Default New..

Hi...figured id introduce myself, my names Tom I live in Rhode Island where the Honda scene isn't that big.. recently just picked up my first honda. Ive been wanting one for about 2 years now haha and finally got it. (96 Roma Red Dx Hatchback). I have big plans for it. I work at Guitar Center so i dont make much money and i go to college full time but in time my car will be pretty sweet. Just figured id say Hi to everyone on Honda Tech and hope to meet up with some of you guys!!!

Heres my car..






My comfy temporary seats

Use your head, don't take things personal, and search before asking questions... and you'll make it out of here alive.

Seriously this is a great board and you'll learn alot.

Welcome to H-T
