Bro...
bro... set yourself up financially. Nice cars will always be around to drive. One thing I’ve noticed- guys that hold off on buying nice cars when young are able to buy much nicer cars once they’re financially established.
Pay the loan. I know it sucks. But you’ll thank yourself later.
Why don’t you guys drive and enjoy your CTRs more? I mean, I understand if it’s a high end exotic or something... but this is a Civic. A fancy Civic, but a Civic nonetheless.
For the cost of getting $2000 more when you sell, you’re denying yourselves the pleasure of enjoying what you already...
Truth be told... even selling at MSRP is kind of bullshit. Most any car sells below MSRP. Dealerships are still making a killing when selling at MSRP. Good for them. Bad for us. :P
The only thing that intrigued me was those two small painted plastic pieces that fill in the front fake grilles on either side. But like mentioned... they don’t really do anything. And I’m not sure how they’re held in place, since the OEM fake vents are still there. I’m guessing they get screwed...
So I'm a retard for not coming up with asinine assumptions about Japanese car manufacturers? LOL.
And I'm the keyboard warrior? You're the one calling me a retard, LOL. Did someone get butthurt when I said they were on drugs? Awww...
And yes, those vortex generators do something. Get an...
I think you’re missing the fundamental point that a 15 minute test drive won’t reveal much, and OP isn’t going to spend his test drive getting in and out 20 times. Some shit isn’t exactly obvious. And again, the CTR seats are as comfy as they come.
There’s about 46000 different scenarios one should think about prior to buying a car. Was OP supposed to sit there with a pen and paper and write everything down, then score them in what’s most important to least?
Most people would never do that.
OP bought a car that he wanted and liked. It...
It’s not the constant sitting that is an issue. The seats are super comfy. But they are rather deep.
I’m a fit guy, hit the gym 5-6 days a week, 10% body fat, and I never skip leg day. And yet I can find the civic seats to get annoying after the 9th or 10th time I’m getting in and out, in the...
What was the Issue with the harness? I recently checked and didn’t see any outstanding recalls on my car (hey, I’m a sucker for free manufacturer approved repairs :D), but I’m curious to know a bit more about this
You're on drugs. Name me two cars that come from the factory in any drift setup, VIP or stance. Go ahead, I'll be here all day.
What the aftermarket does has nothing to do with what the OEMs do.
If you do get your hood repainted, I highly highly highly recommend you get paint protection film on your car afterwards. It’s literally worth it’s weight in gold and will preserve your paint for years to come. It’s not bullet proof and can be damaged too, but personally, I’d rather replace film...
Curious in how you drive... What rpm do you generally cruise at, how often do you engage VTEC, how often do you redline the car?
Just curious, as I'm sure similar driving habits will net similar results.
What oil were you using?
Sad to see you sell it, but I understand why. Those are some deep bolstered seats and getting in and out 30 times a day can be a pain in the ass.
Nice job in staying in the Honda family, though. Did you get hosed on your trade in?
I can't say that I've ever noticed turn in being an issue on good performance tires. I remember my RE-11/RE-11A days... Shiiiet... Yeah they had sidewall, but my god were those tires ever fucking stiff. I looked at an old worn out set a couple weeks ago and I had 3 nails in the tires... Not a...
I dunno about you guys, but I'd take a mint 2001 Integra Type R, entirely unmodded and on stock wheels, over one with $4000 wheels and some mods.
Sure the wheels are boring, lame, heavy and nothing special whatsoever, but shiiiet... They're original to the car!!
The wheel size/weight impact had never been more apparent to me than on my 1992 Civic Si hatchback, way back in the day. At a whopping 125hp and a curb weight under 2400lbs, any reduction at the wheels was hugely felt.
I went from the stock Steelie 14s, to stupid size 17s for a short bit, down...
