Just wanted to say "hi". I'm back to high revving engines after being married to a really ugly Volvo that sucked my soul and wallet. Used to own first and third generation Integras. Now I'm back to Honda with the Si sedan.
My mods: booster seats in the back with matching barf bags.
niice car man. I wanted to get a newer si but i love the hatchback look and the newer ones are out of my price range--so i ended up getting an 04 Civic si.
I thought I'd post something useful for people who can't afford a new car or a new paint job. There is a huge thread from some time ago on a moparts board about hand painting a car with rust paint and a roller. The effects were quite amazing. The story starts with a guy from Canada that painted his charger with Tremclad (in the US it is called Rustoleum). I'm older and more established, so I can afford the new car, but I was young and poor not so long ago, and can appreciate this effort. I read through every single thread, and was amazed. It is actually a lost art.
Anyone interested in painting their civic for $50 should read these posts. Enjoy!
