gettin my civic soon
well... i had a few posts earlier, and now im back, probably for good. getting a 2003 EX Coupe 5-speed in black. my accord's tranny took a crap on me again, and im getting rid of the truck. i love my accord, and im not really enthaused as much as i was in getting the civic(wanted a pssat Gl 1.8t 5-speed really bad, even test drove one, AWSOME), but i cant afford the passat, and i get one hell of a discount on the civic since i work for honda. most likely now i'll just black housing the healdights, tint the rears, tint the windows, and get an intake system; nothing beats a D/B-series engine for sound w/ an intake. that should be about the extent of my mods.
anyway, i got my accord back about 3 weeks ago, and it was working fine until last saturday night. i finally got the chance to bring it into work and have one of the mechanics look at it. the shop where i had my tranny "fixed" 4 other times forgot to put some bolts back on along with leaving off a mounting bracket. but thats not the problem. the shops says its electrical and external, but both my honda dealers say its an inside problem. i'm calling the laywers in on this one. as soon as it get it fixed, both my truck and my accord are going bye-bye(selling the accord, trading in my truck for the civic).

Rep Power: 0 yeah, almost every problem could have been avoided if honda stuck the 6-speed in accord's 5 years earlier....stupid autotragic tranny. i'll never buy a honda automatic again. my truck was stick, my dad's rsx and jeep are sticks, so i know how awsome stick is compared to auto. a CVT would be wicked sweet though....
