Novice Civic Si coupe lover

[Russiangrrl45]

Hello everyone! My name is Sofie and I previously drove a Kawasaki Ninja now trying my luck with a car, and what better than a Civic Si I love my car, but I'm still learning how to drive manual properly. Any advice about the car regarding suggested modifications, manual driving for beginners, or just anything you think I should know is welcome! :3

Also this is the first time I've ever been part of a forum so any forum advice also welcome ^_^

Welcome to the forum. I like your avatar. Did you own a car before the Si? Or was the bike your only means of transportation?

 

[Russiangrrl45]

I do have pictures! ^_^ Unfortunately though the website says they are too large to upload, I will resize them when I get near a computer and post them up.

Thank you Mosly the bike was my primary form of transportation rain or shine, I just borrowed friend's cars to move things or for longer trips. So technically no, the Si is my first.

You could upload them to photobucket and then put the links in between

Thank you ^_^ I generally am not a fan of white cars but civics just look so sleek in that color I couldn't help myself. :3

I don't like white cars at all, but I'll be damned if a Taffy White Civic coupe with white rims doesn't look amazing!

Are the windows tinted some?

Hmm...not to my knowledge, some one else had her for the first 1,000 miles so unless they changed it, I think the tint that is on there is just stock. It doesn't really look as dark in person as in the pictures.

Ohhh yeah I can't wait to paint my rims! I just got her 2 days ago so haven't had time do do anything yet :/

Another member also used white plasti-dip on part of the front bumper and it turned out awesome! Wish I could remember who it was...
