jollygreen: A little OT but are you from the same Anderson, IN that they did an HBO documentary on a little while back? It was both sad and hilarious.

But to stay on topic:

don't quote me on this but:

JDM motor there is no way of knowing if its stolen or not unless it was bar'd to any other previous car.
Police can try and run it through the system but nothing will pull up.
At least that was the case with my B16a

US ones have the vin plate and I believe that can also run it with the number stamp under the block id

Yes I am... but they filmed that in the worst parts of town. The didnt even go anywhere near the nice parts. I watched that and was pissed off. Anderson isn't the most awesome place to live but its a million times better than they made it seem. There are a lot of non redneck people that live here. i think that the show was terrible and all it did was make fun of those people.. They didn't know any different they just thought they were going to be on tv for something cool that they like to do..

Hatch is awesome btw!!

Gotcha. They were some serious rednecks man! I didnt know whether to laugh or cry, lol.

Thanks for the compliment. My hatch hasn't changed for a few years. I think its about time I move on to something else.

Yeah it made me mad because to all the people that watched it, they think that's what Anderson is. By no means am I saying its awesome but its better than that! haha

Why not change it up?? The car is amazing, you should keep it and post more pics of it. haha

haha. I hear you man.

Thats the thing, I have changed it up, plenty of times! I have different sets of wheels/tires, different front bumper/fog light combinations, different engines and transmissions etc etc. I think im tapped out. Im not interested in doing a K series or different paint schemes. Maybe someone wants to buy it and make their own changes. What I can do though is post more pics, lol.

I would almost be embarrassed to post pics of the crx I just picked up.. Give me a week or two and then ill post some before and after pics.

Owning two crx's at the same time makes life complete!

Lol, yeah I bought Davey's CRX in July and sold my white one a couple days later. Someone flew down from Canada and drove it home. No worries on not knowing about it. I haven't posted much, if anything, about it.

And I know what you mean about Wes. You probably had the same reaction that most of the rest of us had when we found out.

I hope I can own a teal EF someday. If I ever needed to paint the sedan I'd probably go with that color.

Yesterdays rain let me know that the new beater rex I picked up has a water leak.. definitely taillight gaskets (which are a little pricey, probably make my own new ones)
Just venting my water leak frustration especially b/c I just put the whole interior back together and gutted it again to fix this.

So i got my Sonem cable to hydro bracket yesterday. Started installing earlier today and ended up having the same exact problem as Hotsauce. Broke my heart when i started grinding on the bracket to make it work, now theres 20 dollars worth of metal shavings on the garage floor.
