Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
thats nice, what kinda numbers does it put down? i heard they have the new 1.8 liter d series out now, is it in your car?
|
Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
I think the engine is R18 & I just got it yesterday so no dyno. the car is a blast to drive even though it's just a DX. It's amazingly torquey for a honda & so quick & responsive.

Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
the engine looks like a pita to work on. its nice to have a new car though.
|
Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
maybe i missed it, but... Where is the turbo on that thing... oh wait...
|
Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**

Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
the boomerang E-brake is pretty cool looking
|
Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
awesome. i test drove a new dx. nice interior, trunk was huge, and for something like 5g's or so less than the Si its peace. twas kinda slow, but faster than the solara. it was black though. really pimp. but i really really like the red gauges of the Si over the blue of every other one. but i decided to actually have some money rather than be broke bc of car payments, so no Si for me

do you guys get the Acura CSX down there? they just brought it out up here in Canada and it's basically a civic 4dr w/ restyled exterior w/ a k20 (base RSX).

Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
i was all dirty and oily at the honda dealer gettin a gasket and i stopped and looked over at the showroom on the way out, decided to go touch all over the si sittin there, sat in it and poped the hood, that engine bay looks super gay to work in.. the engine is like half under the windshield. the seats were way nice. i want to drive one. i like the front alot, looks sorta like a tsx or somthin, back is ok

Imagine what these engines would put out without such a restrictive exhaust system. Looks like honda it trying to kill the aftermarket support and make you buy a Si or Acura. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...14sva6_e10.gif http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...14sva6_e04.gif |

Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**

|
Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
Give a call to Aaron, ask him to fab up an adapter plate and slap a t3 on that biotch

Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
I find it hard to believe that the car doesn't come standars with a radio
|
Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
That motor is definitely not a D. As said earlier its a new variant. The R.
1.8L sohc with 140ish hp and more torque than an LS? Thats all I remember... you can google those facts up pretty easy. Oh its also has a timing Chain not belt. |

Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
drive by wire = electronic throttle control. the gas pedal is no long connected to a cable that goes to the throttle body. now it's all done electronically. making the car much smoother and less things to break. all bmw have them & the 06 s2000 have it as standard.
about the radio....who here keep their stock radio anyway? out of all of my used cars, the first thing i ever do to them is trash the oem radio and get myself a pioneer head unit. |
Re: Bought a new daily driver yesterday!!!! **PICS**
the car is EXTREMEly fun to drive. extremely responsive steering response, it feels so quick and nimble, the drive by wire makes it so much smoother than conventional. also, honda revised the civics so now, the car is very very torquey down low but suffer on the top end. but i def prefer torque down low for stop & go than high end, it makes the car extremely fun. all for $14k. i love it.
i can see why it's named car of the year. |
