I just wanted to say hi to all in the forum.
I have finally decided to not buy a holden (like my last 3 cars) I am upgrading to the Civic Sport. It arrives in a few weeks (I hope)
I had to settle for Bluish Silver otherwise it would have been another 2 month wait. I also could have picked silver but I am over silver at the mo.. I hope the bluish is not too girly.:o

The only thing I think I will really miss is my Stereo. Had a nice pioneer rig in my currnet car. Will be taking it out an hanging onto it for the time when the dash kits become a little more affordable.

Any way I have enjoyed reading all the posts to fill in time while I wait.


go :honda:

Congrats on your buy. The civic is still in high demand? So you had no other color choice? Bluish silver to me is a bit girly in my eyes :p

The dash kit is affordable. Its everything else thats expensive (HU, amps, subs, speakers etc).

Only if I start getting the run around in a few weeks. :)
Otherwise its good customer service.. keeping me in the loop so far its on schedule for the last week of this month.

Now if Vic roads will just send me the correct plates this time I should be set (the last lot of personal plates were misspelled which is pretty sad considering there were only two letters on the plate :confused: )

Got your chassis number? There's an easy way to check. A VIN will give you the manufacturer, model type, model year, country of origin and ID number.

WVW is the Volkswagen group (obviously). ZZZ is a generic filler due to VINs being made up of 17 characters. 1KZ is the Golf V platform and 7 is the model year, usually appearing as MY07. Model years vary depending on the manufacturer. Most run their MY changes in April - July.

The last letter before the final 6 digits is country of origin. For example, using my Volkswagen knowledge...

3 Door Golf GTI WVWZZZ1KZ7W****** - is built in Germany.
5 Door Golf GTI WVWZZZ1KZ7U****** - is built in South Africa.

Codes can be found at the site below.

Got an update on the delivery of my Honda... man its still about 20 days away :-(

Does anyone know if there is a Downloadable owners manual for the 2007 civic sport so I can have a bit of a read. If its regarded as a copyright infringment don't worry about it.. don't want to cause any trouble.
