VTEC Inside!


     I drive a 1995 Civic EX coupe. I love it. Her name is Dee, for those of you who might be interested. Yeah, I know naming your car is lame, but she's got enough personality that I just had to. The 1.6L VTEC is a lot more fun than the 1.5L in my old car. I ditched the stock donuts for Pirelli P4000 SuperTourings. They weren't bad, but they'd scream too early and whistle on the highway. Now she's shod with Dunlop SP Sport A2's, and they rock. Pretty much anything is better then the factory tires tho. Those just suck.
     I'm thinking about getting soome rims and tires for it. The 14" rims on there right now just look anemic. 15s would be good, but 16s would be best I think. Better handling mostly, but they'd look nice too. An adjustable coilover system would be nice too.
     A bra (nose mask) is a must. When I traded in my old car I couldn't believe how many stone chips I got on my various trips down I-65. The first investment I made after I got the car was for the factory bra. $120 is a lot, I know, but it's saved my paint enough times to pay for itself already. On a trip I took to Atlanta lat year (8/99) it was the best thing I brought along. Lotsa trucks on those roads. Lotsa stones too      
Endyn makes a supercharger for this car, but I doubt I'll ever get one. It's been vaporware for a long time, and will be expensive. Then there's the problem of me being poor, and the car needing to be fed premium gas. Not worth it, even if it would be great fun. Maybe when I can afford to get a B16A and to a hybrid install with the JRSC...

 

Pictures of my car!
     Yep, you guessed it. I'm using this multinational and freely accessable platform to disseminate cheesey pictures of my ride.
