Thanks guys ive had it three days and im lovin it, for some reason civics keep tryin to race me and i kill em, I have a couple other questions, does anyone know how to reset the cpu for the oil service indicator, i changed the oil and it needs to be reset but i doubt a dealer is goin to tell me how to do it. And the other question is at about 30mph it sounds like theres a bad bearing somewhere, cause the rear end is kinda noisy.

Thanks
