SilverPR5

My wife and I bought a Sunlight Silver PR5 Saturday. Pick up is supposed to be tomorrow evening The car looks great.

Can't wait. It will be my wife's car in which she is trading in her Jetta GL which we are glad to be rid of due to problems with the VW dealer.

And breathe

Smoothy

And blink!
WHOA....beyond impressive, nice work!
Have you had any problem with security/dings/etc?

SilverPR5

No security problems with my Clifford alarm. Has proximity sensors, shock sensors, kill starter, and a bunch of other things. I have caught people putting their greasy fingers on my windows to look inside.

Dings - yes I made one two months ago while sweeping out the garage. I step on the broom and it went WHACK! against the rear 1/4 panel above near the trunk. It can be fixed for $50 but just never had time

Only problem I've had is the 1s to 2nd gear grinding - but the tech guy said he fixed it. And the seat cushion squeaked for a bit too.

Bah a civic!

Jim Jordan

Hmmm, Protege wins 3 of the last 4 SCCA National Championships, Civic Si wins the other.......

I think 3 is more than 1!

Both are great cars, just different. Civic has power, Protege has torque. Protege wins Mid Ohio, Civic would win at any power track.

Nice Looking Si, btw.

Welcome to the Protege world!

SilverPR5

Not to keep beating a dead horse but there were 7 wins in 2001 at the SCCA National Championships in Topeka. http://www.scca.org/amateur/solo2/na...lts/index.html

but yeah the Protege has lots more torque - and my engine is high strung - shifting at 8200rpms is fun.

By the way we're picking up the car around 6pm today.

Little Donny

Good luck with the P5!


Just remember speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

Luckily I have just the thing for modded Civics
