New member saying hello.

Just picked up an '07 Civic Si. I am probably not your typical Honda Guy. I am 35 years old and have owned a lot of cars. I have raced karts since I was 15 and been a driving instructor for groups like Speedventures. I wanted an inexpensive car that would be fun to drive. After looking at a lot of FWD cars and of course the RWD Miata I thought the Si had the most potential and it was certainly the best handling FWD car I have ever driven.

I picked up an '07 Navi HPT in Alabaster Silver for $600 over invoice about two weeks ago and now I am ready to start modifying it. I already have the HFP suspension on it's way. The stock car rides stiff enough and this isn't going to be an all out track car like some of my previous rides. I also ordered a set of Enkei RPF1's with Michelin Pilot Sport Cups shaved and heat cycled for track days. I plan to travel all over the Southeast to different tracks so hopefully I will see some of you guys in Georgia and Alabama as well as they have some wonderful roadcourses not to mention my home state of Florida.

BTW, I should have a stock Si suspension with under 1K miles on it for sale pretty soon if anyone wants to upgrade the handling of their non-Si coupe so make me an offer. I also have the sunroof wind deflector if anyone is interested in that.

Thanks

Steve

Welcome to the Ocho!

What's not your typical Honda guy? If you were typical, you would not be unique, like each 8th gen Civic, they have personality, and this board is full of it.. personality... *grins*

What I meant was; "I AM OLD!" This seemed to be the most adult of the Honda boards so I signed up here. I don't want to see 1000 different posts asking; "will the Tornado really give me 20hp?" :)

This will be my first attempt at a FWD track/street car so it will be interesting to see how it goes.
