So........I got my VIN

[Kevin@nextmod]

As the title said, i finally went over ot the dealership and they gave me my VIN.....WOOT!!! really anxious and looking forward to pick it up. The car will be delivered this week to there dealership but i'll have to wait for them to order my lip kit and my fogs and wait for them to put it on so probably late next week will be in my hands.
This week and next week will be my last days to drive my car and i'll make sure i'll take more pics of it and enjoy every last min. of it.

I'll update some teaser photos when i pick up the car. I'll keep using this thread to update.

[tweak_s]

Congrats man :). Um.... i haven't checked the forums for a few days, which car did you pick up? Was it the Si?

-Andrew

[Kevin@nextmod]

I haven't officially told people what i got, only a few guys that know me asks me on msn that knows.

[tweak_s]

Oh okay.. so you're just keeping us all on suspense eh? fair enough lol.

[Kevin@nextmod]

haha....yea.... just a little fun

[WhiteSpeed3]

i'll have to wait for them to order my lip kit and my fogs and wait for them to put it on so probably late next week will be in my hands.

that gave it away theres pretty much only 1 car on the market that doesnt throw anything in not even fog

Honda Civic Si

Honda Civic Si

What about a Toyota Yaris? I don't think I have seen fogs on them

[Chuckie]

you guys got it all wrong. pearly is getting a base odyssey.. and he's putting in fogs himself.
he told me on msn himself.
skirt kit is going to look pimp man!

[monty0501]

congrats Kevin,
looking forward to seeing it, whatever it is...

[sunnyhomeboy]

oh yeah baby~the excitement of gettin new car...or a van?!!! pimp'd up van jai owns.

[iconicrocket]

I'm guessing Evo X ... even thou it's not available in Canada. lol.

I'm thinking it's probably a GTI?

[Kevin@nextmod]

EvoX is available in canada. One of the post here have pics of it with ontario plates.
I can't afford an Evo ahha...but i would love to get one.

[S.F.W.]

notice how he didn't comment on item #2 in iconicrocket's post...

[PlatMS6]

Hmm so either the GTI or the ultra cheap lease (relative to the rip off before) of the SI

[condor888000]

Don't GTI's come stock with fogs though?

[FLIPDADY]

It better be pearl white.

[Kevin@nextmod]

:)

[Kevin@nextmod]

Hahah......since theres so many giveaways. Yes its a 2008 SI coupe and its white!

I'll make sure i take some clean shots of it before i leave the parking lot in this dirty road conditions.

[Chuckie]

Taffeta?
i thought you said a 4 door.. anyway.. good kill.. i recently heard how much it is to get one now.. and its very tempting proposition for sure.

[sunnyhomeboy]

wonder how much it is...i want to know the price to piss my friend off that is drooling to get one 2 years later...at least he proposes to....

[Kevin@nextmod]

um......leasing is cheap but overall price is not cheap.
With the skirt package and fogs come out to $35000

[yearoftherat]

Yeah it isn't gonna be white anymore...new colour is called dirt. Can't wait to see the new ride. I've sat in a coupe before and it must be made for average asian, not for us 6'4 guys..:complain

[boogie]

um......leasing is cheap but overall price is not cheap.
With the skirt package and fogs come out to $35000

At that price why not an MS3?

[Kevin@nextmod]

I know someone will address that. The reason is i've drove a mazda 3 and i want to try something new. Interest is expensive as well.

[S.F.W.]

I think that is a fine explanation. Just because you have/had a Mazda, doesn't mean you have to stay with them forever.
It's all about personal preference.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Sometimes its not all about the speed. I know the speed 3 is fast but i've drove both cars before but i find the SI to be more fun. Also the only changes to me in the speed 3 is the speed. Everything else seems the same. The SI is something fresh to me.

[Kevin@nextmod]

um......leasing is cheap but overall price is not cheap.
With the skirt package and fogs come out to $35000

Also the SI is 1.5% lease and with $2000 DP and with skirt package, it comes out to $360 plus tax per month. So about $410 per month.

[Tokic_o]

haha oh damn, i got fooled. I thought you got the 4 door Si haha

[PlatMS6]

How much is insurance for you... civic's are generanly on the expensive side

[Kevin@nextmod]

My insurance company dropped down in price for me. I was paying $2300 a year for my mazda. Now its $2100 for 2 door coupe. If i got a 4 door it will be $1900 a year, first driver

[sicsol]

Well Congrats. can't wait to check out the mods on the new ride.

[SpeedBaby]

Sometimes its not all about the speed...

That's right, it's about the 6 of them :chuckle

[Xerox]

Very nice choice & color. I've come to really like white Si's with the OEM body kit. I once saw one lowered with a wing (yes, a wing) and I thought it actually looked good.

I can't wait till I get to take pictures of it.

[Kevin@nextmod]

estimate pick up is earliest next thursday and latest friday

[stevenlung]

Agree

[crazycanuck]

Not a bad price at all. I'm paying $407/month for my 07 Sedan. It's financed though.

I gotta say, the SI with an aftermarket intake sounds perfect.

[azn_outlaw]

Congrats on the new car...

all though personally I have negative reviews with the Si...here are some tips would like to share...

debage the vehicle, once people cant figure out that it is a Civic SI....you wil have least worries about it going missing or people messing with your car....

and tint your windows....again hide the fact the car is an SI....

the only positive feedback was hitting redline from time to time or just driving it a bit more aggressive then usual, IMO how a Honda shoud be drivin, oh and they can handle pretty well out of the box...

enjoy your new car purchase and drive safe on the roads

Thanks for the tips man. Tints and the clear bra will be the first thing on my list to do. 20% all the way....haha...

