its a thing ive been raised with i grew up in the vw scene with my dad n fam and we just never liked hondas, i would prefer a toyota or a nissan anyday over rocking the h badge

 

I agree, Hondas are amazing vehicles!

 

tilt thats why both my 8 and my old jetta i bought off the original owner, a person in there 30s or older, and they both happened to be in irvine were the owners were meticulous and had kept all service records

 

just cause you dont like em does not mean you can say they are inferior...just saying

 

well inferior by design a civic is not as appealing as a say corolla or a jetta it just doesnt appeal to me and i do not want a front wheel drive, i dont want a car like a civic thats the most stolen car in the nation i want something i wont regret in 6 months.


i still dont regret buying the fc, because i got is for a great deal gonna make money off it either way

 

so on to other news...in the coming months I am really planning on getting a Miata as a project and stop modding the 8 (except for a resonator and new CAI and maintenence that needs to be done of course)

Just deciding on a couple things..
Turbo a 1.6 or a N/A 1.8

 

1.6s are rev happy and if you plan to track it seems like alot of people prefer that route


turbo 1.6 is pretty epic just look at amirs car sure its rough around the edges but his car is a track beast

 

...he sold the car...is planning on getting something else...he is not revealing it yet though

and you know me Mike I dont track cars...I am not a very experienced driver...and I dont really have the time or tire resources to track....I cant handle that kinda maintenence.

 

ohh **** i didnt know lol havent been to chm since like first week of june,


im guessing he probably got an e30 or some sort of bmw as hes a bmw fanboi and it would be a dope track car

 

...the eclipse option is still open I think...depends if I can find a Miata I like

 

I like hondas. Im more fond of yotas though.

 

a dsm would be dope, gst or gsx

 

im tellin you man 6th gen celica=bulletproof.

 

...either gsx or gst whichever I can find

 

almost any toyota is bullet proof they just never give up haha my friends 99 taco he has almost no compression on one cylinder and an exhaust valve that wont open and hes still driving and offroading it like a champ, he already has a replacement engine hes just seeing how long it lasts for the giggles

 

that would be dope roger

 

Thats what caused me to get the 8.

I sold her for $600 and the guy I sold it to still has it back as she was. I'm thinkign about buying it back if he will sell it to me. 165k burns a little oil but I had her since i was 17.

I ran it from vegas to cali with almost no oil. never died. ever. never will.

 

and that was what caused me to start driving the celica.

LOL

Lets just say I'm more careful with the 8. and I got full coverage on it.

 

the only problem with the eclipse is that it would be a much more expensive project...and would take me much much longer to finish

 

hell our f150 believe it or not im proud of the acheivement it has 306k miles on the original 5.8 we have had it since new, mechically still runs strong asthetically it looks like it should a beten work truck/tow rig/4x4 toy and it does it all only problem we had is i broke the rear diff jumping it in the air :]

 

a typical project is 4+years the best results come with patience and taking time

 

ya but I dont want a 4+ year project. If I did I would be buying a much better car...like the eclipse would be a 4+ year project cause that one is estimated over 10k for just the parts not including labor.

The Miata is more like <6k for parts

 

Hey....

Aight I'm off to bed.... I need rest. Mother nature(ocean) kick my *** today before work. Lol.

 

dude. jsut get a jdm engine rebuild the turbo add in an intercooler and clean everything up boom your good.

 

...I wanna head more towards show car shady.....yes I am a show car type of person, not a track guy really, or a "street racer"

dont care so much about power as to how good it looks...mostly because you never really get to experience the power on the streets...and I am not going to fund a habit like tracking
