View Full Version : What car did/do you drive?
LightEmUp 06-13-2003, 12:10 AM I currently drive a German Spec 98 EK4(Civic SiR). b16a2, K&N short ram intake, DC 4-2-1 Header, Apexi N1 Catback exhaust, H&R Full coilovers, Skunk2 Stage 2 cams, STR Cam Gears, Skunk2 Titanium Retainers/Valve Springs, Mugen Head Gasket, Skunk2 Intake manifold, Spoon Intake manifold gasket, AEM FPR/Fuel Rail/Filter. Dyno'd it once, 182 whp@7900 rpms.
Ran a 13.9 1/4 mile. Just wanna know what you guys are running now. Gotta respect the hondas!
Renesis08 06-13-2003, 12:20 AM I have a Honda as well. I drive a bone-stock 5speed base model as can be '89 CRX. The one thing I have that most other Honda's don't is that I get ~350-400 mpg average :D.
RotorGeek 06-13-2003, 12:21 AM I drive a POS
eccles 06-13-2003, 12:34 AM See my sig. Sold the 10AE at the start of the year, to make room for the RX-8. Currently (sick of) driving a POS Explorer - roll on delivery day!
LightEmUp 06-13-2003, 02:28 AM lol 400 miles on a full tank for real!! I don't get that much anymore, but I still get around 300-325 a tank. I smoke mustangs daily!! :D
LiQuiDLaM 06-13-2003, 02:58 AM my current ride isn't too bad, it might be a POS but it's got good fuel economy! :)
MRocks 06-13-2003, 08:34 AM See my sig for my current car. I started off with a '90 Chevy Berreta, then leased a '98 Galant ES, then went to a '98 Acura 3.0 CL to finally what I drive now.

So do you cruise in neurtral? Well thats what do I do to get the same mileage as you.;)
Now a days I only rev my engine past 3k only in the morning to get to work.
Well I drive a POS 97 civic. You know what I don't even know the real difference between a CX and DX. The only difference I notice is the rear windshield wipers.:mad:
Death to Honda and Toyota for making boring cars!!

Good thing your getting an RX-8 so you can dump that POS!! How can you invest all that $$$ into an economy car?
BTW, as the old sying goes..."The lug nuts on my Mustang require more torque than your Honda makes!"
(Just a little good natured pot-stirring on a Friday afternoon.)

Could you tell us about your experiences with Mazda? There are people out there that think of it as a really bad car company.
I'm a Mazda kind of guy myself, having owned 2 RX-7's and driven and loved my mom's protege's (1990 and 2000) and friend's protege5 (2002).

haha my F and I met on an RSX message forum. ;) We run a store selling RSX parts too. ;) We used to really like RSX's, but after living the RSX lifestyle for two years, we're a little burnt out. :D
TiRX8 06-14-2003, 09:55 PM 2002 BMW 540i (it's a keeper)
CERAMICSEAL 06-15-2003, 10:06 PM In reply to neit_jnf,
my father had a 1978 rx2(beige 4door automatic).He followed that up with a 1980 rx7(tornado silver 5speed GS)
I thought I had gone to heaven when that car made its way off of the pages of magazines and into our driveway.The sounds, the smells even of these cars were like nothing else I had experienced.I was bitten by the rotary bug.
I've even owned a 323GTX and an MPV.My mom is presently driving a 97 protege.
I've worked as a tech for Mazda and I now sell Mazda parts for a living.
Mazda has always displayed a unique approach to the automotive world and the rotary is the ultimate expression of that.As long as they stay with that recipe they'll continue to get my money.:)
