Nice, what color is that?

flipmoderacer02 10-26-2006 10:55 AM

congrats

ronaldo9 10-26-2006 10:57 AM

Another fortunate bastard. JK I'm just very jealous. Nice ride man. I wasn't feeling the 8th gens but they are starting to grow on me. I wonder what's faster though an 8th gen SI or the RSX type S? Anyone know?

Marin 10-26-2006 11:02 AM

Its Hab Red, i had a 2001 black ex that i gave to my mom now. I love these civics. I think all gen civic look kick ass. There's just something about them.

I've had this one since Jan just did some minor mods on it so far.

chicohonda02 10-26-2006 11:03 AM

type S

Marin 10-26-2006 11:03 AM

I think the type s is a bit faster than the 06 si

Str8UpCivic 10-26-2006 11:05 AM

congrats. looks good

Kaden_23 10-26-2006 11:21 AM

I am so jealous! looks awesome!

YUL 10-26-2006 11:23 AM

how much $$ out the door man?

I'm thinking about it for next year.

Marin 10-26-2006 11:25 AM

out the door was about 26500 canadian. Not sure what that works out to be us.

TemjinX2 10-26-2006 11:42 AM

i believe TOV or edmunds did a comparison awhile back. The Type S is quicker on the 1/4 miles because its around 30lbs lighter, but the Si handles better on the track because of the more refined suspension.

lxcivic2k1 10-26-2006 11:55 AM

Congrats. I want a new car and would love to have the new Si.
Don't the Si's come with HID?

Marin 10-26-2006 11:59 AM

nope, no oem hid on the si. Had to buy a different system. Planning on doing projector retro fit sometime in the future.

the quarter mile time for a type s is 15sec flat while the Si is 15.1sec... so it's really a driver's game...

lucky butt...nic vic man

jaydm21 10-26-2006 12:27 PM

thats a nice color. how is the throttle on it? a friend of mine at the honda dealership here said he test drove one and didn't really like it that much since it has that drive by wire type throttle and he said you couldn't rev match on downshifts. just kind of curious on what others have to say on it because overall i really like the 8thgens. good luck with it man!

Marin 10-26-2006 12:29 PM

The revs used to hang for a fraction of a second when you put the clutch in but it's all a matter of getting used to it. I got it reflased so mine doenst have the rev hang anymore. Either way i didnt really notice a big difference before and after the reflash.

ronaldo9 10-26-2006 12:31 PM

I wonder how many members we've lost that have upgraded rides? It was weird last night I was riding behind this Evo and I was just pretending to be him at the moment wishing I had that car. Then later I looked at my car parked looking really sexy and I said to myself in all honesty. I love my civic. As much as I crave more hp that car has been really good to me with no problems. The only problems I've had was by improperly installing or putting cheap parts on it which I had to replace or fix. I remember a quote someone had a while back it was something like. "A civic is like that old gf you had, when you were with her you wanted better but after she was gone you realized she was the best thing you ever had." There is truth to that statement IMO.

Marin 10-26-2006 12:36 PM

There is and always will be something about the civic. I still get goose bumps when i look at my old 7thgen ex. There's just something about them.

jaydm21 10-26-2006 12:38 PM

i have to agree with ronaldo9's quote, alot of times i see a few supras, evo's, z's and i wish i had one but then i see my civey and i think of all the work i've put into it and then i remember that its so damn close to bein paid for so thats one less bill and i can use that money to work on it more. hopefully after basic and tech school i can get some money up and do a swap. plus if i had an evo or a z then that would put me in alot of trouble.

TheGeneralLee 10-26-2006 12:52 PM

theres a few more pics.

Marin 10-26-2006 12:59 PM

You cant see but there is a dent under the driver side mirror from when a crazy guy attacked me with a squeegie. He's lucky he took off before i could get him.

CLeeNx04CiVic 10-26-2006 01:05 PM

Congrats....nice ride

I would still choose the type s over the si IMO.....

juanotejano 10-26-2006 01:22 PM

You couldn't run the bastard down with your si? Cause that ****er deserves to pay...:mad:

Marin 10-26-2006 01:30 PM

He booked it into the ravine. Besides he was one durty guy probably high on something. Last thing i wanted to do was take him down and prick myself with a needle in his pocket. Believe me i wanted to make him pay.

TRIZ 10-26-2006 03:26 PM

yeah dude, I hate fvkin crackheads... I live in in an apt overlooking an ally and see all these gutter mf'ers, its horrible, I check on my car down in the parking garage everytime I come back to see if someone smashed my window yet, or gave my bumpers some crash-rash from a bad park job. Speaking of crackheads, this dude ditched some drugs when the cops came by... I guess it was a bad thing to do, but I went down and told the cop where to look, the other day he pointed up at me when I was hanging out on my balcony.. "i'ma kick yo ass" shoots! I duck around the other side of the building everytime i need to take my car out.... no chances!

but your crackhead.. "shoulda hit vtech on him," lmao.

ride is sooo dope man.... 7th are still the shyt though, give it up, chea!

soldierboi 10-26-2006 04:55 PM
