TIA.

All i will say is limit your english usage, less prone to robbing or kidnap.

just got back over the weekend and i am exhausted. it is crazy driving in manila, i'm talking inches is the distance between cars when you're in traffic. new york driving is like a walk in the park, imagine a three lane road becomes five lanes when there's traffic and to add to the craziness you have motorcycles all over the place. i was actually driving my cousins 06 civic 2.0S while i was there and it runs quicker/smoother than the R18. glad to be back.

ExCoupe06 · 01-17-2007, 09:43 AM

welcome back...! hows the weather over there..? i heard it's been raining for days..well, in Cebu, i dunno in Manila..

becoz they have the base RSX engine... the S i guess has that trip-tonic gearbox, and the 2.0 l has the base manual... i wonder if its the k20A2...

tell me about it... hehe but u haven't seen the worse yet... this time of the year is still a "breeze" coz of the holiday season.

i've seen and experienced it all...
in my schooling days, it would take me about 1 - 2 hrs to get to school from pasig to manila (about 10-15 kil. distance). i did that for 5 yrs.
and in my working days, it would take me around 1 - 1.5 to get to work from pasig to makati (8-10 kil.). i did that for 3 yrs.

for those you haven't been back in a while or who have never been to the Philippines i suggest that you plan to go, one, the dollar goes a long way and the parties/night life the best. for those who are looking for some relaxation i suggest a full body massage, its cheap and you'll be "happy at the end"

All i can say is that I want to visit "Air Force One" if anyone knows what I mean... happy endings

yanyan · 08-10-2007, 05:19 PM

go to the downstairs rooms at airforce one... more pricey but definitely worth it. hahah

the k20Z1 is the previous gen (7thgen) 2.0 civic. the Z2 has an improved torque curve
