New pic of my Civic, recently been waxed and polished for the first time.
Wow. They really do not look like Canadian Civics.
Got a tip for us?

It's OK. I have gotten used to it by now, but I have tried some of the clutch mods that are out there.
For a while I was running without the spring on the pedal, gave me a little more feel for when it engaged, but there was just a little slop at the top of the stroke and I did not really like that at all.
The one that I did like that I have to make permanent (I only taped some quarters on to try it out) is bolting a spacer onto the stopper on the pedal so it does not travel as far. You just have to make sure you clutch fully disengages at the new point you are creating. It made shifting a lot easier as the clutch would start engaging A LOT sooner after you left the cluth off.
Got any plans for modding your car?
They really don't, do they. I think it's very much a love it / hate it car.
Luckily I love it.
I need to have it repainted as the color is worn in a lot of places, same with the tint. However, the inside is like new.
So here it is, my 1990 Azure Blue 300zx. One of 1200 or so.

The FD generation RX-7 is one of my all-time favorite designs. The mid-late 90's was a pretty amazing time for sweet Japanese performance cars.
Very nice man, I haven't tried any of that stuff yet, just been getting use to it lol. So far all I've done is LEDs, tints will come soon, GTR style overlays for the taillights, HFCS + Intakes and maybe a drop, nothing too drastic really. How about yourself?
^^
Very nice car. I am really surprised how good they look and the price is not bad either.
Great choice and congrats

I fully agree. I know I don't want to pay for the upkeep of a rotary engine though. MMMM the 90s....and Nirvana...and the Offspring, Bush...
How are you finding it?
I test drove it when it first came into showrooms around here and loved everything apart from the lack of power, but then I'm used to my powerful diesel..
I like it so far. It may lack power but it is a hybrid so in the end it's built for economy not speed. The sporty look of the car can be deceiving I guess. Having the Sport driving mode helps to get the boost when you need it but in the end most people will use the Normal or Econo mode.
The one complaint I do have is the bad blind spot looking over the right shoulder.
Also the lack of power is not an issue as this is intended as my daily driver vehicle. When I want power I have this to drive.
Im sure you will love the car. I still do every time I drive it, and I have had it for over 2 years now!
So far I have tinted the windows (20% wish I went darker on the rear tho), Gen 3 intakes and a catback exhaust. Early next year when I wake the car up from hibernation, I'm going to but on some Eibach springs and some thicker sway bars. This will lead the way to finally some new wheels when my stock tires wear out (which I hear is around 25K).
That car is friggin' sweet! I've been debating a BMW. I am an SUV man, currently driving a Tahoe, but I am looking into the X5's.
Are those six series replica wheels? Or something else? I like those a lot. Can you tell me where I can get them? Thx...

Just a quick grab with my iPhone from earlier today before we left the diner.
Don't park over the park stops/curbs like that! Keep doing that and you're going to rip the front bumper off.
Serious. lol go hang out on lxforums ^_^
@Ghost: That's the first BMW I can ever say I liked the look of - the blacked out grille looks so much better (heck, I'd love to see one with just plain honeycombin place of the stupid stuff BMW puts in). So clean.
They are BMW Style 313 wheels. Miro 942's are reps of them. They are not listed on their website but can be found through a vendor on the forum linked below. The post I linked is the only one I linked but if you search that forum you should find more info.
