finally.

my car finally made it to the car wash last night for the first time ever with 3,659 miles and it's like 6 weeks old now. it's still pretty grimy but it's as clean as it will probably get for the next 2 months or so, so I decided to snap a couple pictures for the hell of it.

even though it's a gay little economy car, I actually like it a lot. lots of cool features to play with, really tight handling and super cheap to own, especially compared to some of my past vehicles.

only things I've done so far are pull the DRL fuse, jumper the clutch so that I can start it without the pedal, and remove the rear CIVIC badge and the big i-VTEC DOHC decals on the back doors. Vibrant StreetPower catback is on the way, perhaps a few others goodies soon did I mention it weighs under 2,900 lbs?










never got around to cleaning the engine bay, obviously...

oh and I felt like I should share this because I still talk about this car all the time, but most of you have never seen it. I miss this car, 2004 Sonic Blue GT, fully loaded. Mustang haters, enjoy!

Looking good David!!!

lol I know, but getting 10-14mpg daily driven wasn't all that much fun.

^^^ what the hell was the matter with that getting that kind of mileage or was it to the floored all the time? Looked nice though.

one question why disconnect the clutch switch?

other then that nice car do they make it "for men" too LOL j/k

3.73's, full-bolt-ons, heavy foot. it briefly had a turbo on it as well at which point I got like 6-7 mpg because it was full boost everywhere lol.

just because that way I can just lean in and start it when I have to brush/scrape off my windows and stuff like that. my back still isn't the best and my knee isn't all that great either so it's a pain in the ass to get in, start it, then get up again. so basically because I'm lazy and it was easy to do/easily reversible. I did it with a paper clip and like 4" of electrical tape.

and no I don't think so that's why it needs window tint!

rims, tint and drop and it would look pretty sweet. i like the interior alot though

that's pretty much the plan. 20% tint sides and rear, 50% on the windshield, coilovers, special brilliant coating Enkei RPF-1 18's and a stance similar to this, but not quite as slammed or wide:


I'm hoping to have tint, exhaust, intake, wheels/tires and suspension collected by the time summer comes around. probably a HID bi-xenon projector retrofit as well. I really love spending like $250 a month on gas compared to the Jeep's $900-$1000 lol

Makes more sense now. You must drive a shit ton. The goat gets a $240 a month allowance including weekly touch-less washes in the winter...... gas guzzler taxed car too.

you like blue cars dont you

are black tail lights in the plans? also the interior looks really nice (got nothing on my 94 f body tho )

I do. although I have no idea why. I've had the car just over 6 weeks and it's getting close to 3800 miles now I think. costs $35 to fill it up with 93 though.

maybe. it's iffy because out of the two cars I've had with tinted tails, I've gotten pulled over for both of them and the ones on the Mustang weren't that dark. plus every 8th gen Civic I've seen with sprayed tails just looked plain trashy. they make an overlay in orange or red that goes over the clear blinker but not the reverse light, and I may just do that.

and of course, 90's GM interior is the definition of style. I can't top that.

that car looks awesome. good route to take. any go fast things in the future or just looking pretty. lol

probably. just gotta wait out the warranty first.

NEVER!! My warranty was gone by 10K miles. Don't be scared, it's a honda and they never break anyway

haha you have to remember who is driving it. I break everything. but these cars are known for like 1 out of every 3 or 4 or something having problems staying in 3rd gear which is really my only concern. Honda is stingy about this and seems to like finding ways out of replacing it under warranty so I want to wait it out and see if that's going to be an issue before I do anything that may void it.

Looks Good Nig Nog

Nice ride, I've always liked these newer Civics, they are pretty quick stock as well!
