I am new, also I am getting my Euro today!

Some of you guys might know me from , but to those who don't, I am a guy, Australian, and 27 years old

I am happy to announce to those who don't already know, that I am picking up my Arctic Blue Honda Accord Euro this afternoon !! The only modifications I am getting at this stage are Ming Tinted Windows and the OEM spoiler but heck that is enough of a purchase for someone on an average wage

If the weather holds out, (doubtfull as it is Winter here), I will take some happy snaps and post 'em

Thanks, infact thanks for all the replies folks Yeah I have already got a compliment from a friend and I only just picked the car up 30 mins ago ! The color looks great with the dark tinted widows, looks really cool Infact the whole ride is fantastic, I am wrapped with the car totally, I mean there is no comparison between my 2001 Honda Civic and the Euro, totally different class !!

It was dark when I picked her up so I will post pics first thing tomorrow when the sun comes up My camera's flash doesn't work too good so it will have to wait untill then !

To answer Masmole, we get the same engine as you guys get with the TSX, 2.4 cylinder I-Vtec The rims are slightly smaller though, 16 inch stock alloys which look cool, but I wish were 2 inches larger, that is something I will upgrade down the track ! Still it isn't a big deal !

Good to see my Euro has another "brother" on the roads of Melbourne. Same colour and all. We are also similar in age!

Make sure you check out ozhonda.com for other Euros in Aus

Ming is a brand of tint which is pretty much the highest quality tint available in Australia, it looks pretty cool

Thanks Yeah there are quite a few Euro's floating about here in Melbourne, someone here has the same color as me and lives in the same town, wonder what the chances are that might run past each other one day? On the whole the Euro has taken off like wildfire here in OZ!

One thing I did notice is a strange loud Twang noise coming from the rear when I go over a large bump or speedhump, please look at my thread in the Car Problems/Fixes area, maybe someone knows what is causing it or if it is something that will persist and cause problems? Thanks !!
