My BRAND NEW Tafetta White FA5!!

edit: all updates will go here:

Documenting the 2008 TW FA5.

First of all I really want to thank those of you who helped me, you know who you are! I really appreciate this forum being so welcoming to a total newb like me, but over this time I've learned alot from many threads as well as users.

I decided to settle on a Tafetta White FA5 instead of the FG2 because the FG2 felt really cramped for me; having long legs and being tall isn't always an advantage in smaller cars. I had been looking for either a FG2 or FA5 for quite a while and Costa Mesa had just gotten in a GG FG2 and a TW FA5. I went there and bought the car, I am so happy! This technically isn't my first car, but it is my first new car!

I wasn't able to fully appreciate the capabilities and features of my FA5 until I got home, where I found little things such as increasing the brightness of the speedometer, etc that really set the car apart from its competitors (if there are any heheh). I had my dad sit in the car and rev it a little bit up to around 3k, and I heard the beautiful sound of the stock exhaust!

I can't wait to get the lip kit and CAI, which will definitely be my first mods. I spoke to Evasive about the Injen CAI, and will probably try to get it ASAP.

Sorry for the really bad pictures, I'll take some better pictures but its too dark outside right now. These were taken with my phone at the dealership.

EDIT (some few better pictures before I call it a day):

I'm located about 3 minutes away (driving at granny speed ahah) from Diamond Bar High School; right by the 57 South.

Power Honda is in Costa Mesa, those guys really gave a good price $23,000 out the door! Do you know of any good motorsports stores in these parts?
