Cool! How does the handling of the Z compare to the wagon?

they are two totally different animals, the AWD of the wagon helped out in some situations, but i'm having fun learning how to control the Z. when i had the wagon, it felt like any time the car was getting "loose" i would just lay on the throttle, but it isn't that simple with the Z. all in all, the Z seems to handle the corners a bit better than the wagon, but in strait line performance, the wagon would've pulled on it hard. lol

Ha, now I have to keep my eye out for another car around the neighborhood that you'll be in.

You're confusing all of us.

Stop it.

Why's it say "gone" in your sig, or am I just not reading **** right b/c its 7am?

P.S. For plenums, go with Motordyne. Can't beat their products, and to be honest, the rest really don't do that much anyway.

Sorry to hear you had to get rid of the Z. If I'm not mistaken I think I saw you at the Ridley Park Philly SCCA event where it looks like some of your pics were takin. Car looked very clean

Best of Luck!

That is a nice looking Civic. If I was in the market for a new ride, that is what id plunk my money down for. Occasionally, Si suspension kits pop on Ebay.
Go get yourself an Si front bar and a set of Konis when they come out for it very soon and you will have one very fun ride!

most people that have 350's get rid of them. To many problems, and to expensive for parts.

it wasn't the money, the main reason was the car just wasn't practical. don't get me wrong, i loved it, but i missed having a back seat, and a trunk.

Yea, I feel ya. I didn't want to pay what I was paying for a 2 seater, esp one that wasn't "especially" fast.
