make you a deal. You get the RSX-S, I'll get the CTR and we'll swap.
You then become the first CTR owner on this site, and I'll get kicked off
. Be worth it though.

Rep Power: 0 Im gonna wait to see if everything I've heard (from someone with Honda of america, not some magazine BS.) is true. I was told that they will bring the type R to America, but there will be no formal announcement until summertime. If so, I want one in black.

Rep Power: 0 Nah man don't hold your breath for the CTR. It ain't gonna be here anytime soon (if at all). Anyway to all the people saying they want the Type R in a coupe, it's not going to happen. And IMO it shouldn't happen. As pointed out in other threads, the Type R and the Si was never in a coupe except in 99-00 in North America. That was the only time.
Hatches are what built Honda, and it's what they should keep making.

Rep Power: 0 << oh yeh the new si comes with 15's dont the 99-00 come wwith 16's?? well i guess its a hatch so they dun put as large wheels on them..... >>
Hmmmm...no, I think the 99-00 SI's had 15's as well. But they weren't hubcaps...on a black rim. They were Rims...aluminum i think.

Rep Power: 0 just be prepared...that red badge is a magnet for ricers and racers..
it might just be a drivers race but if you see an older Si on the street I wouldn't go racin right away..

Rep Power: 0 I ordered one early October (put 7 grand down) right after I sold my 93 Si hatch. Apparently here in Canada, we also get Milano Red as a colour option. But there is a catch...Canada will only get 35 white SiR's. Which is cool cause I've got my name on one of them!
I've also ordered Ground Control coilovers and 17" Tenzo Shu-4's in White. I'm gonna hold out on a body kit until there's at least a few to choose from.
Good luck with the new car ricerocket.....I'm as hyped as you are!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Oh yeah one more thing....You think waiting a month is bad????? By the time I get mine it'll be 7 months waiting!!!! What makes it even worse is, I've been driving a winter beater (87 toyota tercel) since I sold my last Civic! ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! going nuts here.
