Re: How old were you when you got your Civic.

progress is relative. i guess if you're more happy with your car than the day you bought it then you've made progress.

I bought an '02 ex in spring of '02 when I was 18, I'm now 24.

I've spent at least $3500 in mods including rims, body kit, intake, header, tsunami roof wing, DCS cat back, alpine HU, amps, subs and things along the way that have since been changed or upgraded.

Yesterday I signed for a '04 accord ex-L v6 6spd and take delivery on wednesday.

Re: How old were you when you got your Civic.

Bought my 05 Civic SE last April, I was 27. Just turned 28 last month and I've only replaced the headlight bulbs with slightly brighter Sylvania's, due to losing both the low and high beam on the passenger side on Monday. Changing the driver side 9006 is a complete PITA BTW. All headlight bulbs should be easily accessible.

The only other mod I did was install a new deck, Pioneer DEH-P6000UB. I also have another car payment, mortgage, other debts and a baby on the way.

I might have to dump the Civic in a year and move up to a 4 door AWD car.

Re: How old were you when you got your Civic.

Been saving for a car since I was in 7th grade. I bought my 04 EX May 2009. Only one previous owner and he was old and didn't mod anything so I know he didn't beat on it. I was 20 then. Gonna be 21 in 6 days. WOOOO!!! School is expensive so I haven't been modding it that much. so far...

Sony headunit
AEM V2 SRI

Only about $380 invested in the extras. Not really sure what I want to do next. Maybe an HID retrofit?

Re: How old were you when you got your Civic.

Re: How old were you when you got your Civic.

I got mine when I was 16. I started out with a dodge Dakota truck for about 6 months and absolutely hated it. Then I got my Em2 and never looked back. I'm 20 now and love my Em2.
