ATTENTION to all those inquiring about what I'm parting out:

I made a thread in the Parts for Sale section located here- http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172988

GO BUY MY SH*T!

Well, on the fateful eve of Friday, April 11th... my car saw it's last dying breaths. I never really posted it up much here (or on honda-tech for that matter), but she sure went through some sh*t in her time. Haters smashin her up with a bat, fat people sitting on her hood, 3 trannys, 2 downpipes, one back window, and a partridge in a pear tree. Haha. I'm trying to stay in good spirits, but it was an avoidable accident that boiled down to slow reaction time and just plain driver error. Road went hard left, lost control, you get the idea. Anyway here's a small timeline of it's life throughout the 4 years of my ownership. Yeah, there's a couple of phases it went through that I failed to capture in photograph, but it came a long way from me buying it wanting nothing more than a nice economical car to get me from point A to point B, to a +200whp boosted & slammed sohc (on a wack ass budget to boot).
It was time she was retired. I always got offers from people wanting to buy her, and I would've liked to have been able to sell her prior to the accident, but I guess the junkyard will have to be home enough.
Anyway, enough with the stupid eulogy.
She may not be much compared to some of the cars on here, but she's all I had.

Thanks man.

Yeah, insurance looked at it last week and said the damage was enough to total it. :( I hit one of those guide wires that runs from the top of a telephone pole to the ground and it ripped the infrastructure all up around the wheel well and strut tower. But the good thing is that the insurance company was cool enough to let me strip EVERYTHING aftermarket off (complete turbo kit, guages, wheels, full APEXi exhaust, jdm visors, KYB AGX's & coilovers, RC 550cc injectors, Golden Eagle sandwich plate, Chrome chipped p28 ecu & obd2-obd1 harness... ALL OF WHICH ARE FOR SALE BTW :goodjob:) as long as I replaced every part with something else. Car currently has bottomed out struts with no springs lol, just the top half of an exhaust mani with no exhaust at all, open throttlebody, some super bootleg injectors, and dozens of disconected vacuum hoses. Haha.

But yeah man, it actually happened in Phenix City off Summerville Rd.
And as for my car being parked at work, I parked way far away in a corner by a fence so you probably couldn't see it from the street.

And now all I can think of is the end of the Devils Rejects when they're driving head on towards the road block and they're gettin all shot up to hell, goin out in a blaze of glory. lol. Very fitting indeed.
