Default my story of the trip to tampa (lots of pics)

picture, if you will, raining hella hard and a friend and I are about to embark on a trip from jacksonville fl to tampa/st. pete. cruisin along find on 301 until it starts raining right nasty. i go to slow but, too late. i end up doing a 180 on 301, just miles from 275, and slide into a ditch. its pouring rain and the crash broke my starter completely off. i ending up popping the clutch and driving the remaining 120 miles at 60 MILES AN HOUR. with the starter not being connected there was not a complete ground and would not let the car go over 60 mph without violently shaking. anywho got it to John (Secret Services) got a new starter in and everything is working fantastic.

now for the pictures:

heres the final dyno numbers. tuned with hondata


here's pictures of the condo (and views) i stayed at. top floor, penthouse:

i dont know if you can see it, but the list price of the condo was $655,000

Is there alot more noticable power since the tuning? I may go up there for Hondata myself, cuz I dont wanna spend $$$$ for a whole unit at this moment.

And putting Motec on this car is out of the question.
