Feel like I'm kissing my sister . . .

[Jdodzweit]

I have been a die hard Honda enthusiast my whole life. I have owned 4 hondas (5 if you count my mower). FOr the last two years I have been a proud owner of an 05 honda civic si hatch (ep3).

I traded it in on a black Mazdaspeed 3 this past friday and feel kind of dirty for cheating on Honda. I love the Mazda but still feel a little weird. I was heavily involved in the Honda Forum (www.ephatch.com) and loved the friendly community there. Well here I am (nailbyt)

both cars look nice. personally I woudl take the 3 over the honda (no not becuase its a mazda) Only due to the fact that I can't stand small 2 door cars... small 4 door cars im ok with. I dont know why either.

 

[Sierra117]

Excellent color choice. IMHO, those last gen Civic hatches looked like small mini vans. Ugh.

 

[Haltech]

Nice color my friend! Black was my first choice but couldnt find a GT with Nav. I had to take silver instead

welcome, How does it feel having low end torque and shifting at 6000 rpms.lol.

Is your sister hot?

Welcome to the dark side... you wont regret it... Have to say Silver would have been a faster color but black is classy....

Is your sister hot?

Ditto. (killit)

 

[AtenzaNY62]

hey man, you came from ephatch? my friends on that forum, hes part of the north east crew, he had a supercharged silver ep3!!! thing was insane!! then he parted it out and sold it for an s2000, oh good choice on the speed3

 

[D_Roc7822]

yeah man welcome to the forums. Ive never been on the honda forums or anything.. all I know is that this place kicks some major ass. I love this forum. Good luck with speed3.. keep us informed on any mods you do or plan on doing to it.

Nice EP. My friend has one and it has made me a fan. I have always harbored ill-will towards them, but after him having his for awhile, I like them now. It helps too that I helped him stick a K20A2 and 6-spd in there...car should have came like that (still gets walked by the MSP though, lol).

actually yes . . . she is a model. go to myspace and search "Amber Fournier" and look at her page. It is titled "Amber Elizabeth".

anyways- I always wanted black. I still have the wheels from my civic and I will probably put them on my mazda.

yeah, after I made so many mods to my civic, my wife is not gonna go for any changes to my MSP, especially since it is brand new and she may drive it now and then. (she wouldn't even sit in my civic, she said it was too ghetto)

Congrats on the purchase! I hope you lose that ill feeling and enjoy the car.

Your sis Amber Fournier/Elizabeth is a beauty. Amazing eyes. I hope she does well in her model career.

Ummm, he sure wasn't lying about his sister....

 

[Aaron2112]

...so does this mean that what you actually meant by your topic was that getting MS3 was "so right, but soooo wrong!"?

i keed i keed! (drinks)

you are very correct

 

[Young Roids]

welcome!

 

[builthatch]

don't worry man, you made a strong move. i've had atleast one honda at any given time for the past 10 years, in fact the hatch i sold to get this i had for 9 years. i had an '04 si just like yours at one point and we still have an 07 si....

but it's got nothing on my ms3!

its a very solid piece!

hondas were really great, but they've become overly complicated and i guess it's a sign of the times but they just aren't what they used to be. the engine bays are like razor blades, maintenance and modification is a hassle, paint absolutely blows and they STILL have no tq no matter how big the engines get, how high the CR gets and how fancy vtec gets. i think the last honda to really represent what a honda is/should be was the 6th gen civics...that's why i kept my 97 hatch for so long.

you wont be dissapointed! you will miss the hi rev a bit tho.
