Default Just bought a 2003 I4 EX

Hi all, just got an 03 EX two weeks ago and as I do with all my cars, I joined the forum to learn from other owners. It is my "Green/fuel" economy car and I hope to drive it for a long while.

Nice! great choice in fuel economy and pretty decent reliability.

One thing i recommend if you plan to keep it stock. Is change the air filter to a K&N drop in. 50 bucks but you can recharge it unlike those cardboard cheap-o air filters.

Thanks ZM. I will do as you've recommended on the filter bit and I plan to keep it stock except for the remote possibility that I may change the wheels/or tires to something slightly bigger/or wider as it currently has the 205/60/16.

Would the current 16 inch rims on the car accommodate tires of the 215 size?

My friend's law firm had 2 Honda cars they used for field work (the 03 Accord and an 04 CRV) that they wanted to sell so I paid $6000 for both. The Accord has slightly over 125K miles.
