Goodbye RA :'(



It looks like i'm trading in my RA for a 2009 SI...stuff's starting to go on the car and without a warranty, it's gonna be too expensive....i'm at 171,000 km.

I'll have some stuff to sell like a full body kit from accolade (extreme version 2)...stock headlights and a walker quiet flow muffler. I'll make a thread tomorrow probably. I just need to sign the financing stuff tomorrow.

I'm a little nervous just cause i've not used to this kinda commitment to this amount of money, but i think i'll save money in the end. here's a pic of the car i'm getting and my current RA...

New SI is a good car and I imagine you'll be happy with the upgrade.

SI is a decent car. Its a sin the hole culture behind is gives it a bad name... good luck with the car tho. I drove and abused my ex gf's SI and the thing can get up and go...

Yeah the main deciding factor was reliability....i'm a little worried to mod it lol....it comes with an 8yr/200,000 comprehensive warranty....

and the oem kit looks pretty good too

the only RA parts i'll be selling is a set of stock headlights, the stock grill, and the body kit shown in my other thread

you'll like the SI, they are quite powerful for a 2.0L...the back seats are brutal for space, but it is a coupe after all...good luck with the new car.

Congrats man. I had a Honda prior to owning this RA, I loved it (should have kept it and will probably be getting another Honda soon, as well).

Don't mod it or abuse it, keep up with the maintenance, and your new car will last.

Yea, it didn't seem like you had the RA very long.

I only got the car last sept but things have been breaking and I don't wanna dump more money into it. I won't be modding the civic either which will save me some money. Wicked warranty on it. 8th/200,000km

Dacib...I'd let the body kit go for 600. But I think shipping to Florida would be killer.
