New Owner
Just wanted to say whats up to everyone. I've heard this is a pretty cool site with lots of good info. I just bought an Eternal Blue Pearl 2002 Civic EX Coupe 5-speed on 2/8/02. I can't wait to dump butt-loads of money into it.

Welcome to the club! Sounds like you got a decent platform to build on.
Just a quick piece of advice, if you add more power, don't neglect the suspension or your car won't handle the power as effectively. |

I appreciate the advice, Incubus. I've always been one that loves the handling aspect nearly as much as I love going fast. I've been looking around and the majority of what I can seem to find so far is AEM products and a few others (I'm not complaining about the AEM). I'm not new to fixing up cars, just Honda's, so I know all the big brands. I know that in the future more will be available since it is a new car, but thats the future, ya know, not now.
Also, does anyone know of any website that has a EVO kit for the new body style (01-02) Civic's? I'm desperately searching, but to no avail. Thanks everyone! |

Well, it was a nice week. I may have totalled my Civic this past Sunday. It was late and I fell asleep at the wheel on the interstate. The car is torn up. As for me, I'm just a bit bruised. It was a nice week of owning a Civic, too bad it couldn't last. I was actually starting to fall in love with the car too.
 Life sucks right now, except for the fact that I'm alive. Thats all that truly matters. |

Yeah, tell me about it. I'm trying to work something out right now. I have a good feeling that everything will come out alright. I mean, insurance will get me a new one. If not, I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. I'm carless as we speak. |

I'm pleased to announce that I am once again a New Owner of a 2002 Civic EX Coupe. Same color (Eternal Blue Pearl). Ahh, it just makes you feel good to know that insurance is here for a reason. In this whole ordeal, I ended up losing about $200, but kept my life and my car. I wish insurance would stay at the same premium.

WELL CONGRATS !!!!!
Except for the insurance, that sucks I know I totaled twice, But that was a while ago, and now my premium is down, you basicly just have to pay back whatever it cost them to fix your ride, or replace it.
