hey looks like we'll be picking up the car at the sametime! i know honda is infamous for telling customers it'll take a week then postpone it another 2-3 week even months...

i was told it should be here this week.. it's been a week since i bought the car.. so yah .. i dun mind waiting since my insurance isn';t gonna kick in till mar 10th.. so hopefully it'll be here..

Same, my insurance kicks in March 15th

You'll love it once you get it...and it's VERY tough to stay away from VTEC for the first little while...actually I slipped a couple of times;)

I purchased the Nighthawk Black Pearl coupe, and put 20% tint on it...looks pretty awesome!

I almost bought the TW...I suppose if I show up at your TW meet and greet I'll be the odd one out...hahahaha

Congrats CarlThomas...let us know what you think (when you get it)

After meeting a bunch of 8th civic guys tonight, I wouldn't be too worried about being the odd one out haha... everyone's cool :) Congrats on the purchase! I stayed away from vtec until I hit 1300 km lol... and then I stopped doing it daily after realizing the amount of gas it drains.

But seriously, I never knew what the hype about vtec was before, until owning this car... maan... :vtec: ftw!!

That car must be nice, I was going to go with Black. What do they offer under 20% window tint?
I wanted to go with 11%
I think they actually DO offer below 20% tint... I think limo tint is like 5% or something? But ya, it's just that the installer will probably make you sign something saying that you'll take responsibility of cops / accidents, cos honestly, you can't see ANYTHING at nite with limo tint lol...

the issue has been resolved for 08 onwards according to Honda
Sources or failboat.

But seriously: my advice to you is to get some Amsoil or GM Syncromesh for your manual tranny fluid ASAP.

While it doesn't "fix" third gear, it significantly appears to aid in smoother shifting, and you may actually prevent any damage from third gear grind before it happens.
