I was 24 when I got my 2004 ES. It was my very first owned car and I'm half way on paying it off. I'm going to be 27 soon and not in a big rush on modding my car completely.

You're still young bro and for sure someday you'll want a much better car :tup:

karizzle 04-03-2006 12:09 AM

seems so far that a lot of civic owners r a lot younger than i thought. thought most of you were early to mid 20's. most ppl our age r driving rusted out broken PO

EM2typeflex 04-03-2006 01:09 AM

got my 02 ex coupe in 03 when my son was born. Turned 21 in Sept. so I was 18. I really wanted a ram-air, but being that the civic was gonna be my 5th car, I couldn't afford insurance on the ram-air, thus got stuck having to get the vic. Civic was paid off in 04, only to waste over 20g+ on parts thorugh 05. To many mods to list, but let's just say almost everything on the car has been changed.

Thuener 04-03-2006 04:20 AM

i bought myself my car for my 21st birthday, before that, i had a 94 voyager, (which was awesome). But my car came with a system, i/h/e + full coilovers + suspension minus strut bars. The car had 93k miles on it and i purchased it for $9,000.

i have payments, 150 a month, +637 for insurence every 6 + a girlfriend so modding hasn't really gone anywhere aside from a momo shift knob and robbear lights + rims + tint

plans include a k20 swap

booba5185 04-03-2006 04:40 AM

i got mine when i was 18, i've gone through 6 subs, 4 sets of 6x9s, 2 install kits for the system, blew up a cap, 9 amps, 5 decks, tail lights, headlights, a hood, fender, front upper core support, but for now i'm happy, ending result is infinity kappas components in the doors, with 6.5s and kenwood tweets in the kickpanels, infinity kappa perfect sub in a sealed box with a door to the sub, with a pioneer 800wrms amp pushing the sub, a blaupunkt 500w 2 channel amp running the front speakers and a lightning audio 450 watt amp pushing the 6x9s, with a clarion dxz855mp deck with my laptop wired into the aux input (with a custom preamp thats got dual opamps that split into singles, so double amplification) and a mount for the laptop that completely folds up so u could never tell it was there. Exterior mods? well cf hood, rear sedan handles so no door locks, shaved trunk (H and lock), gunmetal headlights and smoked tails. Other interior mods are, power windows, locks, and changing the carpet on the doors to silver vinyl, i also put the vinyl in the rear (which on a 2 door is a F UCKING BITCH). Now comes rims, lip kit, drop and selling crack out of my trunk to pay for everything.

I got my 2002 EX coupe last summer used and I was 20. It replaced my 95 saturn with about 130k miles that was using more oil than gas at that point. Decided to go for a honda rather than fix the seals on that car. I put new rims in tires on it within a week, because I hate how flimsy steel rims are. Past that ive just been recovering fincial and going to start with the suspension once i get the money.

blouisgod 04-03-2006 02:00 PM

Got the car new with 20 miles on it in 8-2001 when I was 21. Still got it, just running it til I need a new car, I like no car payments. I've got enough for a 40K+ ride but Im working on getting a condo or something else, well see. Now Im 26 lol, why o why...
