My LGT the day after I picked it up next to the g/f's Accent I occasionally use as a commuter (i.e. like when my LGT is down for the count, like right now, or when gas is almost $5/gal. for 93 Oct.)

I'm actually running 1024x768. Currently the only machines I have at home are laptops that are at best over 3 years old. Granted, I have a brand new iMac on the way but have pitty for us poor folk, we do exist.

Not the best quality, but I thought it turned out ok.  Actually wanted to compare it with one I took about 6 years ago with my old Civic.  I really miss this car now  .

Got a new point a to b commuter so I don't have to use the Legacy as much. I think I drove the wrong one today.... 08 Fit - Base model 5spd with power windows/locks/mirrors as the only power accessories. In all, I'm really enjoying it.

On a serious note - just keep in mind the problems you had earlier (though I would like to see another clownshoe in your garage). This is #3 now? Neon, 500 and the RS? Or did you trade the RS for the 500? I don't recall offhand. I worry about you guys... all of you.  (wait...maybe I am the one with problems )

That generation integra is glorious. I had an EF for awhile, and want to go back to it, but I also love that generation integra. That integra already comes with a B-series...so a b20vtec would be easier (+ boost?!?) to get done than that EF. Plus 4 doors for occasional kids, and well.. I can't decide. Eh, who am I kidding? It won't happen any time soon, and they're all pretty mu ch gone in the US anyways.

Seat Safety Switch posted:I want to see a whole thread about this ratty-rear end CRX. ratbert90 posted:Yeah, not sure why it's not a LSVTEC. I could be misreading your comments, so if I'm just stating what you already know, forgive me. The motor he's built is a b20 vtec hybrid. "Hybrid" because he's putting a vtec head where there wasn't one before. Very similar to the lsvtec, just a bigger displacement starting point.

Seat Safety Switch posted:That makes a lot more sense to me, thank you. Never assume that I know anything about Hondas, the one in my driveway is fun because every time I mess with it I get to learn new poo poo. Right re:availability. And just so we are on the same page...Ls/vtec is exactly what it sounds like too. Non-vtec b18 (so a b18a or b18b) with a vtec head thrown on. Both motors really started taking off right around 2000. The b18 option probably tended to be a little more popular due to availability (more integras in the LS trim than crvs across the board, I think because that motor was out for longer) and cost (with the b20, you have to do more potential internals work to get a reliable build). The cool part of these motors is that depending on build, you would probably get a little more torque out of one than the b18c counterparts - the a/b had a longer stroke because they weren't revved to the comparative stars to get the rippums for their HP output. And the b20 was also just a straight up larger displacement, not just stroke. My dream build is a ef chassis with b20vtec. JRSC(Jackson racing supercharger) would be a nice bonus, but probably not possible due to space/packaging constraints.

A commuter car enters the ring:   No burnouts to be had, for she's a brand new '18 Civic LX. Six speeds and two doors. Build date appears to be Sept 2018, so only sat around for about 6 months on the lot, but I still feel like we got a pretty nice deal.  And this mileage reflects current status amidst my errands today. I think it had 50 when we test drove it a week ago. It's WEIRD being in something so small (and down on torque). It's the Mrs' commuter car, so I'll only get to play with it occasionally since I work from home and get kids to/from school. womp womp. Up next: Get rid of the "CIVIC" badge, add floor liners and maybe order up an auto-dim mirror. I might have to farm that last bit out to the dealer, I'm not sure I want to start ripping apart trim on a new car and have it rattle to death, knowing my luck. (requires pulling visors, removing lights, kick plates, etc.)

Alarbus posted:Nice. The slow pace of Vermont issued plates is hilarious, I had DBF issued... jfc 20 years ago? I imagine they get some re-use as cars are taken off the road (Hellooooo RUST), but it is certainly an interesting thought. The van has EMF which were issued about 12 years ago (initially put on my legacy). Re: Automaster, I agree. To be fair, both times we've purchased they came close enough to the deal I wanted that I was ok with it. A brand new civic for sub 18? And they did a little better than I was anticipating on trade-in, so it was a no-brainer call. The extra liquidity for pending house purchases will be very nice.

um excuse me posted:Nothing like a replica wheel manufacturer to make you look like you care about your car. That's one way to be a snob. Personally, I'd like something a bit different from the stockers, and winter is a thing here. Meaning, I'll keep stock wheels for winter and put on a different set for the warmer months. (At probably $100 for tire change over, 2x a year..., new wheels will pay for themselves before tire replacements are needed). And I happen to like the way those look, so that's my plan. *shrug*

um excuse me posted:Replica wheels are often made using inferior manufacturing techniques without compensating for strength in the design. People can get hurt and lose thousands. gently caress replica manufacturers. Absolutely. And to be fair, I may not have been clear based on what I posted above. Mine is 100% going to be a street car. As cool as that racing team is, and what they're doing/did, there is no room for modifying my family hauler in such a way as to take it onto a race track. For better or worse, it's just pipe-dream material for those of us with limited transportation choices and limited enthusiast materials to consume for said transportation appliances. In this instance, replica wheels are a-ok and budget friendly for the intended use case.

Imperador do Brasil posted:The Si is essentially a base RSX, so the Type S has a 40hp advantage right out of the box. That gen Si was largely ignored because many felt the engine was too anemic for what it should have been, the suspension layout was suboptimal, and the shifter placement was just awkward, iirc. I never really liked them, and I'm dying to get back into a 4th gen. I miss that thing so much.  4th gen bros

Even with 2 kids, vans are game changers, IMO. EX-L? If you have 3, pull one of the captains chairs for easy in/out when dealing with younger kid belts. also gives a nice place for people to sit when changing diapers or whatever. Nice ride!
