Returning Honda lover
Recently got back into the Honda scene. Grew up in the Nissan plant in TN, but always had a love for 90's Honda's. After a few years of Nissan only, this winter I decided to pick up a beater. That has quickly spiraled into a winter beater/project car.
Previous Cars:
- 1992 Nissan Hardbody Pickup (VG30E)
- 1996 Honda Civic DX (D16Y7)
- 1992 Acura Integra LS (LS/VTEC)
- 1996 Acura Integra GS-R (B18C1)
- 1994 Nissan 300ZX (VG30DETT)
- A long list of Nissan leases
Current Cars:
- 1995 Acura Integra SE (B18B1)
- 2015 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X (VQ40DE)
The Frontier is staying stock minus the Nismo intake. Once the warranty expires I'll consider heavy modification.
The Integra started as a $500 beater. It is quickly evolving into a project of its own. I'll post a build thread.
Random Facts:
Disabled veteran (Army)
Michigan State alumni
Oregon State University graduate student
Owner of a three-legged cat and a greyhound

Re: Returning Honda lover
It was an amazing truck. Surprisingly fun to drive. Don't think I'll ever find another one like it. Bought it in 2002 for $2500 with 60K on it. It was made at the Smyrna, TN plant and was only driven to and from the plant before I got it.
Yeah...That's the exact line I've given everyone. "Sure, I may have spent $X rebuilding/upgrading the entire suspension setup, but I only paid $500 for the car." I haven't even to begun fixing rust, rebuilding/converting the motor and transmission, or replacing the interior. It'll be a $10K car by the time I'm done, at this rate. It started as a "do a tune up and beat the hell out of it in the winter" car.
