Hey guys, just thought I'd share my story and some pics of my car. This is my new civic, and I love it. It was exactly what I wanted.
Truth be told, I wasn't really interested in buying any new car before I got this. I had contemplated it, but I love the car I was driving (99 civic coupe).
Well after owning this car for almost 2 years and having invested almost $10,000 all in all, I was alerted to the suspicious lack of vin tags remaing on the car. I had bought it off craigslist and didn't really know what to look for when buying a used vehicle. Turns out this car was sold as a 97 Hx model, but after some digging by a detective it turns out its actually a stolen 99 ex and had its vin swapped. Basically a fraudulent vehicle. It was a devastating day because I was told I can take all my parts off, but the shell was going to be crushed. All in all the car was a problem from day one and I just never wanted to give up on her.
Here she is all stripped down
So when I started shopping around for a new car I already like the restyled civic coupe. I always like the 8th gens but something about the coupe I didn't love. I think the 8th gen 4 door is straight sex though. But I wanted a coupe. It was really hard to come by a white coupe Si, so I was glad when I was told by a friend they had just got one in at the dealership right by my house. I saw it that day and drive it home the next. I have a lot of plans, I want it to be pretty modified like my last one. Maybe just not as low, I really like being able to go over speed bumps lol. Here is my new civic just stock. Not the best photos. Got some emblems, fog light, and his kit coming in. I'll keep this thread updated with pics as I add stuff.
