Nothing wrong with a 2.5.

Especially if it's free!

[dsquared]

very nice pick up! congrats on that.

my first car was a 89 240sx back in 99. my parents got it for me. damn i miss that car sometimes

[Rob.Vegan]

]Here's me and my friend in front of it back in 1997;

I'll let you guys guess which one I am, lol.

I would guess that you are the guy standing all macho in front of your "new" car, but after a seconds thought, I come to the conclusion that you are the guy bowing in shame because you just realized you just got an 86 Buick Rivera

Welcome to the forums platinum, my parents bought me my 2.5 too. I wanted the 3.5 6mt and wound up getting a 2.5 CVT due to lack of my mom not wanting me to get stick (because I'll speed) and not wanting me to get a 3.5 (because I'll speed). I was and still am damn happy, I love this car too death ...Also have gotten two speeding tickets in it hahaha

My parents said they were going to get me a car and to shop around, I found a 03 Evo with like 60k miles for about 14k and was stoked. Then they said if they were to buy me a car it would be new. I immediately told them about the AC (wanted it since I saw it).

btw, we may have a less powerful engine, but we sure as hell do have headers

[nitram0i]

be appreciative of what you got bro on the bright side its BLACK on BLACK and LOADED. if you dont like that 2.5 just debadge it

[gearhead05]

Welcome and be content...

Be content? Yeah right. I was content with my car the way it was until I found NICO. Once I got into the forums I was no longer content and was bitten by the modding bug (which is not a bad thing). I'm just saying that once you see what some people on here have done to their cars, you'll wanna start doing some stuff to your own.

And with that, congratulations on receiving an awesome new car. Enjoy it!

for the record, black on black means black car on black wheels....

for the record, black on black means black car on black wheels....

yea seriously man why do people not know this lol like last week someone said in a thread: black on black coupe but it had stock rims? i dont know what the other black there referring too other than the paint on the car haha

[Hussain]

the interior. ive heard people say black on black before there were even black rims. they meant black exterior and black interior.

[rcboy514]

lol where did he go? he only made one post in this thread

[platinum133t]

haha thanks for all the replies and yes I did mean black exterior and black interior. I'll upload some pics tomorrow with everything. The car was just put on the dealers lot Tuesday and I guess it had a special clear coat of something to help keep the paint preserved and to help bugs and debris not stick to it so easily. But it's still wet and now everything's sticking to it. The dealer gave me a special cloth to wipe it off with but my mom thinks i'm just wiping off the coat when I use it. And I also noticed there were very light scratches over the hood as if someone used the wrong grit sandpaper, but they can only be seen at the right angle of light. I said something about this to the dealer and he just said that its from the gloss they used and that it will disappear when it dries. Does anyone here have more experience with this gloss, I also noticed a spot of haze on the car. and besides that I'm supposed to get the plates for it tomorrow

OMG! 92-95 Honda Civic hatchback? those are amazing! did you have the VX, CX or DX? my brother's first car was a 93 CX that my parents bought him. thats what i initially expected to be my first car and i really like those. the VX gets better MPG then the NEW 2009 HYBRID CIVIC! the CX gets almost the same as the 09 HYBRID CIVIC. plus it looks nice and if you wanted to make it fast, just put a K20 in it.... K20 in that would be just as fast as the 3.5se A/C..... down side, it would get stolen or at least broken into 1,000 times before you could even try to do an engine swap.

Hi there, Hussain,I had a dark charcoal grey '92 Honda Civic 3-door CX (REAL black was reserved for the DX & Si trims). CX got almost the same mpg as the VX, but the CX transmission was considered stronger/better (by a tiny bit).

Mine was only broken into once, and it wasn't even the car itself that was the target, it was my suede blazer I had hanging over the back of the car seat Man, I loved that coat.

The mpg wasn't actually better than the new Civic hybrid. Only a few years back (since 2000 IIRC), the EPA changed the criteria for calculating fuel economy to require newer and more realistic driving trends (faster acceleration, higher average highway speed limits, air conditioner use, &c) be taken into consideration, and the result was an apparent loss of fuel economy, even between consecutive manufacturer years of the same make/model. As I recall, it was right after the Toyota Prius made its debut. The following year, the fuel economy figures went down, but only because the new rules for calculating those figures went into effect.

If the '92-'96 Honda Civic's fuel economy had been figured by the new rules, the numbers would probably have looked more like 28 city / 36 hwy or so. Still, I recall one trip down I-16 from Macon to Savannah during which I averaged about 50 mpg !!

And that Civic Hatchback I bought back in '92? I sold it back in 2006 for around $1250 I got over a tenth its original value back after having driven it for 14 years

I didn't even know they made clear, thank you so much!

[Hussain]

lucky you! my brothers got broken into like 4 times! they broke his window one time, they broke the door lock another time, they ripped off some piece near the window and slid the window to the side another time.... he got clear blinkers and they stole those off of it..... most of the older civics are salvage title from getting stolen, not accidents....... i saw the MPG numbers from the EPA web site a couple months ago and thought they had adjusted them...
