Bimmer was FTL. That's gonna be a much more fun daily, better resale value, still comfy, and is manual but since it's a honda it's sooo easy to drive.
And above all...
It has t3h I-VTeC y0

Basically all those points that Briton pointed out. I was losing resale on the BMW by the fucking hour, it broke down 4 times since I bought it, was an auto, and got 17mpg city (which i do most of the time).
I can get 220whp out of this car with intake, exhaust, and a tune just like i did with my old type-s, which will be enough. Not doing that until I kswap the Teg though.
2 K20s FTW, VTEC HIV.

I would of love to seen the sales guy face when you said you were trading the BMW for the Civic.
Oh wells, reliability > class.

the new civics are actually pretty nice - i don't think you made a bad choice, especially for a dd, you get like 40mpgs and it has 200 horses i think?

I think it was left over 08 that's been on the lot for a while so he probably got the hookup.

Congrats on the pick up bro, I don't think it was a bad decision at all. My audi was nice as hell too but just like your beemer it devalued like a bitch and broke all the fucking time(...engine blew 2 weeks after I sold it and it was a bone stock 6-cyl). Those Si's are great cars, I think it was a smart move.

Just put the K20 in the Integra and the B18 in the Civic, then you're good to go. Nice car, I'm surprised you didn't go with an RSX.

you get way better interest rates on new car purchases. and he got a killer deal on that car

more fun but less class. you were better off getting something else with the way your bimmer was

When Dave call me last night i was like aaaaaaaaaaaa but after thinking about it he had a car free n clear of that was sitting in his garage he was unhappy with so if he is happy that all that matter for my little Davie,
As far as the facepalm had a dude when i worked at VW trade in a 2005 Porsch Boxster S convt 6 speed, for a 4 door 5 speed Rabbit

I can understand the trade... but if you already have a "fun car" then there's no need for a civic si. The bimmer was a good little car to cruise around in, while you have fun in the teggy. That's why I sold the SRT, and got an accord. It's a DD and that is it. Don't have to worry about dropping money into mods, I save that for the other vehicle.

May 15th, 2009, 03:59 PM
Dave needs a fun, reliable DD. It makes the jew happy.
Semi Jew
May 15th, 2009, 04:09 PM
a happy jew is a nice jew. not going to really talk about the money part because i still had a lot of negative equity on that fucking bimmer.
i was seriously considering an rsx but the two i looked at with under 20k miles were like 2k less than this car, and they were already 3-4 years old. they drive really similar too.
Jeffie ON JUICE
May 15th, 2009, 04:11 PM
Think at all about a 4 door that way Billys new BITCH can fit in? Sorry had to do it Billy lol
Anthony
May 15th, 2009, 04:12 PM
imo i like the rsx look better

I don't want to know what you had to finance I just wanted to know the sticker price. My cousin is car shopping at the moment and this would be a decent car for him.

How does the Honda handle compared to the bimmer? Is it as fun to drive?
Semi Jew
May 20th, 2009, 04:32 PM
I made an account on 8thcivic the other day Kevin. Had to find out about disabling DRLs and whatnot, they are quite annoying.
The Civic handles way better than the BMW, even with shitter tires (Michelin MXM4 all-seasons compared with Bridgestone RE050A on the BMW). Much more fun to drive also. But my BMW wasn't an M3, it was a stock E46 325i sedan. The civic does have an LSD too and my BMW did not.

May 20th, 2009, 05:11 PM
Nice...gotta say that I like the Civic more, too. Nothing fun about an automatic 325...well, almost nothing.

I've worked on both cars... so find another way home pizza boy. :sadwavey:
And you're wrong, they actually have different headlights because the 2 door has a different front end than the 4 door.
Good day sir.
