I sold it and got a green hatch back that had a JDM 98 ITR motor/trans and Toda everything in it (Before Len did it). I had the weird cam locking up issue and trashed that motor just dailying and driving to work. I sold the Toda setup to Dave Blankenship and came out with enough cash to buy a brand new ITR longblock from Len and Craig at Baranco Acura.
Around the time I was building my Hatch Tom was building his silver hatch with all new stuff. We actually raced at Silver Dollar. he got me by a few tenths since his hatch was a gutted CX (Or VX can't remember) and I had a JDM interior SI. I started putting together a turbo kit for my car (Spearco IC and SFP manifold) and lost my job and had to be an adult so I sold the car to a kid in TN. I loved that car. It was SO reliable after swapping the new ITR motor in there. I think I was the only one to buy a Trust exhaust (from Takakaira.com) and then a JICMagic exhaust. I used to be all over honda-tech (and Honda-acura.net before they split).
Gregg you keep speaking of that night but I gotta be honest there was never a point I remember where your Z24 would get me unless you caught me slipping at a light or on the highway (Which was entirely possible). Hell Rob keeps telling me he beat me in his GSR and I tell him the same thing. Y'all Negro's have never beaten me. LOL. NEVER. And right now you won't either (This is gonna piss Gregg off). Remember when you and Lamar jumped me on the phone challenging the WHOLE EVO NATION. LOL.
I'm just fuckin with you. I'm too old to deal with speeding tickets and too tired of giving uncle sam my money. It takes a Vette or more for me to even risk a speeding ticket. If y'all think Atlanta is dead. Raleigh is barren. Seriously there is nothing out here. My wife has a pretty flashy 08 STi and its just her and I out here. from what I've seen. I may pass by one of their little Sonic meets but from what I gather its no better then the ones in GA. Nothing like a Varsity or North Gwinnett meet. No street racing as far as i can tell and although Rockingham isn't too far away I'm not motivated to go. I have grown man shit I'm working out and have come close to selling my car a few times because its just useless to have this kinda power in Raleigh (15+ is a misdemeanor, wtf).
I used to live on the southside (even though I was living in Austell the commute was murder). I worked part time at Nopi when I lost my system Analyst job at Georgia Pacific (they outsourced everything to India). Around that time TJ had his Yellow ITR, Craig had a cherry Prelude and then upgraded to a WRX, Len had his Black ITR, Ken with his Black ITR, Tom had his silver hatch (wife had the black Hatch with a swap), Mark had a sick EK after he wrecked/sold his Integra and had Advan's on there, Trey had a red EK. Hell I used to hang with Scott (God rest his soul) and Kisa and Ted and John since my wife was good friends with Kisa........there are a few others that had dope Honda's back in the day I'm forgetting but its slowly coming back. I won a trophy at Nopi for the highest HP 4 cyl. since no one else bothered (I think I put down 190). I got a check for 250 to spend at Nopi and a trophy and didn't realize it.
And On Forged. I know people they've screwed over car wise but the one thing you can't take away from them is that they have the R35 game on lock in the SE region. They started off using AMS but I think they are about to do their own thing. They are doing it big and I respect them for that. If you have anything then a R35......good luck.
