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!

MOVIES
All the manly ones, 300, die hard 4, transformers, snatch, fight club, Donnie Darko, Pi, Irreversible, The INVINCIBLES, Pulp Fiction, Akira, of course the F&F trilogy(they might be cornier than hell, but they got me into the game), the list goes on and on.....
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.

I mean this guy bought his car from my good friend T.J and he bought it cause he liked the black powder coated paint job and cause of the stealth looks. He don't know sh!t about cars, JDM, tunning he's like a straight up newbie. I think I have a chance and if I'm lucky this friend of mine going to let me borrow his DC sport headers 4-2-1, Injen cold air intake and a custom exhaust he made for his 7gen accord.
Yeah I thought of that but everybody says that I can smoke him cause he just turn 16 and it's his first race, he don't even know what kinda motor he got or how to double clutch. Thats why I feel kinda good racing wit him.
Well...he has a 92 honda civic hb with stock GSR motor in it and he only has a cold air into it (no catback exhaust) so....It's pretty fair but his car is much lighter cause he did a lot of wieght reduction to it and it's small. I'm planning to take the back seats, spair tire, front passenger seats and the door panels off so it should get a lot of wieght off of it.
Lol I'll still have honda in my heart ofcourse, all these years I've bent owning hondas so...I still have the inner honda in me. Well...about the WRX? If I win three races from this one guys that I have plan to race with and If I win them all I think I'm going to keep the cord but if I loose,? then Subaru it is!! It all depends on what the ride can give me if I win then I'll have faith wit the car but if I loose I'll loose faith on the car.
I sell myself a lot of rubber chickens and circa 1950's Cricket Championship bobble-heads. Turns out, I can't resist pantsless saleswomen either!!! And seriously, who CAN'T use a duck scrubbing duck kit??!? Do you know how many dirty ducks I encounter on a daily basis? It's disgusting really.
I would just like to state for the record that I officially hate you now. You cannot go around bragging about sweating your sack off in a tank top while I'm up here freezing my nuts to flag poles. Honestly...
LOL sorry bout that man lol i just got on this site last night so i mainly was just looking around lol Yea i won 5 outta 6 shows i entered when my car was the way it was before. (i never won 1st , i always got 2nd and once i got 3rd but hell i was still happy as hell) Yea i remember looking at your site last night i remembered seeing your hood and was wondering if it was the Viper Hood, or the Kaminari Hood. Only questions i got about the engine swap is which one is more practical for every day use becasue i drive my car every day and i dont want something on it that is just either to much engine for something that lil or just to much torque bnecause i figure they didn't put a H22 in a sol for a reason so thats y i will prolly go with a B16 just becasue its a stock Del sol engine.
thanx bro..yah im lookn at getting some rims mid october then waiting to get tires. Along with it plan on gettin hte kami kit and hood possible the kami wing or the wings west 3 peice. instead of mine.your sol looks good. keep it up
Hey bro, dont worry about the kit. I will be tradin in my accord for a 2006 subaru WRX in a few weeks allready had it down payed so...I'm still a honda dude though....
hahaha f**k yeah it's getting cold up here!! Hope you're keeping nice and toasty down there, jerk!! *LOL*
So, apparently we have something else in common...I'm not wearing any pants either!! But in my profession thats a good thing . I'm in sales - no pants=higher sales. It's simple math really!
Wow they sound really hot but cold. Man I would love to go there anyways. Is there a lot of street racing going on there? It's aight, If there's no kit I just have to custom one myself...
lol hey cutie wats up! thanxs for the comment :) .. nuttin really new.. just working my ass off for that money u know! soo how are things going for u?? i hope go0d!! :) well write back!
Hows it going dude. Well, It may have to wait unitil I get back. I am leaving to Yuma, Az for WTI (weapons training instruction) for 6 weeks, then I will be in Dallas for 4 weeks after that, so in 10 weeks I will be back in Japan and getting these parts. Holla at me though.
yeah i drift when i can, but i already have 4 traffic tickets and i've been caught drifting once (he gave me a warning thank god) so im scared to do it much. plus, tires are expensive. my friends and i occasionally drive out to this huge parking lot in the middle of nowhere and slide around some cones. soooo fun. i just sold my 92 prelude to my cousin (letting her make payments) so once thats paid off, i'll do an sr20 swap or boost the ka24. haven't decided yet...
. I'm in sales - no pants=higher sales. It's simple math really!
