Dead on mate. I like the abreviation! Trust me I will probably cry as well when it comes to filling up. MY sister who just bought a brand new WRX says she paid 50 USD to top off!?
Convert that 2 pounds and I probably paid more and it didn't even get me half a tank. I'm running a smaller tank then usual 2 save weight lol.
Dead on mate. Will not be looking for too much preformance upgrades as the wife has made that clear already! Mostly will be looking for some exterior enhacments that we do not get here like the boot wing, visors and such. I think the 305 hp that it comes from factory is sufficient for a family car. Obviously will get some suspension upgrades but that is down the road. Don't want to upset the wife too much! Are there headlight protectors offered my style STI?
fair one mate sensible (never get on wrong side of a woman ha ha)........unsure about headlamp protectors.......you can buy headlamp film which acts as a small protector, but a very cheap version.......you'll get them for around 10-15 bucks over your end........and can stay light or darken the front lights a touch as they do different grades of darkness.......check out ebay........
if someone has an STI your style maybe they can shed more light on them
I actually just LOL with this comment. I can only wish mate. In all honesty I just want to enjoy this car as I have 3 civic's that are still in a current build. One is a all carbon fibre EK hatch with a JDM spec GSR motor with GT35r turbo, other is a EK4 clone with a K24 build, and the next is a EG6 clone with a b18c USDM spec GSR motor

Happy home happy wife as the saying goes! Don't want to **** the misses off. Don't want the film though. Seen plastic protectors for civic's and other vehicles so hopping to find some for the STI
Thanks mate. I drive through White Plains NY every time I got to NYC. How did you like it? By the looks of it not much since you are back home now
I loved living in White Plains, it was a great place to work and live, and being so close to Manhatten was amazing! It's just that me contract finished so work moved me back home. I will definitely go back soon though!

I may have totally miss understood, but are you saying it cost $50 to fill the tank with fuel?
It costs me about £77 to fill my tank to the brim with V-power, that is $123.42 USD and I use most of that in a week to cover 220 miles.
yah just googled it, it's about half the price for you. still, it's all relative.

Nice little place White Plains. You were lucky to be so close to the city. The misses and I have been going ever since we started dating 5 yrs ago. Its a 6.5 hr drive for us though.

May i ask you a QQ your probably on the IWISTI forum, did you dealer make you buy a COBB Access Port for your STI or is yours totally stock ?
Lovely colour m8 dont think we can get that here GRRR
I am in the USA and will probably be here for a long time, unfortunately! Nah they never mentioned anything about that to me. The STI is completely stock and I dont see me doing any engine enhancments on it either. This car I just want to enjoy it with my wife. Still have my toys to tinker with.
Thanks. My wife chose the colour.

I know that petrol is more expensive over there mate. I was in Northern Ireland about 3 weeks ago and seen how much it costed my mate to fill up his Civic.
I remember when petrol was about .50 cents here and now $4 a gallon. It's crazy for us cause we always look back in the day and reminess about how cheap gas used to be
Welcome wrb30 hope you enjoy the car & by the way you might get some comments on your car being a hatch as we have a few haters on here.Other than that were all a pretty harmless bunch.
yeah true that. it's only going to get more and more expansive as well so make the most of it!
yes it will thanks to the gold old USA

For here it is, for Europe it isn't I know. Petrol over there is far more expensive.

We will be enjoying it. Wife keeps asking me when am I going to take her out so she can learn how to drive it!? Took her out in the Civic and I might say she did quite well. Did not stall it once.
We all have our own tastes and the wife's and mine was to get the hatch as it's spacious. I just love the look of it as does she.
Thanks for all the welcomes
