Im not big on Halo and you can get a copy of MW1 for like $15 off craigslist.

I can listen to music when i study I just have to keep rewriting it and reading it. I ahve a photographic memory so i sometimes draw pictures lol. Im not very studioes i just go to class listen to what the teacher ahs to say and then i just elave. I have the slides or notes printed out so if i have anyquestions of problems i just read the slides or find it in teh book.

i liek the is300 wagon with a 2jz motor swap in it and some fat ass rear wheels and a nice low agressive stance.

No you're good, people usually make intro threads in the main tech forum where they shouldn't.

Sedan.

I don't know an extreme amount about cars let alone Honda in general. I know what all the parts are and I can do the basics. Well I guess I am above your average non car person lol. My dad has a 66 gto and we pulled motor had it rebuild put it back in but simple enough on a 66 so I guess that puts me at a level a lot of non car people wouldn't touch. Besides that I had a dakota that was all show 3.9l v6 airride shaved the usual stuff so that was my waste of money and time in high school and a great learning experience.

Anyway I think I am getting side tracked. Just reading a lot hear to learn more about my car and Hondas in general. I don't have too much as for plans on mine just header intake and flash pro eventually. It already has the hfp exhaust and a K&N drop in replacement filter. That is all that's not original off the new car showroom floor.

Well that hfp axleback can sound raspy with a header so I would ditch that and get a nice catback and a good quality header. I like the greddy stuff and either skunk 2 header for performance and midly expensive or dcsports race header is cheap and does the job.

When shopping or researching headers and exhausts, search this forum, there are several threads.

umm still working I have one dealer at $19,188 and the other at $18,789... I'm up in PA trying to work a deal on the cheaper one cause it's Polished Metal Metallic instead of Alabaster Silver Metallic... But I don't go over the bridge much into the 'deener to know the area. But I live in historic Dundalk city side, not trashy Dundalk, Essex side... You know cause the shit plant is actually in Essex haha! It's actually remote location Baltimore city property to be technical. Baltimore also owns land in north west Baltimore for a water reserve too...

so last week i took my injen SRI off.. (got tired of the air sucking sound lol)

one day (with the SRI on) me and my buddy were driving to the movies and we pulled up next to this RICEDDDDDDDDD out cavalier, so i dumped it @ 3K rpms and it squealed a decent amount. we were both like "LOL" and went on our way..

tonight (with the SRI off) , we saw some old mid 80's toyota corolla with rpf1's, go figure, and a miss-colored wing so i was like "check this out.. it will be epic" and i dumped it at 5K and NOT A PEEP!!

in an attempt to redeem myself, i turned VSA off and it BARELY spun out.. i didn't give that SRI enough credit.

has anyone else experienced this? i thought a short ram is only supposed to add a few HP at most? i apologize if this is a noobed out post
