oh. hi.

[texasvtak]

i suck at introductions.
so, long story short, semi-out of college, never had much money that i didnt make myself and im finally nearly financially ready to replace my (close enough to say) 20 year old accord that ive had for 8 years now. yes, my first car survived bring driven by a lead footed 18 year old that took the fast and the furious a little too seriously. to shorten the already shortened long story, you can see all of what i did with the accord (pretty much all with my own two hands) hereish (http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=106200). so after all the shit ive done with the accord, i cant really buy a boring car, can i? but, being the ricer kid i was for a few years, having racked up a few tickets (yes, more than i could just defensive driving class off my record) i also cant immediately upgrade to a cobra or something similarly powerful. so here i am on your board to spy on all your cars' technical difficulties so i know what to look for when i start pokin around the used car lots and craigslist ads.

that wasnt that short. sorry. anyway, any tips or things to know would be appreciated.

[RedSiBaron]

haha with a couple bucks you can get your k series, even the a3 to 200whp...my buddy has a jdm h22a in his track car and hes putting down about 215whp 205tq with just i/h/e and a tune...and dont call BS, i was at the dyno run...

welcome to the site, more pics of your accord? looks slick

[texasvtak]

oh i know what the motors are capable of, im just happy with my stock h. and i like reliability. i dont have the patience to keep a strung out motor properly maintained :p just a fire and forget oil change every few thousand is all i care to do.
as for pics, i dont have many recent ones because i just stopped caring as much. but here are a couple clean old ones, albeit before the hood, headlights and further drop a few years ago.
