    Default So, been in the car scene for 11 years. Tonight I bought my first Honda.



    god its so slow

    ... still though, the gas mileage.. WHY DIDNT YOU ASSHOLES TELL ME THEY WERE THIS GOOD? I mean, I know they got great mpg but fuck people. I've put over 100 miles on it tonight and the needle has maybe moved a notch?

    It's a 96 with a 2000 front end with who the hell knows how many miles because it has an EM1 SI cluster that says 113k with an S2000 wheel -_- cheap ebay springs

    Also when I bought 10 minutes before this picture, both HID headlights worked. After this picture, I started it up... passenger headlight doesnt work now

    ... sigh :boobies:

    Is that the big box brick thingy the size of a cigarette box? I tapped it and shook it, was sort of just wedged between the intake and fender.

    Civic hatchback is one of the best cars ive ever owned......

    not my favorite car, not the coolest car, not the fastest car....... but one of the best means of transportation.

    isa2o3 did his d-series turbo setup for like ~700 bux total, made for a fun EK

    Hondas are awesome DD's, fuel economy pwns, cheap insurance, even maintenance and repair-wise waay cheaper.

    Get rid of that God-awful "time attack" stripe on the wheels and the red badge!!! Car looks decent otherwise. Nice and straight and clean. Makes me want a newer Honda.

    I hope to fucking God you plan on taking those "HIDs" out asap. People with HIDs in reflectors should be hit in the face with a billyclub on site. I know you just bought it, but the PO needs a good punch to the face.

    I enjoyed my little civic when it ran correctly (boosted), it got great mpg's and was relatively comfortable. Dont miss the thought of it being stolen though.

    it has an alarm, which also has a killswitch hooked to it that if triggered when the alarm is armed kills power to the fuel pump.

    There's also another two kill switches, one for the fuel pump and the other to the ignition. I think the PO knew about how people enjoy playing "hide the civic"
