Welcome to H-T.

Any pics?

And also, if you have any questions, use the search function first.
And if you still can't find an answer just post here.

I know but I bought it specifically to drive over an hour each way to work, so I dont wanna put a lot of money in it. Its cute and I like it for now, but when its paid off Im definitely getting something different.


But I do agree, if I had the money right now, it would be on its way to getting its swap.

welcome...sounds like you have a decent head on your shoulders. You will learn to love the EM2. They are great cars in stock form as far as headaches go.

I freakin LOVED my Z. But I didnt love the $500/month car payment.

Its definitely a change going from a Z to a Civic, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I disagree with some of the others. To be completely realistic, H-T kicks *** for every other generation of civic but the 7thgen. There are a few other forums out there that have some pretty damn knowledgeable members.

But beyond that, welcome, I guess. I'm a n00b on this site as well, according to the annoying avatar.
