My new 2005 Civic SE.

* 20% tints
* Lidatek L-30 install (www.lidatek.com) - check under the front plates
* Valentine one with conceled display
* Compustar FM900 A/S starter / alarm
* 16 inch Yokohama AVS ES100 Summer Treds (not on yet)

I am a happy camper

i like the rims, but why do you have two radar detectors?

02boostlessCIV

S2000man01

iTrader: (1)

it's not two radar detectors. he just has a 2nd display hooked up that's concealed down in that tray. and this is also posted in the wrong forum.

Oops - mods can you move to the correct forum?

S2000man01 is right, it is just the concealed display ... so it blanks out the lights on the main unit.

how come the gauges arent like the new ones. those are the same ones i have in my 2002

yes I too was wondering this. Unless this is not a U.S. version, this can't be an 05 SE. Where is the leather wrapped steering wheel? The power mirrors? The body colored door handles? And of course the gauges. Something is fishy here. Its a nice car, but I don't think its an 05 SE.

^ It's an SE model. I didn't know the back piece wasn't colored. Anyway, yeah, nice nice rims.

His plates state so - Ontario = Province (ie State) of Canada

SO .. his Canadian SE = American VP -- I believe

Nice looking car. Check out the Canada East section of the forums for some local people and information. Located near the bottom of the forums mainpage (scroll down )

It is a Canadian SE. It is one step up from the base EX. The only thing it adds is a CD player, power locks with remote, and AC. I didn't want the wing or care for leather (it is a civic after all... if I needed all that maybe I would look at the Acura 1.7EL

I really like it either way... Thanks for all the great comments. When the snow is gone I will put up some pics with the rims. I hope it looks ok since I am not lowering it...

a bit off topic....but, how do you like the valentine? Does it seem to work pretty good?

looks good. Btw did u get auto or manual?

allmotor

nvm i saw ur pedals.

JP375 - the valentine is simply the best. The one you see is the new v1.8. I have also used a Cobra ESD, Passport from way back - and the new Escort Passport 8500 X50.

The valentine falses more, but it is just because it is THAT more sensitive. If you are going to buy a detector, get the V1. Don't waste your money on anything else. However, if you want to play this game you have to get the Lidatek L-30 - if you get dinged by laser, the valentine or any other detector will basically warn you that you must pull over soon!

allmotor - got the stick!

u can get a special edition in the states too, its just an ex with a 6 disk changer and an emblem that says special edition. i have an 02 with the stock 6 disk changer, so i guess i got an se??? :-D

birdman-c

The models are all different on this end... so I can't really comment. I know nothing about the US models

savedadogs

It has 3 pedals=manual.

birdman-c

Go to this link: http://www.honda.ca/Honda/BuildYourH...cCoupe&yr=2005

And tell me if there is an SE or not. I bought the SE, I think I would know. It written on my ownership papers...

Actually, I think that is an SE but w/ no options whatsoever.

I believe you man, just like they said, we're not used to Canadian stuff. It's all good though eh?

Wow that looks like the VP (DX) in the states. You should see all the extras our SE has.

Karumba

Correct .. Canadian SE = US VP

And the American SE = Canadian Reverb if I'm not mistaken
ie :
US DX = Canadian DX
US VP = Canadian SE
US LX = Canadian LX
US SE = Canadian Reverb
US EX = Canadian Si
US Si = Canadian SiR

SlvrLx26

That ain't no SE, it should be an HA model for Half Assed!
