Hey guys, my name's Jordan (Or Zed, or Giant Jordy, or whatever the hell you want to call me), I'm from Wilmington, and I like scotch... Scotchy scotch scotch.

I have two cars right now:

My daily driver is my '97 Honda Prelude Type-SH, which is currently being completely repainted back to EGP. The only modifications, are:

-Bronze 16" Rota GT3s
-Neuspeed "Race" springs
-Black interior (EGPs only came with tan, I converted it when I restored it... Yes, I restored a '97 Honda, haha... It was in bad shape)
-Type-R shift knob (Adds wiked VTECK... Nah, I had an extra one laying around, it looks better than the torn leather one it came with)
-JDMSH!T lip (Adds even more V-TEC)

I've been restoring the car over the past few months, and it's finally coming to a respectable stage. I'm quite happy with the car. I'll post pictures when it comes out of painting.

My toy is my '00 Acura Integra Type-R, PY 00-0686. I drive this car more than my daily driver, it's just too much fun to let sit in the garage. I purchased it in May of 2006 with 78,000 miles, it now has 104,000 miles, haha. I love driving it. The modifications are:

-TODA header
-Omnipower testpipe
-DC Sports exhaust
-AEM 3" CAI
-Street-Lite flywheel/ACT unsprung 6-puck/ACT HD pressure plate (Installed when I was about to go the boost route, I decided against it after I had all the parts purchased. It's silly on a stock car, but I'm used to it, may as well keep it)
-Koni Yellows/H&R Sports
-And a bunch of miscellanious useless shit. Nothing JDM, that's not what I mean by miscellanious.

It's a real basic modification list, but it's fun. With only 157whp (Here's the video) (http://s116.photobucket.com/albums/o12/ZedxElite/?action=view&current=Type-Rdyno.flv), I've put the car into 14.3 with a completely toasted clutch, here's the video (http://s116.photobucket.com/albums/o12/ZedxElite/?action=view&current=ITRRun.flv). It's got high 13s with the new clutch setup I have, I'm just waiting to put in my motor mount inserts before the next trip to the track... Wheel hop has already claimed one final drive/countershaft, I don't plan on another any time soon, haha. 14s/13s are boring, but it's plenty for this car. If I wanted to be fast, believe me, I wouldn't own a Type-R.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of 00-0686:

They're selling for pretty cheap right now, cheaper than ever. I saw a rebuilt title (Viewed as clean by a bank, so yes, you can carry a loan on it) '01 Nighthawk Type-R with a JDM front end, rebuilt engine, and brand new paint, for $9,500. And absolute steal! If I weren't so happy with my Prelude, I would have bought it as a daily.

If you're ever interested in getting one, let me know, I'll search for ya'. :goodjob:


nice DC homie..welcome

Thanks man! I'm liking yours too.

The lip that is pictured, is a SEIBON carbon fiber lip. My stock lip was destroyed. I have a stock one sitting in my warehouse, to be painted with the car in a few weeks. It's going in right after the Prelude gets out. :goodjob:

It's been an expensive month, haha.

Yeah, there's so much history in this town. Even after living here for 20 years, I still enjoy this place.

I was just in Ashevill last night. I drive an OTR truck for Wal-Mart and make frequent trips to Greenville, Asheville, Raleigh/Durham and surrounding areas. I'm there at least 4-5 times a week. Later, QD.
