Good luck with that.... They probably won't be able to even get one in w/navi... I know I waited quite a while and paid a lot for the navi. But I have the money and I don't regret it. Sure it would have been nice to save 1K er so but like I said, it's not like I'm eating Ramen for the next 4 years or anything...

It was honda of Fort Myers, I had my 98 civic in there for service. Did ya get yours there too?

I know the Si, isnt fast, but it is quick. An evo or sti isnt worth it quality wise I think, with gas and tires and all. For me Si would be nice, I am driving a 127hp ex for cyring out loud. Thanks for al the comments guys, I will defintley try to get more stuff with one or get it base alot lower!

Useless post.

Cool nick, ya keep me posted. I just got my 98 civic back today.

LOL, ya I know a civic Si is not Fast, but it is quick. I mean there is a difference between them and an EVO, but at the same time, I still think the civic Si is great all around. Its not like its an s2000, which I did check out by the way. Unfortunately being 6' 2", made the decision for me to not be able to ever get an s2000. my knees wer htting the damn steering wheel all the way back in the seat. Looks like Si is the only H badge I could get that is sporty.

^^^ dont compare a turbo 2.0l evo to a civic here. and if 10k were put into an si to make it equal an evo, then the si would own it. Youre looking at the Best "all around" car you can get brand new for 20k. go for it.

no fix as of yet for 3rd gear. i'd consider another car. 300,000 mile engine is useless if the transmission won't get you to 50,000!

If your car is under warranty take it to the dealer and they swap transmission fluid to amsoil syncromesh. im doing mines tomorrow. 3rd gear=fix. or you can just do it yourself. or get a shorty shifter with bushings and cables. ive heard that fixes it too. read the thread on the third gear fix.
