Hello,
My name is Blake. I've been into cars, adding mods and what-not since the day I got my first car. I don't want to bore you with my shameful past purchases, but I will tell you each time I drove a car from the lot, my friends would always shakes their head and say, "You should have got a Honda."
Well, I thought I was done with my days of spending money just for good looks and slim horsepower was done, until my recent purchase - an 03 Honda Civic SI Hatch.
I immediately noticed the Civic as I pulled onto the lot, mainly because it was a hatch. I've always wanted a 93 hatch, so this one definitely had my attention. What made it better was once I got closer, I noticed it was an SI, with already awesome looking bucket seats and it was in pretty decent condition. So, I bought it. Since my purchase, I've been nothing short of happy. The car has some get-up and go (even though it doesn't compare to my last KLZE swap) and it looks sick.
I've been scrolling through the net on search for everything for the car etc. One thing I'm not thrilled with, is Ebay doesn't offer much for this car, as far as aftermarket parts go. I haven't been big into tuning in a few years, but back when I was, coil over sleeves were the easiest and cheapest way for an instant drop - and they're non-existent on Ebay. I've learned I need an adapter as a short throw shifter and lip kits are amazingly cheap.
I'm not big into power anymore, because where I live, the scene isn't that big and if you really want to play with the big boys, I'll need a couple hundred more HP. I plan to just add a few appearance mods and a nice DD me, my wife and kids can enjoy.
Looking forward to talking with you all.
