nice car, but i'm one of those people who have my hand on the shifter at all times, can you reach it with your elbow on the armrest?

Theres no arm rest, the shifter feels and work just like a normal shifter but it's about 6-7" higher than a normal shifter if you take the proportion into consideration, I don't mind it at all, it forces you to have your two hands on the wheel (or you can keep it on the shifter).

Congratz. I've never seen the ep3 in red. btw I love the ep3's. Any plans? The shifter is an awesome feeling and I know what you mean about the seats and steering wheel. just don't spill anything on the suede.

enjoy and hate. I believe I'll hate. It has an erection and the air filter seems to be in the wrong place. It also resembles a midget minivan ![]() ![]() Now for the Enjoyment; It's new, it gets done what you need done, and it isn't a stang' (Rarenes value = 0) Rare, and has a pretty color too it. As long as you're happy, that's what matters most.

I think it's rare because it's unpopular. LOL
j/k I don't know if it is or not... it's not my bag but I think it's excellent that you got a car you're so happy with. Say what you will about Hondas, they're still outstanding cars and have probably just as much going for them in terms of reliability and quality as Toyotas do. I just happen to be Toyota girl. I'm gonna have to side with D-Man on that weird erection thing though. I'm not sure I could show that thing to people and keep a straight face. ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

congrats.. those gen civics are nice when they're cleanly modded.. i see a few here on cruise nights. definitely the shifter lookss rather awkward but being high mounted it is very functional.. still my fav are the newer Si's. i drove my friends and instantly fell in love with the k20 and especially the 6spd gearbox.

yea it looks too much like a minivan.
Am I the only one who loves the shifter? This shifter was designed for racing in mind to have minimal distance between the steering wheel and the shifter. |

Yea buddy. Welcome to the club..lol. Yea..in Canada its an SIR and the SI was the coupe...or in the US it was an SI as the hatch, and EX as the coupe.
I want your intake though..i hate my stupid cold air intake. my engine bay looks retarded cuz it comes off the throttle body and just dives down..so i got this big empty gap in my engine bay. Now, u just gotta lower it, through some wheels on and exhaust and your set. and for thouse of you who havent seen mine yet.... ![]() This post has been edited by Valo666: Aug 10, 2008 - 2:34 PM |

I think it's rare because it's unpopular. LOL DING! i wouldn't call it rare. i see many of those around when i travel. it may be rare in canada but for sure not here in the states. not many people like it because europeans made it, not the japanese. also, something to do with the suspension not being sporty enough. something like that. me, eh, i like it but it's a honda so ill pass ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

Haha I want a civic like that :'( I kind of forgot how backward the K20 was.. its been a while since I've seen one anyways. Makes me kind of wish I could afford a teggy (RSX) or CSX but than I realize that would make me more of a ricer. ![]() -------------------- ![]() (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.

Great civic for you I suppose. Not that anyone cares, but I am kinda anti-Honda. The only Honda I would seriously buy and fix up with be an Ek9 Civic Hatchback.
Eventually Civic Hatchbacks will surface and not be as rare as the celica. Sorry to burst the bubble. Here, it took us 6 years a before we begin to seriously get Ek9's. Even though we don't have a whole lot, there is still a considerable amount, as opposed to when they first came out and the lack we had here. Enjoy your Honda, some say Hondas have the best transmissions around. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
