Yeah the guages look a little odd. I'll bet you could go oldschool and swap a GSR cluster in there anytime though with a little re wiring ;D Car looks great other than that. I'm not a big fan of the wing they put on the Si model. The one in these pictures is alot nicer and subtle. I'd pick one up if I had the cash. Sure beats the EP hatch :D

New si's come out mid december. Or at least at my "local" Honda dealership. I like the new HFP civics. Cant wait to drive the new si.

The new accord/tl 6 cyls have been using the exhaust manifold integrated into the head also. Flange/cat/downpipe.

I like the new sedans. Hate the coupes and si's.

Si won't be out till december accordding to Sport Compact magazine, and with that, they said a possibly rsx type r looks to be released in the US too. IF that's true, then I'm picking one up. >:D

wouldent the direct heat of the turbo damage the alumnium on the head if you just used an adapter plate?. it doesn't take much to burn alumnium up. kinda reminds me of the tc, but i like the tc better.

Our local Honda dealership said they cannot even keep the sedan's in stock. As soon as they roll in, they get sold. I was actually driving up to the parts department and somebody was taking delivery of a sedan..looked pretty good. They said they have only ordered 4 of the new Si's, 2 of which they have sold already. For all of you who say your gonna buy an Si, I don't think your gonna get one anytime soon unless you get some money down on one.

The windshield wipers look like there built for the ------- spaceshuttle. I could live with the front end but the rear is ugly as is the interior. Give me a ef eg or ek hatch any day over that. My next car will be a new tsx :-\

What is the engine code on the new Civic EXs? Is it a D-series D18 something? I saw them last week sometime at a car lot. I like them. ;) ;D

You test drove an auto? Did they take the training wheels off it before you drove it? :P Was it one of those "virtual" test drives? :P

I'd much rather have an older Civic than a newer one. :-\ It doesn't even look like a Honda. :-\
