..and man is his ride sweet! I got the opportunity to photograph it as well as take a ride in it. It's a friggin' beast! You can hear the Vtec like nothing I've ever experienced. (You gotta love A2s.)

Anyway, here are some pics of his ride and one cool one from the ride.

Tim - It was cool meeting you and your friend (can't believe I forgot his name). We left Wednesday morning right as it started to rain. My guess is that you missed out on the track.

PM me and I'll email you the originals images. These have been sized down.

it was great meeting you too steve. hope you enjoyed your stay. sorry we couldnt hang out longer though. also, yeah, i missed the track sat, but im going tomorrow.. been watching the weather channel all week.. looks to be no rain *knocks on wood*

we tried our asses off to get a good pic of the tach reading down to the 20mph mark on the speedo.. its a lot harder than you think. thing revs up so quick we had trouble snapping it in 3rd gear and didnt have enough room for fourth. was fun.

my g/f bought them for me.. to be honest.. they are not the ones i wanted,they are the pedal covers, i only use the drill mount pedals, but when ya get a present from the g/f... you kinda have to use them.. she also bought me some seat belt covers (red) so i through them in the back seat LOL. she knows what to buy and what not to buy now hehe

OK now I KNOW I need that re-flash. My fuel cut comes on when the needle hits 30 mph.

The Type S does not have LSD. Only the JDM DC5 Type R and CTR have it.

Getting that pic was freaking hard. I was in the back seat with the camera pressed up against the seat to hold it semi steady. Tim is mashing the gas and I'm trying to stay leaning forward while preparing to take the pic. It was insane.
