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.
