I've owned mine for 6 years. In that time the only serious mechanical fault was brought about by a pack of retards failing to correctly repair a minor mechanical fault. It's not devastatingly fast (though Marvin might be, eventually 
) but it is quick. It handles hilariously - very sharp with a compliant rear, precious little understeer and almost on-tap oversteer - yet it's as solid as a rock come snow, come rain, come heat and gloom of night... They're economical, practical (moreso than the 323 hatch on which they're loosely based), yet quirky and quite pretty (check the shape of the headlights - see how many other places you can spot that shape...).
In essence they have pretty much everything I can want in a car and nothing I don't want. The only improvement I would make is more power - the larger engines in the range were never available as it would have trampled the toes of its bigger sister MX-6. And because it's a unibody it can handle quite a great deal of extra power (though because it's FWD, it can't).
Besides, for £250 for one of just 250 of the SEs is something I couldn't pass up, even if I weren't turning it into a track slag/weapon.

I think you can use the code function, but then people would have to copy and paste it.

I hate you, right now.
Replace those yellow springs with comptech springs, and that will be my setup

Two nights at the Wingate by Wyndham in Schaumburg, IL. Going with some buddies of mine to Chicago for the long weekend to see another friend we haven't seen in a long time. Should be fun since I've never really been around the city much.

Are those Koni Yellows? If so, that's what my friend has suggested I use on the Civic, paired with Ground Control springs.

Have fun at the races, Nicksfix. I've been to a couple of the Mile High Nationals (my dad loves the NHRA; the parents have tix to the next one), once with seats right by the starting line. Those top fuel and funny cars shake the hell out of every organ in your body.
Due to car troubles, my PS3 purchase will be delayed a while longer, so I went ahead and got this "new" (*cough*bull:censored:*cough*) from the 'Stop today:
Plus a cool little funnel with a straw attached to change my ATF, and some tan Canyon River Blues cargo shorts for work (on sale for $15!)

Carbon fibre goodies for me bike
Keeping my old parts though as im not confident using them for hard off road riding. Keep having thoughts of the handlebars snapping in half down a hill
