my first night with Civic SiR ....

[rswbrixton]

What a perfect machine , the engine , steering , ergonomics , seating and fit and finish !!!

I just picked up my 2002 Milano Red SiR tonite at 5:30 pm at local dealership . Traded my 2k1 civic lx in and stepped up to the SiR.

Definately a better car with better response and much more entertaining engine . The drive is much firmer and more In the true sporting league.


The best car i have driven in a looong time and that list includes , vw sciroco , gti , civic lx , civic si , bmw 318 , taurus sho , civic dx hatch , accord se ...

Im so glad i did this . Lots of looks and compliments tonite .

Uk Honda and the K20 has made this so good !!!

And that shifter !!!!!!!

Congrats on your new car!!!

I wish we got the Milano Red here in the states, I would've gotten that color if we did.

[Spidey]

hey I just picked up mine tonight too!
but guess what. The sales lady put a scratch on the rear bumper putting my plates on. It's not very long but it's deep.
I hope they can touch it up good because I don't want to lose the factory paint job.
I could not believe she did that. I actually surprised myself that I wasn't that mad. I didn't flip out or nothing but I just kinda rolled by eyes and said "uhh you guys better fix that"

[rswbrixton]

Thanks Gents ! Sorry to here about the dealership licence plate scratch Spidey , Im sure they will fix up just perfect , have them throw in an extra just because ( ie. splash guards , free oil change etc )


The Milano red does look good on this car , I have some Motegi 16 x 7 wheels on now that i took of my 2k1 civic lx - they look very good.

But at present time i have ordered 17 x 7 Rota Subzero in bronze and Neuspeed springs. This car is a keeper .

Welcome to ephatch, and you are the first (NON Type R) Milano Red owner here.

Looking forward to see the pics. I'm also in Ontario. I was in Kingston about a month ago and saw a black SiR. The car was coming off the 401 so I'm not sure he lives in Kingston.

My dealership has a Milano Red ep. It looks soooo sick, tinted with gunmetal rims. I'd look into gunmetal rims man!!

[CleanBlackSi02]

I'm jealous of the Milano Red! Welcome to ephatch!

[Mechanic]

Milano Red. Now that's a color! RSW, you've got a neat car.

[DrPimpSiR]

Welcome!
Good to see more SiR-Ontarians on the Forum!!
I'm also in E. Ont, but up at the northern tip (Petawawa.)
If you do get the 17" are you going to sell your 16's?
I'm still running stock, and may be interested.
Send me a private message/email me.

[rswbrixton]

Damn glad to be here ! This is a fine site , nicely done and a good bunch of people!!


This car is just amazing !! By no means my first Honda < i have had lots , but this is by far the most unique and most satisfying drive this side of the s2000 !!!

Many many compliments and second looks from everyday people all over town .

And the red looks amazing from all angles , i will post pics asap !!

I can row the gears in this all day long .

[TampaTim]

I'm certainly jealous......I STILL have my 01 LX.
