    Default New here from Wilmington, North Carolina...

    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), I've put the car into 14.3 with a completely toasted clutch, here's the video. 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:





















    EXPO FTW!!!


    So, those are my cars, and that's me. Hello.
    A Type-R and a Type-SH.

    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'.

    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.

    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.
