Hey, I've been on 8th for a while and I'm looking to step foot into maybe going to some meets. I live in the Fort Myers area. I do travel to Miami most of my weekends though. But I'm not sure where to start. I don't know anyone else with a 8th, so I'm totally new. I just love the cars and I wanna get to know some new people and maybe get some advice on my own ride.

Yeah, feel good about it cause i took good care of it. I wanted you to know that. You can feel good about owning it. I always kept the inside clean like you found it the first day. The paint I kept clean as much as I could. I was OCD with it.

I did my own oil changes and tire rotations. I never had to do any major work to it. Just oil changes. I have the Coilover wrenches that go with them still. I forgot to throw them with the car. Did you get the lug nut keys with the car? What all did they give to you cause i put a lot of the stock stuff in the car and brought it there. They wanted all the stock parts. Incase they couldn't sell it all molded up.

Never did any engine work to it. I had some niceass hid lights in it but the left side relay must've gotten wet and malfunctioned so i took them out and put the stock halogen bulbs back in.

It might be me but they may have went higher on the coils about a half inch to a full inch. Seemed lower but Im not sure.

What did the guys you work with say? Cause i used to drive it through that carwash area just to pass by.

I know some of them have nodded cars. I think I seen that vdub there. I wanted to go more flush and get wielded wheels for it but never got the chance. Those Enkei wheels aren't cheap man.
Oh yeah I bough that SI brand new with 6 miles on it back in March 07. I was the only owner of it besides you now. I don't smoke and never got into any accidents.
They just gave me the car there was no stock parts in it. And everyone from work says I got it for a steal and I did. I think they did raise it

Yeah they only gave me 13k for it. So you got a great deal! I thought they would've sold it for 17 or 18k cause that's how dealerships are you know? But that makes me feel better too cause they did a fair price out on it for me. Only made 1k profit from it.

I'll have to come see you sometime at work to give you those Coilover wrenches so incase you wanna adjust the height.. I may have a couple more things aswell. Don't know.
Is there still Honda meet every Saturday? Where?

they only gave you that much? is it easy to adjust the coils? the clutch squeaked today any suggestions?

Yeah, I guess they wanted to sell it quick.

Yeah the coils are easy to adjust. Gotta pop the lockrings lose and spin them up or down to lower or higher the car.

The clutch on those cars get squeaky from time to time depending on the weather and if the lube in that area dries out. Just needs to be re lubed.
yea just put some white lithum grease on it. you said you had the wrenches for the coils right? thinking bout adjusting it soon

Yeah there's a thread about it since several people have this problem . When the factory lube dries out you have to hit it up again . it's a pretty simple fix . yeah I have the wrenches for you I have to get with you sometime to drop them off .

I've only ever had to lube the clutch once in It's lifetime since I had the car. it lasts about 10 to 15,000 miles .

Yeah lol! It was a sexyass car while it lasted. I still have mad love for Honda and the SI's. The 8thgen is still IMO timeless. It's still a work of art from Honda.
