Designed as an “Advanced Personal Compact,” the next-generation Si will incorporate flowing bodywork, a steeply angled windshield, and wide stance to suggest stability and forward motion. The new Si will be the fastest and most powerful Civic offered in its twenty-year history. The 2006 Civic lineup, launching this fall, will include a 4-door Sedan, a 2-door Coupe and Si Coupe, an even more fuel efficient Civic Hybrid and a natural-gas powered Civic GX.

The Civic Si Concept builds on its performance heritage with a 200-horsepower, 16-valve, and DOHC i-VTEC engine with an 8,000-rpm red line, mated to a close ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Helping to put all that power to the ground is a helical-type limited slip differential for improved launch traction and cornering performance. A 200-horsepower 16-valve i-VTEC engine powers the 2006 Si. Honda sources indicate that next-generation i-VTEC technology will have significant gains in performance and fuel economy. A six-speed transmission will give drivers manual control of shift points up to the engine’s redline of 8000 rpm, and a helical-type limited-slip differential will enhance traction and cornering ability.

Theft and Vandalism

- Wherever possible, provide each dwelling with its own locked garage within the
property boundaries. Locked garages outside the boundaries or well-lit and
visible common car parks are the next best things.

- Where private garages are not feasible, carport or driveway parking is
preferable to grouped parking away from dwellings.

- As a general rule, underground or multi-story car parks should be avoided, as
they are breeding grounds for vandalism and crime. If they already exist,
limiting entry points and providing them with sturdy locked gates could minimize
danger. Alternatively, each resident could be provided with locked gates could
minimize danger. Alternatively each resident could be provided with a lockable
garage in their own space, with robust, vandal-proof metal doors - garages
within garages, so to speak. Or users can be provided with a secure lock or a
plastic keycard, which operates electronic doors.

- Grouped car parks should be avoided in high-crime areas. If they cannot be
avoided, they should be within view of some dwellings; they should be equipped
with sturdy gates or tilt doors, and should never be sited near alleyways.

- Open car parks should be small and within view of dwellings and visitors’ car
parks should be clearly identifiable, well lit, and visible from dwellings.

Rape, Assault, Robbery

- To make car parks safer, planners should provide direct access from parking
areas to the entrance of dwellings.

- Car parks should be no further than 60 meters from dwellings, and the path
should be well lit and free from shrubbery.

- Visitors’ car parks should be well lit, clearly identifiable, and visible from
dwellings.

- Access to enclosed car parks should be limited to residents by some form of
electronic entry control device if possible.

- If it is desirable to limit access to dwellings, make sure access via car
parks is monitored as well.

- In high-crime areas, advanced technological surveillance methods may be needed
in car parks. For example, an infrared unit is available which detects the
presence of intruders - but not cats and dogs - by body heat, and automatically
switches on all lights in the car park and turns them off after 15 to 20
minutes.

Choosing a new car audio system can be tricky business. Most people make many
mistakes when choosing their car audio system. Below are the most frequent
mistakes made my car owners in choosing a new system.

Many people just spend too much and in some cases go into debt. What can make this particular situation worse is that people go into debt for a system they
realize they do not even like. First, figure out how much money there is
available to spend. Then decide how much of the car audio system needs to be
replaced. At this point plan a budget – how much can you afford to spend?
Therefore you can locate system components in your price range. Deciding what is
most important in the car audio system and plan to spend more on the important
items. Going over budget is the first and most common mistake car audio system
buyers make.

Another thing to consider is how much of the car is going to need to be modified
for your potential choices. For example some speaker installation will require
many modifications to be made to the car. Modifications will need to be made by
a professional and therefore you will have to budget into the total cost of the
car audio system parts as well as labor. Another car audio systems mistake is
that the owner of the car does not think about the future. How long are you
going to keep the car for? Will you sell the car with the new audio system or
will you remove it before sale? Remember audio systems never increase the value
of a car enough to balance what was spent on the audio system in the first
place. Also, if you plan on remove the system before you sell the car that could
be problematic. Having a radio and an audio system are high priorities when
people are searching for a new car to buy.

When and for what do you use the car for? If the car sees a lot of use as well
as wear and tear then buying higher quality components like speakers is a great
idea. Understandably if you are spending more time in your car then at home you
want to make sure it is as comfortable and entertaining as possible. However, if
the car is only used for weekly shopping, low end parts are more appropriate.

Another car audio system mistake people make is choosing a system which is not
appropriate for the type of music they listen too. This is probably the most
important factor which should influence the choice of the right car audio
system. If the music that you enjoy is strong bass beats then a high end power
amplifier is needed. Also, subwoofers would also be a good choice. However, if
your music choice is at the opposite end of the music range then you will need a
different audio system setup. For example, if you listen to classical music or
trendy pop music, you will need to get a car audio that has a strong speaker
system that offer even play of the sound spectrum.
