Default Just bought a new car!!!!

Hey!

Im really new to this board and i just bought a new car! Its a 2000 Honda Civic Si Coupe (29,000 Miles / EBP). It seems that this board is more aimed at hatchbacks but o well.

Is there any pointers i could possibly get from you guys about driving it and some tips/tricks/maintence/etc. The car already came with some pretty decent stuff.

-17" Chrome Team Dynamics MotorSport Wheels
-205/40/17 Tires
-Eibach Prokit 1" Springs
-Sylvania Silverstar Headlamp Bulbs
-Ziebart undercoat
-Sports Pedals
-Indigo 2 Color White Face Gauges
-AEM Short Ram Air Intake - Not Installed
-Tinted Windows

Im also thinking of the I/H/E bolt on upgrades. Any recommendations

THANKS!

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by eh6 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The EG+ Civic / Del Sol forum is probably the most redundant forum on this site. The same question is asked at least 3 times a day. "What do you guys think I should do with my car?" "What's the weight in a 94 Del Sol si?" Then there's the more cliche one "Hey everyone I just bought a POS Honda! I'm new and I don't realize my thread is going to be locked but not before 2 or so people welcome me to the world of Honda. Then flamed by a few hundred people, that are probably noobs themselves, for not pertaining this statement to any tech at ALL!" - SEARCH BITCHES!!! Sorry I had to say it.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Not saying your car is a P.O.S. but still man, search around. Oh and I say go for a turbo setup.

Welcome. Definatly dump the wheels. What do you want to do with the car? Drag? Autox? Street? Show? If it's any of the first 3, you're in no better place. If it's the last, you're in for the thrashing of your life.

really depends on how much money you want to spend on your car, and how fast you want to make it. I would ditch the 17s and go boost.
