New Member, New 09 Si

sithos · 12-01-2008, 04:01 PM

Hey 8th!
Been browsing for a while now, but was bored at work and decided it was time to register.

Picked up a black 09 Si on Friday after Thanksgiving. Really enjoying it so far. I had an 08 VW R32 for about 9 months, but the combination of horrible MPG (12-14 city, which is where I am mostly) and payments almost double that of the Si, really didn't make it feel worth it to me. (also, I sold it for only $1200 less than I paid 9 months later)

The Si is my first manual car. I've driven a few others, but only on short trips. So far, I love it. Its everything I wanted, and the payment is tiny. Its a whopping 700lbs lighter than my R32 also, which makes it feel downright nimble.

Planning on doing a CAI (or RAI) and exhaust. Possibly headers if I get the nerve.

Well, thats all for now.

welcome!

nice car. although youre going to kick yourself in the @$$ over how dirty the black paint always seems to get. but when theyre clean......black civics are pure seks.

sithos · 12-01-2008, 04:51 PM

you aren't kidding travis!
I'm pretty nutty about keeping my car clean though. I even requested the dealer not "detail" it when I picked it up so they wouldn't put swirels in it. Gave it bath a nice coat of meguiers NXT wax when it got home.

travis_si · 12-01-2008, 05:04 PM

yeah, ive got an 07 nhbp si, and its ALWAYS dirty. the longest ive had it stay clean was maybe like.....4 days. but theres a shit ton of construction not but like 100 feet from my driveway.

walrusneck · 12-01-2008, 06:16 PM

black is the worst to keep clean. When it gets ridiculously dirty in like 3 days, you feel the hours of necessary detailing wasnt worth it.

But then it looks like teh secks so its ok
