2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan, Redline Orange. Kinda funny how it came about. Some of you know that I sell Honda for a living. Our dealership was participating in a sales contest for new Civic, CRV, and Accord models. Jan 2, 2009 was the last day for sales to qualify...we were 1 car short!
The owner of the dealership was running around trying to scare up that 1 last deal at about 3:30pm. @4:45 nothing was happening, no traffic, no appointments, no light at the end of the tunnel. Then it hit me! I'm 3 months away from needing a car to drive (lease end on Ridgeline). I went to the owner and made him an offer on this car. Obviously, he accepted. I signed the required paperwork and I brought it home with me last night (1/3?09).
The color was not my first choice, but I like it. I lowered my payment by about 200/month, AND I still have the Ridgeline for the next 3 months for bad weather/truck duty!
I didn't have the car for 2 hrs before the first mod made! PIAA plasma Ion yellow fog light bulbs. I almost didn't get a pic of the car stock before I'd worked a deal for a set of wheels. Worked out a trade for a couple sets of wheels. 17" Work Emotion XD9 and 18" Mugen whatevers off the Mugen Si. Slapped the Mugens on there last night.
Got the windows done today, and have been looking into either the Ingalls Stiffy ETD or the Boomba racing mounts. I hadn't gone 3 miles before a HEMI Ram wanted to play, and the 1-2 shift sounded like someone smacked the firewall with a hammer! The stock dampner SUCKS, so I'll be changing that VERY soon!
here's a pic with the Mugens.