[Xerox]

Isn't the "Si" logo embedded into the front grille? May not be as easy as just peeling it off.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Apparently it is on the front grille and you'll have to change the grille to take it out.

[FLIPDADY]

Are the Mugen SI's coming to Canada?

If so I'd be interested. In blue of course!

http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/12/civicmugen08.jpg

[Kevin@nextmod]

Nope......not the mugen or the mugen RR. I wish they did. But if they did it iwll be priced around $32-35 plus tax.

[FLIPDADY]

Fawk mang. Oh well I see what you're trying to do now Kev.:)

[Kevin@nextmod]

The mugen is only available in blue, that special blue...haha... I originally wanted the 4 door, but i just can't stand the front bumper. Was considering the CSX type S but with $6k more. Altho its $6k more it comes with nav std, bluetooth, voice sync, leather, heated seats, fogs, EP3 type R rims, JDM civic headlights, JDM tail lights. But its still too expensive to me cause i have no use for the nav, rims, and the leather. And i know if i'm going ot get the CSX i'll do a full Type R conversion which is $3k

[azn_outlaw]

Speaking of CSX, really nice car, to be its not like its JDM twin the CTR...Booo!!!

all though I have seen people in the GTA rocking the mugen body kit on it but the taillights are like ummmm....yeah....

the "Si" symbol is also located on the trunk but there is one on the grill, need to remove that sticker on the side of the car as well...

what type grade of gas does the Si take?

[Xerox]

what type grade of gas does the Si take?

I'm pretty sure that's a high compression engine so prob. min. 91octane. Just a guess. :)

[Elder_MMHS]

Congrats, Pearly. Dirt colour = galaxy grey? :)

Again, excellent time to lease a Honda - I also can't stand the sedan's front bumper missing the faux air inlets/foglight holes.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Yup...high compression, so 91 octane.

And its a white but i say its a dirty color because by the time i leave the dealership parking lot, it'll be dirty .

[Kevin@nextmod]

So guys.....i just picked up my brand spanking new car....had sooo much fun driving it on the way back home. Here are a few pics that i took when i was there and home.

[mEtH]

Nice! Congrats man!

I just got mine yesterday as well. What happened to getting the 4 door, although the coupe is probably kewler :chuckle

[Kevin@nextmod]

Hahaha...i was talking to my parents and they were like...don't get a sedan..drive a coupe while you're young. So they told me to get the coupe and i honestly like the coupe more.

[FLIPDADY]

Time to change ur sig Kev.

Sweet ride!

[Tokic_o]

wow that Si coupe looks really nice, especially with the fogs and the lip. What you got planned for it?

[Kevin@nextmod]

Time to change ur sig Kev.

Sweet ride!
Yea......i got pat to help me do it and ask for permission from teh admin.....so i guess its any time soon?


As for mods.....i do'nt quite have anything planned yet. The sport tuned suspension is freakin awesome.... my plan is to drive this car as smoothly as possible and get used to shifting the close ratio gear box

[Skarbro]

Hahaha...i was talking to my parents and they were like...don't get a sedan..drive a coupe while you're young. So they told me to get the coupe and i honestly like the coupe more.
I couldn't agree more. I loved my Z24 (coupe) - but it certainly doesn't fit my lifestyle anymore with a kid. Once you get older, small coupes quickly lose their appeal. Nice car BTW.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Yea...i'm glad i got the coupe and no regrets. Maybe few years down the road i'll switch back over to a sedan.

[JMAK74]

And once the kids are older - you get a coupe again!

Nice ride Pearly - hopefully I'll actually make it out to a meet in 2008 and see it in person.

Congrats Kev, Looks really good in white!! But I'm confused of your new member name?

[Tokic_o]

whats thew new username supposed to be? TW =?

[iconicrocket]

Nice ride. Hows that compare to a Mazdaspeed3?

[SpeedBaby]

well it's about 80 hp difference to start with...

[RedRaptor]

Nice ride Kev. I really like the OEM bodykit, nothing too fancy but its there. My kind of bodykit.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Congrats Kev, Looks really good in white!! But I'm confused of your new member name?
TW= Taffeta white
FG2 = 2 door SI
FA5 = 4 door SI
FD2 = JDM type R
DC2 = integra type R etc.....

[Kevin@nextmod]

well it's about 80 hp difference to start with...
Well it doesn't really matter to me. With the price i paid i can get the speed easily but i decided not to cause i want a change.


Nice ride. Hows that compare to a Mazdaspeed3?
Its different from the speed 3 in various ways. As mentioned, the speed 3 obviously is faster but the sound that the engine makes is different. The close ratio gear box is freakin awesome. Steering wheel is smaller, and i find the seats actually fit me better then the one on the speed, but its to each of their own.

Driving wise, the 2 door is harder to see blind spots and harder for me to back in parking spots (the spoiler helps). The sport tune suspension is very sensitive and the car feels very agile. Overall after 40 km of driving today, i totally love it.

[-RJ3-]

Nice Man!!! Thanks for the explanation... The 2 door does suit you perfectly!!!! Cant wait to see whats in store with your new ride JDM 2 DR FTW!!!

[dentinger]

so FG is the chassis code?? like EK or EG??

[Kevin@nextmod]

so FG is the chassis code?? like EK or EG??
Exactly...

[cwp_sedan]

Congrats and it's nice to finally see some pics!!!

[ptfire]

I just don't like the rear spoiler on the Si coupes. Other than that nice car.

[fourtrack78]

Sweet ride Kev........ its tempting to trade in, now that I see your new ride. Is the 4 door si coming to Canada?

[Kevin@nextmod]

^^ the 4 door SI is already out in canada. Theres one at markham honda, you can go take a look.
