Default My New Car!

Ha ha, here's my 2008 Civic Hybrid. I traded in my WRX and got a great deal. Don't get me wrong though, she was fun and fast but nothing lasts forever.

Now with this car, of all things, I said I wouldn't modify it but I guess it's like once a gearhead. Obviously true performance mods are a little far fetched but I've already been thinking about a few things like the factory Bass Speaker System since it's lightweight and compact and a Civic SI RSB.

The wheels are off an 08 Accord sedan with Civic SI tires. I like the Accord wheels but the main reason I went with them is the SI's wheels won't fit! They hit the front brake calipers and you'd need about a half-inch spacer to make them roll right, which of course is out of the question. I have to say I love the Pilot Exaltos though. They are some really good tires IMO.

Here are some shots of when I first brought her home, and a few at the Bonneville Raceyway.
