what are you running?

[amy@af]

some old faces, different rides. some new faces, old rides....lets have a meet & greet! What are you driving? What mods did you go for? Cool story to share?

[Moppie]

Old face's are good!

My EF9 got destroyed several years ago, and was replaced with a GF who drove an EF6.
Not nearly as quick as the EF9, but still fun to drive.
I then got a very rare BA Prelude INX, which was an ex panel beaters car and only had a limited life.
That was replaced by a CE1 US Accord Wagon. It's big, fat and slow but sometimes remembers that it's a Honda and not a big fat yank tank.
My better half has since moved onto a NZ New Accord sedan, same year as mine. It know it's a Honda as it was assembled here with better suspension and a different engine map.


Would love an EF9 again, they do show up every now and then for sale, but sadly most have been trashed by boy racers.

I still hate you

I have an 89 Civic Si I've had a good 13+ yrs. It's had a sohc vtec y8 to air cylinders to it's current ITR b18c5. It's all motor + I/h/e. It <3 it's all motor glory...LSD tranny, kicks vtec at 5800rpm, makes power to 9000rpm, & can break 'em loose from a dead stop in 2nd gear...grunt, grunt, grunt \m/

my other 4g is a cool story...it's GTA's car! His step-mom was original owner. He was 2nd owner. I am 3rd. I recently flipped it to 300,000mi. It has a sohc vtec z6 & couldn't update his registration in Cali. Add a busted tranny & no tire kickers would offer him a fair price. He called me & said you tow it back, it's yours. Put my old Si tranny in & now he drives it when he comes to OR to visit or I go down to cali

Still have my 91 Civic DX that I have had 10+ yrs. Its been out to Oregon and out to North Carolina where I'm currently at. It has put up with my rice and audio phases, had a glass pack, fart can, uniwiper, etc., on it. Its been through 3 motors: the stock D15b2, and on its 2nd B18A1. I'm not gentle on the car because everytime I'm nice to it, something breaks. Interior now only consists of a racing seat, a stock STD seat, gauge panel, HVAC system and a radio.

I have better plans for it, just gotta get a garage I can work on it in and go back to Arkansas and pick up my 87 CRX Si that I know nothing about other than it supposedly runs good and needs a new windshield and back glass.

Sold my '91 Si. Enjoying my "newer" cars.

As said in Amys post, my 4g now resides with her During its life span with me I also had a 95 sonoma pickup and a 97 civic hx. Truck was stock, HX I had slammed with an exhaust and an intake and that was it (40mpg regually ftw). Once my g/f at the time (now my wife ) accidently backed into it, I ended up using some money to get my current ride. My 06 Scion xB. stock when I got it, now bagged and little things done here and there, but it's on it second makeover now as at once point I had lots of carbon fiber parts such as door panels, hood, spoiler, etc.

day I brang it home





how it looks now






and a couple awesome rolling shots

[Moppie]

How could you go from a nice EF to Scion?

We get lots of the JDM ones here, and well, they are not exactly the most masculine car I've ever seen........

[amy@af]

I said the same thing....until I went with him to one of their car shows. They are a tight knit community helping eachother push the envelope in all different directions of custom. Somehow, I get it now

[GTA]

Haha I know it's not everyones cup of tea. Hella roomy for a bigger guy like me. It just like my old dx lol, no power, kinda boxy, great crowd of people associated with them

They seem to have really taken off in the US.
Not so much here though, unless your female and Chinese.....
Or gay.

Of course given what we have to choose from, most people would rather a VTi or SiR Civic, or GSR Lancer, or GT Famila, etc etc etc
