My Wifes '03 Coupe

[700x2]

I am a new member here and love the site. I thought I would share some pics of my wifes '03 coupe. It's basically factory except for the tint and the new tires are a couple sizes bigger than stock. It's got 53,000 trouble free miles on it. I hope this works because I'm pretty computer illiterate.

Well that didn't work, I'll try again.:confused:

Now I can't figure out how to put more than 1 pic per post, Sorry. Here's another.

Wow - nice ride.

Welcome to the board.

Why so many miles???

What do you get to drive???

:D

[700x2]

and another.

[Pairallel]

P.S. - Are those fog lights stock???;)

[700x2]

and the last one.

[700x2]

Thanks Pairallel, The fog lights are stock. She drives 100 miles roundtrip to and from work (all highway). I drive her old '91 accord most of the time and then my '96 GMC on the weekends.

Welcome and Nice looking 7th Gen:thmsup:
I'm growing more attached to those wheels everytime I see them.
You can place multiples if you host off site...

I like the location & look of the 7th gen fog lights better than my 6th gen fog lights. Mine look more like an afterthought in the design.

Welcome, 700x2!! Nice pictures!!

Did the new tires change the feel of the ride?

That's sure a bunch of miles!:eek:

Good thing it's a Honda!!;)

[anysia]

welcome!!!

man, i wish my montior would let me see all of the colors! (I lost red somehow...)

nice car! :D i'm starting to like the spoilers on the coupes... what's wrong with me?? anyone??? i've always been "anti-spoiler"!!! :blush: now i want one!

AND the red is suddenly back!!!! YEAH!!!!! :D

[stiller fan]

sounds like you need to trade in ur monitor for something more reliable...u already got the car taken care of...:)

[anysia]

since it's only a few months old, there has got to be SOMETHING i can do about it... don't know if best buy will still cover it or if i have to go to hp though.... :confused:

[stiller fan]

best buy will prob be too lazy/not care to take it back, so u'll have to ship it to hp probably...which would mean about a 2-3 week downtime i think...:mad:

[anysia]

hp covers the stuff for a year i think... so i think i'll wait until it gets "worse"!!! :rolleyes:

[stiller fan]

like don't work at all? or a mini-mushroom-cloud of smoke???:)

[anysia]

probably doesn't work at all! or if i can find a temporary replacement, then i'd look into it sooner!

[700x2]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Princess, The new tires feel great just like the others did, quiet and smooth, Yokohama makes a great tire. As far as miles, It's just getting broke in. The '91 Accord that I drive to work everyday just turned over 264,000 and still runs and drives great, it leaks some oil but other than that it's still great.

[anysia]

ya have to love the older hondas!!! they never cease to amaze me, even when someone beats the crap out of them! :D

[BenjiBoy650]

I've seen those wheels on a black Coupe before, they look sweet. I also noticed the little VTEC sticker below the rear tail light :)

[princess]

Hopefully the older one's oil leak is something easy....valve cover gasket? If it's underneath oil pan, seals...... have hunted down the location?

[700x2]

I put a new valve cover gasket on and it helped but I think most of it is oil pan and other gaskets underneath, a local mechanic said he could fix it for $300 - $500, I told him I didn't mind adding oil that bad. It has leaked for about 5-6 years maybe a quart between oil changes, not that big of a deal.

[princess]

Keeping a close eye on it for changes would be important. Sounds like you have it figured out.

Mine's parked in the garage.....even the older ones were....so a leak would drive me nuts! If I saw a dribble, I'd make him check it out & fix it! He drove an '87 with a dribble for quite a while before fixing it....it was parked outside, to the side of the driveway. No one was going to tracking it anywhere when the cars was gone. He FINALLY fixed it! Then we gave it to a kid!

Since our kids used to have all their's parked at home, I also made him keep up with any leaks they got too. As they moved out, it was less frequent. If they had one here for a service or repair, he'd deal with them then. Of course, 9 out of 10 times we ended up buying the parts needed!

But dads growl so cute!;)
