My name is Mike...i work at a local Honda Dealership. Im lookin at eventually starting my own shop...starting small at first (motor swaps, bolt-ons, maintenance, blady blady bla.) I do all my work myself, with the occasional advice from some of my boys. I truly believe that u get what u pay for. Ive learned my lesson more than once...long stories better left untold. Im always asking some kind of question...get used to it. Thats just the way I am. The things that i do to my car are b/c i want it that way. Not b/c its cool or im a poser. Ive been racing since i was about 14. I had my racing license before i had a permit, so odds are i kno how what im talking about 99% of the time when it comes to a good racing set up.........So there.

My car and I have a LOVE/Hate relationship...
Black `96 civic coupe. I bought it in Dec. `05 for $2,000 after taxes. It was A/T and non vtec single cam. Shortly after buying it, I swaped my first ls into her. wile i was at it i converted to M/T. Shortly after doing swap the fully rebuilt ls was destroyed by a defective oil pump. I then put in a D16y8. I replaced the timing belt and water pump before the timing decided to jump(non related incident) Saved some more money and went back to the ls motor, this time with a gsr tranny. this was the first time i didnt have access to a lift so it all had to be done in my garage.

the g/c koni's are awesome. i love the way they ride and handle, i have the extended top hats with them as well, don't know if that makes a difference or not cause i put them all on at the same time. but if you are serious about getting some let me know cause i am thinking about selling them because i am thinking about getting an rsx if i can get it for what i want. so let me know. i have them on honda-tech for 650+shipping for the whole setup.
thanks bro appreciate the compliment...and the swap is gonna take some time im gonna build it for boost so im gonna take my time and do it slowly and right.
