Well, after waiting for what seemed an eternity today, here is how it went: At 4pm today I found out that I was turned down from my bank for the $3000 loan. Keep in mind that this guy is leaving his house in Jacksonville around 5p and is on is way up here to Savannah and it is only about a 2 hour drive. He tells me that he'll sell the car for $6500 since he is bringing it to me. I agree even though I only have $5400. I borrow $400 from my brother at his bank so now I have $5800. Then, I run home, grab my 27" tv($250), PS2($250), and Sharp digital camcorder ($1300) and head up to the pawn shop to see what I can get. Two pawn shops offer me $300 for everything and I'm fucking pissed off! I call the guy and tell him my unfortunate news. I tell him that I'll give him the $5800 and the camcorder and says "no". He wants $5800, the camcorder, and the tv. I try and negotiate and tell him I'll give him $5600, the camcorder and the tv and he is about to call the whole thing off. I ended up giving him what he wanted which wasn't bad for me b/c I got the tv pretty cheap and the digital camcorder I got for free as a bonus at work.
The car is fucking fast as shit. It gets up to 100mph in no time at all. It rides smooth as hell and being behind the wheel of that much power is an awesome feeling. I never felt that way about my "old civic", RIP. My friend who has the 93 h/b w/ a 95 GSR engine looked over the car before I bought it, checked everything out and made sure it was in good working order. He said that it ran very good. Tomorrow I'm going to take the nitrous bottle out b/c I'm not even thinking about spraying yet. Also I noticed that I'm going to have to buy a fuel rail and a fuel pressure regulator will probably be my first mods. Tomorrow I'm going to try and take the ugly pin stripes off. I'll try and take some engine bay pics too.
