Back from the Si...

[liquoredonlife]

I sit in 20-30 minutes of traffic just about everyday as well and don't mind shifting. Keeps me awake. Actually I'm that asshole that tends to average speed and end up leaving big gaps to see how far I can go without using the brakes or shifting unnecessarily. Read this article several years ago and tend to stick to it.

Hehe, most people get pissed off because they have bad driving habits (gas, brake, gas, brake).

Congrats to the OP.

Comming from a 2007 civic si myself before the speed..I totaly understand about not having alot of torque...But then again I read that you are in bumber to bumber traffic..if thats the case you prabaly dont need alot of torque..your not really going anywhere right? Just asking questions not trying to be a dick or anything..also the si clutch is butter smooth and shifting is very nice..so if your gonna drive a manual car in thick traffic thats the 1 to have...Im thinking here it wasnt really the torque you just wanted the convience of a auto? cause you could have just gotten a manual mazda 3..am I correct??...anyways Hey drive what makes you feel most comfortable thats for sure and if your happy thats what truly matters ...................On a sidenote..There are days myself I miss my si..awesome little cars..the coupe weights 2886lb and with intake header and exhaust your running around 200 whp..and with stage 2 cams timed right around 240 whp...makes for a fun N/A car that is VERY reliable..anyways ill stop now dont wanna go too far off subject..thank you and good day

lol - so many of us came from 2007 Si's... i miss mine for sure. she was taken away by a dumb ass 16 year old b**** with a permit - sent me flying into the sidewalk, totaling it.

who needs torque when you got VTAK BEAAATCH!!!

fun car, almost as fun as my S2K.

welcome back!

I just wish the 3 had an LSD like the Si does.... that's a *huge* advantage in my book. If we're going to be stuck with fwd, at least give us two working wheels instead of 1.

Thats too bad. You mind me asking how that played out?? Don't see an intersection but you must have been hit hard to send you into the wall.

I would have gotten out and murdered her right there then said she died in the accident.

Is that the girl that hit you in accident pic? If so, did you at least get head or see some boobs? Oh wait 16, nm.

edit: if it's your gf or something my apologies!

Didn't occur at the intersection. I was coming up on her on the left side and while i was passing (already ahead of her), she decides to pit maneuver me, sending my car drifting in front of her, slamming into the sidewalk on the right side at around 35-40mph. destroyed the oil pan (i was lowered), leaked everywhere.

and yes thats the dumb ass, wanted to slap her lol. she had a slight dent on her front fender - that's it. And shes claiming she was hurt... ya ok.

 

[ms6acton]

Did she get charged?

Nice looking Si, sorry to see it go.

I had two teggy's, both GS-R's. Loved the first one, those B18C1's were nice N/A motors, made a "poor Man's R" by adding a B16 head to my 2nd...

That's the one thing I miss on my MS3. 8200 RPM redline.

haha I'm new to mazda and this forum. Saw this post and seen some ppl been thru the same route as me. I had a 07 S2K (love it, I would love to have her back anytime) then traded in for a 09 Si for some reasons (fun car but just not as fun as s2k), then I just trade her in for a 10 Speed3.
