Pretty much the coolest guy you'll ever meet. I've been in the US Coast Guard for 6 years almost, just got off of a 270' boat out of key west and now i'm living and working in Miami as an second class electronic technician loving life!

Decided to redo my entire bodywork on the Sol, i'm thinking either the '00 Si front with the CF lip and JDM fogs (check out ngenteknikz whip) or a teggy front end with the CF type R lip. Gimme some feedabck on which you think is better.
Just bought a '89 CRX HF for gas mileage. Pushing 55 on the highway and around 50 puttin around town is a beautiful thing when gas in Miami is soo high!
This car was a slow build, but near the end here it's been picking up much speed. Here's a brief on it so far. On the exterior i've got a Wings West Agressor front bumper and side skirts, A TCS rear bumper, A Vis G-Force Carbon Fiber hood and Vis Carbon Fiber Targa top, carbon fiber Trunk and rear garnish from GT factory. Being that i'm a Carbon Fiber slut (Iv'e even got the Integra type R CF shift knob, corny i know, but it's appropriate), I also got my hands on a very rare set of 18" x 7.5" CF rims made by, now extinct company, 01 Design Systems. Under the large scoop in my hood is the pride of all that is JDM. A FULL JDM B18C-R engine, tranny with LSD, and computer swap is the heart of my power. The Integra Type R engine although powerful, just wasn't enough. So I opted for LHT Performance to equip my car with their sick 400 series turbo kit. I'll go into details on that later. When the clutch pedal is popped, the ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate pushes the ACT Performance Street Disc clutch(rated to 243ft/lbs) against the XACT Prolite 8.8lbs flywheel with lightning speed. Ensuring the power doesn't rattle the car apart while the Stage 2 Gator Axles are launching it forward, is a set of shiny Hasport motor mounts. So the car performs as good on the track as it does on the streets, I've installed Tokico's 5 way adjustable Illumina Series Advanced Handling Suspension Kit, along with 4 strut bars for upper and lower application. What good is power without traction right? Fusion ZR1's 215 35 18 help keep excess tire spin to a minimum at the tree. As for the loudmaker, I've got 3" full polished piping from the exhaust side of the snail all the way to the Magnaflow can giving this speeder an aggresive, non-rycer sound. Keeping the temps cool is a Fluidyne racing radiator and Spal 13" 870 CFM fan. The turbo Kit is all inclusive and comes with the 400 Turbo from LHT, Presicion 880CC injectors, 255lph High Pressure Walbrough fuel pump, Tial Wastegate, Greddy Type RS BOV, LHT polished catch can and radiator mount, and Custom exhaust manifold with 3" downpipe. Computer work is done by the infamous Hondata S300 setup with a Greddy Profec B Spec II for pre-race, in cabin tuning. Because spark is soo important, I went with the NKG plug wires and Bosch Platinum +4 plugs for reliability. To make sure intake temperatures are cool, a front mount Presicion Intercooler uses speed and wind to keep charged air cool. All additional hoses are steel braided and piping has bead rolled edges for long term reliability. For feedback, the Boost and water temp gauges are both autometer and sit in a 2 pod pillar. A Greddy Turbo Timer makes sure the turbo doesn't suffer from cookoff after a long hard ride for added longevity. just did a rear disc brake conversion from a 91 CRX Si. This car is a long time planned build, and makes 298 WHP and 200 LB-FT on only 8.5 psi and pump gas. Not so impressed? Let me assure you, this is a completely stock engine aside from the turbo kit. It even retains a face freezing A/C. NO INTERNAL WORK DONE, and still maintains an 11 to 1 compression ratio and 9,500 RPM redline.

Well ide go crazy without my car for four months, i was thinking of buying a miata as of late and putting a supercharger on it.
as for new plans in feb i plan on getting the doors shaved and then the car painted champion white i think is what its called type r, and shave the roof i hate that river thing ont he targa area thats about it when i get the car back this weekend i am posting all new photos and a new video and all! i might get my car back today and of course its raining has not rained in 2-3 months
My carpet is factory. I bought it from honda and i think it was like 2-3 hundred for the molded factory carpet. The floor matts i bought are off the internet. I think they were like 80 dollars to ship and have the writting on them.. Deff worth it ya kno. I actually bought all new seals and weather stripping and that was very expensive. I think i actually spent 3 to 4 hundred on all of them. I really didn't need but i figured if i'm gettin a new paint job i might as well get all new seals so that way they look clean and good against the paint. Well get back at me.
See thats why i didn't buy the trunk-lid! To me 6 is just not worth it. But i bet that the shit does look nice tho. Ohh i put up some new pics if u wanna check em out. My car hasn't even seen rain. Anyday that it looks like it's going to rain i would drive my other car. I used to have a grand prix GTP, but I got rid of it and bought an 05 trailblazer EXT, so that way i can tow my car to shows. Keep up the good work tho man and i hope she's driving nice for ya. Get back at me!
I really need to win this cause he's a beginer and I have never lost since I got my license except this B18C5 integ on the highway that wanted to race wit me so basically my rep is on the line in my school, everybody that loves cars in my school is going to come and see tha race so.....if I loose I'll be embarresed, loose my rep and being a laughing stoc in the school for loosing by this newbie kid.
