OFF TOPIC HONDA TECH

YESTERDAY - I had the privlage of attending honda tech's meet in Redmond, WA It was alright , wasn't anything special allthough there were a few cleeaan ass civics , heres a few pics borrowed from Honda-tech.com

SO I DECIDED...

I decided to start saving up my money in order to get an EG hatch with a swap in it. I eventually saved up enough to get a B18B1 motor with (136k miles) and Transmission from a B18b1, and had just recieved 400$ for my birthday and everything was looking good to me. My friend had his car EG hatch stolen and his B18b1 engine had a nockin rod , he said he would sell me the shell for 400$ for everything except motor and transmission, which would have saved me alot of money because i wouldnt have to buy mounts or the wiring harness, and would have been a plug and play. The only problem was that he couldnt sell it untill the state patrol came and looked at the car because of the theft which was scheduled for four weeks from then. In the mean time i went to visit family in eastern Washington and while i was gone someone broke into my house and stole all of the money i had been saving up to get the shell, so now i have an engine and transmission in my room just posted, this was the second time that the universe tryed to stop me from obtaining my honda dream, but i wouldn't let it keep me down once again,,

more to come soon...

IT ALL STARTED WHEN...

I (like many others) got into the honda scene after watching Fast & The Furious , in the beggining (as much as I hate to admit it)I was a super ricer, I would plot out how I was going to make my first honda into something that looked like an airplane lol. So big metal wing , 6in body kits, and decals along the sides, the whole nine yards. Anyways I had 1400$ saved up throughout my life for a car , my aunt had a black 1996 ek coupe that had been sitting outside her house for a year

and a half, i asked to buy it from her about 3 times over 6 months and everytime she

said no, but one day a month or so before my 16th bday my aunt called me and

said," if your really trying to get the car you can have it for 800$ And u have

to get your licience first." I was super excited and instantly responded that it

was a deal. Now i was siked and really really interested in the honda scene,

I started to make friends that had acuras and hondas and started telling them

about my honda dream as i now call it, they told me that i was rice, but it was

ok and i would learn what the difference was between clean and rice, i was

confused but accepted the concept of what i had thought was cool to be "rice".

As the time passed and i started joining forums and seeing more and more hondas
  i realized wow i cant believe that i thought those airplanes that ricers call civics were cool. 
No offense to people that like this type of car but this is my honda dream not yours so... 
 Ha , I got my car from my aunt , cleaned it inside and out including engine. The car had mold underneath 
the carpet so i decided to gut the car, took out the carpets back seat and everything from the trunk,

 then scrubed every surface with bleachwater and a big toothbrush type utensal, i started to save my money up 

, ended up getting a si front lip new bumpers and fenders, and was saving up for a swap

, but  unfortunaly i also recieved tickets and had my licience suspended, so one day 

i was driving along with a friend in auburn and i get pulled over, my car ends up

  impounded and i have to walk home 8 miles in flip flops and shorts at 6 in the morning my honda dream was damaged ,

 especially because i never got my 
back and it was sold in an auction :( sad day. this was the first obsticle 

 in my civic dream and wouldnt be the last, but jus because i was down didnt mean  
that i was out or that i would give up,

 more to  come tomorrow...
