Been on this site for almost 3 years and I've never even put my a thread for my Integra in the Member Rides forum, but heck....here's my Civic!

2005 EX, manual, paid $14,100 with 34K on it.




I love this car, rides so smooth and quiet, and even has a little pep (it's 129 HP, 1.7L). This is the newest car I've ever owned, never owned a car less than 5 years old. It's so nice to be back in a Honda and out of that POS Sentra. I got 35.5 mpg on my first full tank in this car, not bad at all. I'm gonna keep it quiet and comfy too, no engine mods. But I do plan on doing:
-K&N drop in filter
-OEM fogs
-OEM rear spoiler
-Drum to disc rear brake conversion
-Avital 4400 alarm/remote start combo
-Stereo system, though this OEM system isn't half bad, heh

I can put my SSR's on this car too, so that's cool. I may do a sway bar upgrade in the future too, I just need to see what's out there for this car as far as aftermarket, I may do other small things, but those 5 are on the to-do list right now. I never realized how stiff my Teg's clutch pedal really is until I drove this car for a few days then got back in the Teg, I was really suprised. The shift throw is much shorter in the Teg too, and I haven't done a short throw shifter, it's always been stock.

I've always loved the 2 door body style, particularly the 04-05's after the exterior upgrades from the 01-03's.
I like the 06+'s too, but they're more expensive of course, and $14K was more than I really wanted to pay for a second car in the first place. I pulled the trigger on this particular Civic because it's everything I want. Like, if I were to have bought a Civic back in 2005, this car is exactly what I would have bought. The color/2 door body style/EX model/manual, also the car is in fantastic physical condition inside and out....so that's why I went ahead and bought it. It's just all around perfect for me, except for no rear spoiler, hehe.

Last week on Thursday. I put down $1,500, they gave me $3,000 of the $3,600 I still owed on the Sentra, I'll be paying $261 a month, 5 year loan.
Here's something to make you younger cats sick to your stomach. Full coverage on the Civic, full coverage on the Integra = $1,004 for a year. WORD!
Thank you Amica, screw you Progressive.

This Civic has alot less body roll than the Sentra, and the Sentra had a front sway bar, dunno if there was one in the rear.

No wait, sorry, I sold my '90 Celica using Autotrader. Sold it to a hispanic kid from Mass., got 5 G's for it, then took that money and paid off the Teg 2-3 months after I bought it. I found the Celica at the Toyota dealership in Concord. anyway

Nice car man, I never thought I would have gotten a newer car either till the mazda, it's so nice when everything works and there's no sqeaks or vibrations. But once again very clean, nice find.

i say you just make this one look nice and handle a bit better.. my dad has the 2002 ex.. clutch is much softer, shifter is a lot longer, it's slower than my car (Thank god, I'm faster than someone.) I really like the coupes from 01-06.

Dad's Car:
K&N FIPK Intake
GReddy Evo 2 Exhaust
Eibach Sportlines
250 Watt JL Amp
10" JL Sub
18" Enkei MM2
