^More info on what that is?

Chamois skin. Almost like a piece of suede. I hated it
I just use micorfiber

I'll look into it. It doesn't leave streaks or spread the water around does it?

I wonder why so many people recommend microfiber clothes but the one that I got doesn't work. Are there certain brands that are better than others?

Why do u hate it? It works so well

I had to keep wringing water out of it. It absorbs water well, but it doesnt retain it. After awhile it was like rubbing water all over the car

Those red headlights are asking for a head on collision.

Not nearly as bad as running a PnP HID kit in reflector housings...

 

[dropten]

Gotcha

It should say on the packaging what its for. I get my drying ones from walmart. I forget the brand

You talking about the BMW with red halos?
It's prob safer than running lights. It gets drivers attention so they always see you. I usually run with blue halos even though I can change the color.

The ones I got are heininger from amazon. I'll go to O'reilly and check out what they have and browse walmart also. Thanks

nothing wrong with honda tho i can see why you hate the scene i guess

i used to love Honda. Owned several civics and integras and then an s2000.  But the scene has completely turned to ****.  There are still some legit Honda guys out there that build nice rides. Like the guy that posted the pic of him on the track in his Type R, that is badass!!

but overall, yea the scene has turned to ****. So many piles of crap roaming the streets, and all the thievery that goes on with Hondas 

 

 

Thanks bro!
It's factory blue (probably my favorite color to these cars along with white).

I'll try to go as close to 20 as possible.

Thanks for your input, fam.

It's crazy how these cars maintain their value.

none of them hold their value when you compare it to the ix... Holy crap that year/body style is really holding it's value... I think it's worth more than my 08 x lol

good luck with sale and post pictures of course!

Thanks! Will do.

I initially wanted an IX but can't find any with low mileage.

Nothing wrong with an 8 though. Practically the same car.  can;t believe you found one with such low miles!

 

[nelson999]

Ya I really hope it hasn't sold and everything goes smooth. I'll be PMing you with a few question if I do actually manage to get it

Hope you don't mind

I think the only difference is the MIVEC correct?
I've seen some impressive numbers with basic bolt-ons and a tune. I hope it's the same with the 8's

Yea no problem feel free to PM me.

Yea Mivec and some minor cosmetic differences. Front bumper (I like the 8 bumper better) and the seats are black with red recaro logo in the 9, they're dark blue/black in the 8.

9 taillights are black housing, 8s are chrome housing (they are horrible, buy some 7 or 9 taillights ASAP)

The 9 also has a slightly better stock turbo. But the 05 ur lookin at has the best turbo out of the 2003-2005 Evos.  And you can buy a 9 turbo for like $300.

Or you can buy a badass stock frame turbo like the FP red or FP Black for $1200-2000 depending on new or used

And Mivec actually makes tuning more difficult.

so yea it's pretty much the same with 8s, i had just bolt-ons/tune/e85 on my 05 Evo 8 (with stock 05 turbo) and it was sitting right at 405WHP 405WTQ

 

[nelson999]

I thought I was missing out without the mivec. Ya, the dude still has the stock tails.

Thank you so much. I won't bother you too much but I will be contacting you if all goes smooth.

Thanks again.

No problem man feel free to PM me i don't mind.

Good luck!

Yes I have. Very good products for the money. A lot of companies just rebrand chemical guys products as their own. It's a side business for chemical guys. I'm a meguiars guy for the most part but I wouldn't hesitate to use chemical guys. Order away!

speakin of evos my neighbor has a silver evo 9 always speeding up and down the street if i wasnt into cars id prob be annoyed

 

[BALH ENH]

i want a evo, vette, all that ****. but i cant drive stick

 

[zapatohead408]

Golf clap...

Can never hate on anyone who takes any car to the track... Repped...

Still a honda. Lol. I can talk **** cause i owned several. Honda scene has seriously went to **** in socal. 3 tone paint jobs and fake *** parts. As much as i could easily build another and want to participate in SCCA, i just cant associate or want to be harassed on the road by these kids when they see my car. Other news.....

Word, I've never been a fan of Hondas at all, but up here in Nor Cal they're so damn annoying. I respect decently buit Hondas but most of them are just little rice rockets trying to race anything.

Get out there and learn, it ain't that hard. EVERYONE should know how to drive stick

 

[boosthog]

Yep not that hard. I can teach people in a day if they have any semblance of coordination. Taught multiple girls too in hilly SF.

 

[andretti]

Everyone I know pushes automatics[emoji]128532[/emoji]

I want to learn how to drive a stick but I think it would take me a ton of practice to perfect driving in the hills. Some of those streets in sf are hella steep!
