Hello from Parramatta, NSW - 07 Civic FD Sport White
hello all and pleased to meet you!
This is my first honda, first new car and first manual car. my sisters both drive civics and i have have always liked their fuel efficiency, handling, and surprising space. Also good for a rev.
I use it for my 40km commute to work in Sydney from out Parra way in the west.
I fell for the FD civic sport as it has a feeling of quality about it that its competitors simply can not even get close to.
I noticed this as soon and I closed the front doors.
I almost bought the mitsubishi lancer, with its aggressive shark like nose it screams out 'hi im the next evo!'. however how many lancers do you see built in the 90s that look crap today and arnt worth the metal they are made from. civics from the 90s however still look, feel and go great. the proof is in their resale.
So far my white beauty has no real modifications. I have thought about lowering, rims, exhausts, air filters. but so far can not justify any purchases mentioned as these items do not offer any overwhelming advantages.
I have invested in a small amp + sub as i am like my trance loud and clear, and there is considerable road noise from the low profile tyres.
I am extremely interested to know more about the ipod cable option, how it works, how much it is, installation complexity, any after market alternatives, and which ipods it will work with.
I have experimented with my mp3 player using the auxiliary jack input (short 3.5mm stereo male/male extension) but found electrical noise levels to be annoying when compared with an mp3 CD alternative in the dash.
Any info here would be great.
Look forward to getting to know you, hope to see you on an inspiring cruise soon. This way I can get some ideas and motivation to stop saving money. Maybe you can help me spend money on things i know i dont need but think are not too immature. lol
