I concur! Why be an a$$ to someone who only wants to help you. There is so much information on this forum that covers both issues and good things about our cars that most owners don't have any idea about.

How many non-members do you think know about the welcome screen???

If a person is not interested all you have to do is politely say no thanks.

Posted this in the wrong topic...

Hey, yesterday I spotted a silver Si with HFP kit all around on 494 near the 169 exit, I think that's where he exited too. Today, just now, I'm parked next to a Fiji Blue Si in the parking lot of Southdale Office Center, looks completely stock. I put a card on the car.

(This was meant for May 12th not today lol)

Spotted a silver FA5 in Mankato.

Saw a FBP FG2 exiting Highway 100 north onto 77th St. I was right behind the driver. Couldn't make out who it was. I was in my Si and had just had John at Full Blown take a look at my exhaust for any damage sustained in the accident.

You got your Si back already? I was about to go to the Honda dealership before work to see if it was outside at all, but I didn't have a chance. I have to stop by sometime to check it out.

No, car hasn't been touched yet. I can drive it, albeit gingerly. I am kind of ticked at the young gal that hit it because she hadn't even reported the accident to her company yet. I had to initiate everything and am waiting for her insurance company to contact me.

Exeon · 05-14-2008, 01:37 AM

what insurance did she have Bill? I had a minor accident acouple of months ago, I had to contact everything myself cause the girl just kept trying to pay me cash(thank god for witness) , I eventually got two checks for repairs, orignally it was half the amount but i kept calling and disagreed how much they gave me. My person had Geico, i have state farm.

Dave, it is a company called USAA. They seem to be for military people. I assume her father was or is in the military. The woman I talked to at the company was very nice and said she would take care of me. She also said that she was going to contact the gal that hit me to find out why the accident hadn't been reported yet.

The good news is that the damage is confined to the bumper area and underneath. Bumper is damaged as is black plastic tray under the gas tank. My Vibrant exhaust got pushed up, so John at Full Blown is going to take out the axle-back portion and try and bend the hanger.

The other issue is the transmission. It is a little clunky, so I want that fixed as well.

It wouldn't at first. It took a lot of work it get it into 5th and 6th gear. Now the transmission makes funny noises, and it's really difficult to shift gears.

It wouldn't at first. I had to drive in fourth. When I was coming home from the accident, I finally was able to engage fifth, but it was crunchy. Then, I was able to get sixth too. A service guy at Luther Honda said that the pin for the reverse lockout may have been damaged.

I think I know the one you're talking about. It looks like the rear Honda emblem was removed... or at least attempted to be removed. That was a few weeks ago.
