call me cwiz, i had my gf at the time clean my engine bay too LOL

My favorite car was actually my 99 civic ex, first manual, first bone stock car. Was my HS graduation gift. Went from SOHC + GReddy turbo kit, then swapped to b16 motor, turbo'd that, blew that motor. Rebuilt with a fully built b18 block and built b16 head, up the boost. Never got it dyno'd but it was estimated about 320-340whp.. that was one fun car to drive. ran 13.0 @ 116 lol no traction at all

When I was in Seattle just these past few days I saw tons of Hondas. They have their annual Honda Tech blow out each year there which brings in buku Hondas. Then again, its Seattle where there is a HUGE Asian tuner community. While headed to Starbucks for coffee day before yesterday I got passed by an guy in a gunmetal Audi R8 and while parking in our hotel lot, I commented on this guy who had a car with "3.0 VTEK" on the side and back of his car. Pat said, "If you liked that, look at the Maserati next to it". Low and behold a Maserati was parked next to it. Weird.

I'm a Honda guy at heart, it's what I started out with and really up until my Subaru which I've only had for a 1 year, it was all Hondas before.

However that scene just carries a nasty stigma/stereotype with it, which was the poopy part about it

Yeah I can't get over the stigma that comes with the Honda community. The S2K was OK but it was not immune to the riffraff.

The 370Z community is definitely more mature (for the most part,) which is nice.

It's always the few that ruin it for everyone lol

Khoi Im with you man, Im loving the Honda.

Good thing MAZOC is not afraid to kick out those few. :roflpuke2:

haha who can boost their Integra at 195k, bone stock motor to 280whp and be completely ok and reliable. I had no issues with my Integra.. sold it at 230k still running strong because of my job change (the job before I began at AAM), the guy I sold it to now actually street races the car, same exact set up and it's STILL going strong lol

hahah love it, this is how NGC is too. People get real butthurt when they get "banned" from it too

I have a soft spot for Honda for sure. Still wish those bastards would have put a K20 in the CRZ. I'd have one as a DD. :bowrofl:

That thing would rip lol I love the K20a motor.. actually I love most if not all honda motors :) so simple lol

I got jeans for my HS graduation gift. My family sucked. :icon17:

Jeans? ouch...

I got nothing for mine :roflpuke2:

So I bought myself a Z. lololololol

I know there are a few K20a swaps out there, too. want!

hahah living in this area, I definitely felt like I got the poopy end of the stick sometimes, spoiled brats left and right. I only got money if I got good grades and in an asian family that means straight A's only lol

This is my Son's Honda that he has modded a bit. he lowered it and bought new wheels and tires for it. Those were his first mods ever. He is now learning about what happens if you lower it too much! :bowrofl:

Note he is reppin' AAM Comp!

The fact that you could afford a Z right outside of high school is pretty impressive in its self.

Got lucky. Was working my last year of HS on coop. Employer really liked my skills so they hired me on right away.lol I mean I put my time in in school work and stuff but the opportunity was rare, so I consider it half luck.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity!

Asian families - if you get an A they will be like "WHY U NO GET A+, YOU DISGRACE OUR FAMILY!!" :(

I like this guy moar and moar everyday

haha Y U NO DOCTA YET

Dude, thats awesome man.

:roflpuke2:

great cars, I loved mine.

If I get rich and have space for them I'd definitely have a few Hondas in my collection. They'd look funny sitting next to the Ferraris but IDGAF.

My family, you get an A, you don't get the belt. Now there was some old school motivation.

Grandma used the switch... ouch.

I used to get a bit of money for getting straight A's, which I did all throughout high school. I think my parents gsve me like $200 when I graduated from high school. When I asked for a car, they said that they would buy me one when I graduated from college. By the time that happened, I already had my Z so they just bought dinner for me and a couple of my friends.

That report card money and my $10/week allowance was used to purchase probably like 70-80% of my current video game collection :icon17:
