***OFFICIAL 8th Gen General Discussion/Rant/INTRODUCTIONS Thread***
This thread is to cut down all the off topic, non-technical related chit-chat in this forum. This is similar to the s2k and 7th gen's subforums that have general discussion threads. Some of you will just say to go to gdd for stuff like this, but as for many of you know, gdd is practically it's own site and almost has no ties with anything pertaining to Hondas. This thread is for discussion of anything 8th gen related or not, ranting on anything 8th gen related or not, and of course our favorite: "hey I'm new and just got a new civic just saying hi" intro threads.
This thread will be monitored so normal forum etiquette WILL BE OBSERVED. NOOBS: Introduce yourselves here, there is NO need for a techless thread introducing yourself. Without limiting the foregoing, the following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

Is it true that they only issue tickets to cars registered in az? I have yet to receive a ticket. |
Re: ***One & ONLY Official 8th Gen General Discussion/Rant/Intro Thread***
Tickets for what? Moving violations?
Arizona sounds a lot like New Hampshire. "Live free or die" |

There's a lot of crazy shit in Arizona. No mandatory helmet laws, no need for a concealed weapons license, or that photo enforcement zones.

Re: ***One & ONLY Official 8th Gen General Discussion/Rant/Intro Thread***
so i will add my first rant. more like a thunderstorm.
what is the deal with seibon?? they dont deal with direct public?? wtf kinda sh*t is that? since this is the case, this will be the last time i deal with seibon. im going to deal with fiber images because they deal with direct public and i like the direct interaction between manufacturer and consumer a lot better than having to do third party bs. so most of you dont know my case so i will elaborate. i bought cf fenders for my 08 si coupe, and they didnt end up fitting for sh*t. now i tell my dealer about it and he told showstoppers and ss told seibon, then seibon told ss, and then my dealer, and then me. (illustrating the 3rd party transactions) i dont understand this whole situation that i have to go through the trouble of removing my fenders once again which took a few hours to do because of random shit not coming off the way they should have or breaking clips. then taking pics of how the fenders don't fit. and i have to send them to my dealer, then he has to forward them to ss, then to seibon. seriously wtf is the deal?!?!? i wouldnt complain about them if they didnt f*cking fit! cf fenders was the thing i wanted most for my car next to my coilovers, and rims, but now it looks like i wil lbe sticking to oem fenders unless fiber images makes some which they claim "won't sell" which is bs because seibon cf fenders for 8th gens go on backorder within the first 2 weeks of a shipment coming in. man i hate how things work in this world. anyways, back to work. ill be lokoing forward to others' thoughts on this. :mad: |

Your carbon fiber pieces don't fit?
Cliffs: Seibon. Your carbon fiber pieces were cracked? Cliffs: VIS. Seibon probably does not deal with the public because of that very reason. They know their product is trash, and rely on dealers to deal with the public. (They call them dealers for a reason) |
Re: ***One & ONLY Official 8th Gen General Discussion/Rant/Intro Thread***
There are lots of variables in the quality control of carbon pieces.

when you guys pull up to a new corvette z06 (500hp 7 liter V8) or one of the new mustang cobras (500 hp ??liter supercharged v8) does it make you feel like you're in a geo metro? LOL
it's very humbling for me.. |

Well after about 2 months straight of little more than .1" of rain total.....it decides to pour 2 days after I wax and detail my car for a good two hours. F**kin Texas weather. I'm pissed.
/rant. :beer: |
Re: ***One & ONLY Official 8th Gen General Discussion/Rant/Intro Thread***
I don't really view them the same.
I may very well test them, to see see how far their driver will push it. But, I consider them to be sports/muscle cars, much different than the econo-sport we drive. Also, when you look at what our cars do hp/L wise in comparison, ours are actually much more impressive. |

Same here. I did a full detail on my car before I drove back to az for school. I strapped on the front mask for the trip. The next day mother nature decides to open the flood gates.
F mother nature. |
Re: ***One & ONLY Official 8th Gen General Discussion/Rant/Intro Thread***
My car spends < 5 mins in the rain, and its covered in mud. And I'm talking about the roof and the windows, not just the sides. I have no idea how. It must rain mud.
