1994 Acura Integra GS-R (GSR) with 173K miles. It went to a good home hopefully. It was pretty much unmodified.

Here's my car with my last car ^.^


Sold my VR4 to a friend when the engine blew a couple rings (long story), and he's fixed it up since then. So here's some pics of the former Wing5 and the current one. Man how I miss the TT V6 but I'll keep my handling now ^.^

I had an '01 Eclipse GT. I knew a few turns with caliche, i'd go everynow and then to act like Shingo. Even tried it on a few turns, also taking it to another road I know to do some left-foot braking. It was sport-tronic, but oh well. Steering was too lose, and the car was heavy to boot. Converted to FR, heh. (meaning I got the 8) Sold the eclipse, put a fat down payment.

2001 Toyotal Celica GTS (Carbon Blue)

It first had a HKS Hi-Power Catback and Injen CAI, then the HKS kept making this horrible noise so I went straight pipe Kazuma exhaust and made my ears bleed and my eyes cry.

...it was an automatic. FEH!

Now a proud owner of a 2005 Brilliant Black RX-8 6MT

First car was a very bone stock silver 1990 corolla I got after graduating from high school. I eventually put a sony deck, kicker resolution speakers and tweets, EQ, Xover, 3 Amps, and 2 12" comp Vrs and a decent set of rims, new shocks and springs. simple yet effective. One glorious day just jumped in the seat of a especial edition "Shinsen" Mx5 and never looked back. Great car to drive around the summit and along california's hwy 1. After seeing the 8 though, it was a whole new love afffair. So now, life is good behind the wheel of a titanium gray Rx8 and whenever I get the blues for breeze in your face motoring I just hop on my black CBR and thank God I'm alive.

I was driving sedans all my life and they were all Hondas. My RX-8 is the first coupe/roadster and I love the handling.

my last car was a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX. lots o' mods. read about its demise here:

http://www.xanga.com/toshiclark/5383...of-my-wrx.html

modlist, for those who can decode NASIOC-speak: VF34, Aquamist 2D, DTEC, UTEC, FMIC, RA gears, etc.

now it's time to move from peaky, raw power to poise and handling.
