:lmfao: nah but really tho, i hate commuting in the si, its a fun car, but i just wanna chill with the import scene, ill still be around, but i got nothing to prove, except that whatever i drive, itll be pretty.

i never raced anyone, i just laugh at them, but im pushin 30, the next "fast" car i get will most likely have 400 plus hp and most likely AWD. So for now im just gonna pimp out the commuter!

You should've just kept your Si; it looks alot prettier and F*** all the people who try to race you.. just CRUISE.... aha That's what I do all the time..@ least look good from point A to point B. Use the speed only when you need it...But if you're worried about future costs... I understand your decision. :goodjob:

i dunno this seems to be a case of a ni66a goin broke to me. Couldnt afford the si anymore so you had to trade it for something cheaper, civic. I mean cmon you tired of people trying to race....just dont race and enjoy the entertainment.......****** going broke thats all this is.........




LMAOROFL im jk man, good luck with the 4. Just waaaaaaaay different from an si although it really isnt if you feel me? Gas mileage should be better-lol

money, def not the issue, anyone who knows me knows that, but all jokes aside, the si wasnt a friggin supercar and i was just saying that i didnt have anything to prove with the si, i liked it, shiit, i built it from the ground up, but i wanted something else, know what i mean.

07-14-2008, 10:15 PM
So you got rid of a very clean new SI and bought a 4 door and put some stuff on it? You will get more ricers rev at you in that then you would a new SI, Sorry... But not a wise exchange IMO, That SI was very nice dropped.

nice finally get to see it. your gay ass needs to come out, or at least lengthen the leash. haha. naw man who cares, the si looked so good, but it wont be hard to make this one look even better. i like it, but go lower once you get some wheels. and then you can call this one "the hotness" as well.

yeah, thats the first thing everyone thought, that my wife was preggo, but i assure everyone she is not!

Listen guys, i just got tired of shifting and tracking jam takeoffs, i want something that can still look good, a honda, and a automatic. i could have very well bought another coupe and made it look exactly like the si, but that woulda been lame.

I feels you man .. I was just in that mood last night, you know when you just feel like annoying people on the forums? lol

At least you can ride 5 deep to the club now, & comfortably at that + looking JDM tizzite!

Nice new civic.

ATLem1
07-15-2008, 10:35 PM
first off.. you had one of the hottest si coupe i've seen. :goodjob:
second.. i can totally understand your decision. i really want an si 4 door myself, but im 30+ and can live without shiftin'. plus with the rising gas prices....i could live without some k20ness.. if they would have made a automatic 4dr si (like a tsx) it would be in my garage right now. im torn between making the "fake Si", aka the 36mpg, lx auto 4dr with all the si cosmetic goodies.. or just gettin the real deal so i can just drive it as is bone stock. ricers just need to be ignored.
but anyways.. im sure its gonna look good regardless. :cheers:

I'd rather whip that si, but it's not like the thing is a supercar(unless you had some madness under that hood). Nothing wrong with the sedan, just get some shoes and ride out.

How do you go from a si, which has all the bells and whistles you could want, to an lx...DOesent make sense to me, but its your car..... Happy modding

08-08-2008, 01:54 AM
Well since i'm the one who bought the car, i won't complain about you selling ha.

But the sedan is coming along good and is deff clean.. as if i'd expect less from you ha.

but ya we should take some pictures of our cars together with ur B.A. camera soon. just hit me up whenever.

IndianStig
08-08-2008, 01:59 AM
unless you got a hell of a deal i don't know why you would get a base civic over maybe a 2004-2005 TL if you want a car to just chill in. Same price range if that civic is 1 year old.

I like the Si. 4dr auto civic's are meant to be left stock and driven for gas mileage...to each his own though. undoubtedly, it's a nice car to ride in, i'd prolly rock it for gas mileage if i had a weekend car but an econobox for a "chill" car....not so much. depends how you define chill i guess.

you really think that the ricers are gonna leave you alone because you got a 4 door? Its still a modded civic. You will still get attention in it...That being said, I like the SI more.

Ok...I've only owned sports cars (93' 300zx, 96' Lude Si) so yea. Besides my first ever car which was a 91 accord and I put nothing but reg 87 in it. And for your info I'm negative repped because I said pigs in a cage about a cop that was blocked in and QD neg repped me all the way for some reason. Before that I had a lot of postive rep. Don't know why you attacked me when I didnt insult you and all these other people are calling you stupid and you havent said a word to them.

08-19-2008, 05:29 PM
there is no performance advantage what so ever running a higher octane gas in a car if its not tuned for it. but it is better to run higher octane if possible. its more refined, hence the higher rating so its cleaner gas... its not gonna hurt you per-say to run 87 but it is better to run higher octane if possible. thats also not to say you should go buy 110 lol.

Umm... no. my lx's motor (r18) is not designed to run on anything above 87, that being said tell me what the benefits are of me running a higher octane are when honda engineers tell me not to as it is not good for my motor.
