i have posted on here what happen to my tc...but if you dont know... i flipped it from hydroplane..

i like the scion tc.. i was wanting something different
so today.. i got the 08 Civic EX, silver, 5spd
but i was wanting the civic SI... but called on insurance it was ttttoooo much....

But im happy with what i got....

So Good-bye to scionlife

 

good luck with your new car :D

 

Good luck! Enjoy the ride!

 

good luck. ill see u over at 8thcivic.com ... my bro just got a 08 civic lx 5sp.

 

05FMtc.... my name is civicTC over there... whats ur bros name

 

Can always keep in touch here at SL, at the very least check out the import shows coming up. You wouldn't be the first now-Honda owner to stay on the boards.

Just wondering, how did the roof hold up when it flipped?

 

See you around, man. Hope you enjoy your new car!

 

good luck! enjoy your new car.

 

smart guy.

 

the roof held up real good... except all the broken glass everywhere..lol

 

white_tC you should have gotten the Si ;) with the k20 a true racing engine. Sick 8200 RPM redline. 8600 with reflash ;)

 

sad to hear another tC crashed, glad you are ok.

Did you hydroplane out on stock tires?

 

i wanted the SI really bad...but insurance was to high

 

not the stock ones..... it was new kumho's

 

Hey the EX is a really nice car as well. There is an r18 turbo available

 

Yea i know... im going to wait for awhile till i can get that

 

I was considering the Si too, until I found my car, which provides the same horsepower without 2000 extra rpms, renowned Quattro AWD, does not have 3rd gear grinding and oil leaking issues, and with a $600 "chip" provides me another 60 horsepower. I don't think there's any mods for any Civic with that hp/dollar ratio. And i'm pretty sure it doesn't rattle like an Si either.
So with the AWD, I have a car I can drive all-season, handle like a champ and be only 0.1 of a second slower than an Si in the 1/4.


Boy, I wish I could have gotten an Si. Don't we all though?

 

Zebman the Si is a culture not like ur 2.0T ;)

Is 2000 extra rpm a bad thing? LoL

 

For tracking? Of course not. But this Si is your "daily driver," because you have an M3. So yes, it is a bad thing. It's impossible to have fun in unless you wind it up to 8000. Most of us don't track. We commute. Besides, your godly Si is as much a grocery-getter as a tC, and my A4.

And the 2.0T is a newer engine, but it is the descendant to VWs 1.8T, a long-living bullet-proof motor. Oh well though, I guess it doesn't have "racing heritage."

Man, I wish I were part of an automotive "culture"!

 

LoL man you are comparing a car that has 2.0 N/A engine and that makes as much power as your turbo 2.0 :-| comon N/A > Turbo anydays. The day "audi" makes a car that revs that high and that makes the same power as the Si then Id consider an audi. Man the SI revs so high and fast.. Hence the 6.3 0-60. And that 3rd gear grind is an easy fix, royal purple MTF
