Matt's Daily Driven FG3

[JDMxDB8]

Hey everyone,

Here's my new daily driver! It's a 2012 Honda Civic LX Coupe (FG3). The lease on my GE8 was coming up so I decided to trade her in early to pick up a new car so I wouldn't have to pay the penalty charges for overage on the mileage. My first and second choice was to get an Si or CR-Z, but it was just out of my budget. So I ended up with an FG3. Overall, I'm really happy with my choice. It's a well built machine from what I've experienced so far. It looks great, the chassis is extremely rigid, and it has more power than my GE8, which also a plus. Can't forget to mention that it's a 5-Speed. (Damn I missed driving stick...) I have a few plans lined up for the future. Already have a set of wheels waiting to get installed, but I won't put them on until I get some coilovers.

Engine/Drivetrain:
R18Z1
5-Speed manual transmission
Buddy Club Racing Spec oil cap
Buddy Club Racing Spec radiator cap
K&N drop-in air filter
Spoon Sports magnetic drain plug set

Suspension:
Buddy Club N+ Spec Damper
Eibach Pro-Alignment kit

Brakes:

Wheels/Tires:
Work Emotion 11R Red (17x8 +35)
Federal 595 (225/45/17)
Work RS Red lug nut set

Exterior:

Interior:
Spoon Sports Duracon 5-Speed shift knob

Here are a couple of pictures. I'll post more later. :thumbs up

Yeah the 9th Gen Civics look great. I prefer the coupe to the sedan though. The FG3 is definitely bigger than the GE8, but it's not as big as my Dad's Accord. I already miss my GE8's cargo space.

I parted the GE8 out. Sold a few items already. I wanted the Si, but it was out of my budget. It was going to be $30k OTD.

Negative. The Emotion CR-Kais are currently for sale.
