Default I Sold My Car and Bought...

A 2002 Civic Si in Satin Silver.

I love it!

While it's not as fast as my B18C5-powered CX hatch, I think I'm already liking the new one even better STOCK!

I'll have pics of the new one soon, but here's a few last "parting shots" of my beloved 1992 CX:



Nevermind the shitty quality - it makes my head look messed up and also makes my fiancee's face look blocky! The black hatch is hers, while the silver one WAS mine.

She didn't want me to post that because it looks messed up



I'll have pics up soon of my new project.

I love my 2002 Civic Si!!!

This must be some kind of mean joke. JUST MEAN!!!

Either way, I actually like the new civic, but wouldn't dare buy one unless it was the R.

But even if you REALLY did sell your EG, I don't blame you. You were done.

When you are done, its no more fun. Time to get something else, something newer, something more comforatable. Something to drop in a RSX-S motor with 6sp!

I did the green/green combo on purpose because that pic was taken during filming for some street footage video. I thought it'd be funny as hell, and it was. The crew looked at me like "what in the hell is he wearing?"

I hope this is just a cruel joke. Your car was prolly the biggest inspiration to me ever...

Did you lose a bet to go out and get the Si? I don't believe it has ANYMORE power than the CX whatsoever, I hear such bad **** about em... The only plus you can get out of this is the luxury of a Civic with full interior.... keep us posted man.

Gluck

PS, your woman is HOTT. Let the leghumping begin.

what kinda rims are on the black EG?..they look pretty clean.

If this is for real, only God can imagine what you've got in store for this new toy. keep us posted!

Sure it's not as quick as the CX was, but it does pull nicely IMO. It feels balanced, and I actually like the shifter location and feel

The suspension could be stiffer, but I'll adress that soon enough.

The car ran 13.3@99mph at 1100ft. above sea level. Would have been a 12.9 closer to sea level.

I sold the car to a local daddy's boy for an undisclosed amount.

He was already asking me how to wire up light up washer nozzles and if 18'' wheels would fit.

This had better be a joke. After all the posts of the buildup and all the times you said you'd be keeping this for the long haul I can only assume it's a joke.

A sick joke, at that.

2002 Si--please...

I always liked the look of the new Si. Also, before you know it, there will be plenty performance wise for it. The CX was Sooooo Nice! But hey, sometimes it is just time for a change

Good luck with it Tom!

Oh yeah, the black 1992 Si hatch pictured is my fiancee's.

15x6.5'' Rota Circuit 8 in silver.

I did keep my wheels off my car because that guy already had 17'' wheels for the CX.

The 15'' Rotas did look better on my 1992 CX. They aren't big enough on the new one.
