I know I just really like the stis and evos. AWD and turbo cant beat it. Found a few that are nice just gotta see what Ill get for the truck. Right now its 27000 and owe 19000. So 8 grand to put towards a different car lol. Just gotta wait and see if the atv sells.
Have you given any thoughts to the genesis? Also lol, you could be one of the first with a 2012 civic si.

Ive read the 2012 civic has a welded to the head exhaust manifold like the R18 so no header change. Not lieking that

But I have looked at the genesis but I cant help but think its a hyundai tiberoun just new. Also the evo and sti have lots of head room and 4 doors which is what Im looking for now. Fast and fun 4 door car.

I cant recall. I just know that I read it was going to certain things and I wasnt too happy about it. More so the fact that it said it was going to look something like the newer accords. I wanna see one in person though before I make any judgement calls.

Does anyone know when the Si will be out?

Some people love em others hate em... i wanted projector headlights and I really don't like the price or look of retro's. I think the oem red tails look horrible on the black, again, imo. These tails actually look kinda like the TL typeS tails, thats why I got them. I know alot of people like keeping the car as OEM as possible and if I ever get sick of them I kept both the stock head/tail lights to go back to. I also wanted HID's and the stock reflectors look like crap with them.

To answer your question:

I/H/E Flashpro, short shifter, Tein springs, upper/lower tie bars, Skunk2 rear camber arms, progress rear sway bar, tints, and some other small mods. The GP's I just got and i luv them too. Thx for the comment. nice to meet you.

Naw, I went in Photoshop. Picked a font I liked, Got USMC (hollow with woodland marpat in it) and Semper Fidelis under it in semi fancy writing. Its on my right arm. Can't see it with a shirt on. I wanted a tattoo that no one else had, so I made it unique.

Just came up on a good deal, so decided to jump on it. Not going to mod it too much but I fell in love with the gas mileage.

Gave up the soccer mom car for a high performance machine lol



But my first love was my truck


Anyways its been a while since ive been on a forum, cant wait to deal with the melting pot of personalities.

Default New owner of a 2011 Civic Si sedan

Wassup everyone..

Well, I am a new owner of a black 2011 Civic Si sedan w/ navigation. I just purchased the last one in southern California today (04/21/11). It was from Hardin Honda in Anaheim. They were a pain to deal with, because they did not want to deal with me since they knew they were the only dealership in SoCal to have a black Si sedan w/ navigation.

Here is a secret for those of you who want to buy a black 11 Si sedan w/ navigation. There is only one more brand new one left in the entire State of California. There's also two red w/ Nav and one white with Nav in SoCal. PM me and I will tell you. Haha.

Other then that the car rides great! My car before this was a 2006 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport truck and I also have a 07 BMW 335i coupe. I must say the Civic Si is more fun to drive then my E92 right now. Maybe because it's brand new. I have had numerous Honda's and Acura's in the past, but never a brand new one like this. My first one was in 1996 and it was Honda CRX Si. What a great car!

Anyhow, glad that I finally purchased it and it feels great that this was the last one in SoCal. It feels good to be back in the Honda Community once again.

Pictures of my stock Si will be posted later.
