Default I wanted to thank everyone!

It's been a great Honda experience.

I've had a great eleven years owning my hatchback. I wanted to thank everyone here, Tom, VTECvoodoo, George Knighton, Chad, and a whole shitload of people who were supportive. I also want to thank so many people who contributed to the hybrid board, because without them, I could have never built such an amazing car.

It's for sale:

Why would I sell such a monster? Heh. Well, once you've tasted track power, you can't have enough. So....







And no, I don't care what you think about the handmade carbon fiber wing. It's on there for a helluva good reason.


Stoppers:






Twin scroll turbo goodness:


Needless to say, I was hooked on power and track performance by the Honda. What I now have is probably one of the premier track vehicles in the U.S. sold by any manufacturer for around $30,000.

Looks like the thing to do now is sell your Civic and buy an Evo... maybe someday i will, but first I have to pay off the S2000... Good luck on the Evo, sweet car, if I didn't have my S, i would probably have one of those..

I highly doubt anybody here blames you dude. Nice car. Too bad they don't have any evo VI's coming over. I don't care too much for the looks of the ""Äccord wannabe's". Accept for the drivetrain and motor, and chassis those things suck. lol. HAve fun and be safe.

You sir were the smartest person to ever log on to H-T when it came to suspension and brakes. Your expertise will be missed
