Just to introduce myself. I'm 32, married, w/kids, and just got my first Civic. It started 3 years ago a young friend of mine (skeeter) in colorado springs got me liking these little cars and i've wanted one since. I searched until i finally found what i wanted. The other day i picked up a 92 hatch in Tulsa Ok. It's got a D16y8 swap and some other nice little do dads in it. I feel like it's a good start for a little racer. I just have to say that Damn you kiddos make me feel older than dirt. I hate to bring up the old saying, but. When i was your age i didn't know **** about cars, much less all the **** that you kids know now a days. I just hope you guys will be patient with me when i ask very stupid questions. and hopefully i'll have a race worth civic sometime in the near future.

thanks
mike

 

Congratulations on the Honda Mike! Welcome to H-T

 

Welcome! I'm almost 25 and I feel old on here sometimes. I know alot about Mustangs, but there sure is a bunch to learn about these Civics (I just picked up a 93 hatch not too long ago) and I enjoy learning all of it. As you and I have both learned, they are fun little cars.

 

Looks like a couple people need to start sourcing turbo goodies

 

I am 23 and i feel old for imports!!!!!

 

Welcome Mike, I'm 35 but have no kids or wife..lol and I don't feel old. I've loved cars since I was old enough to walk and will love them till the day I die. You don't have to be young or old to enjoy cars, just enthusiastic and open minded. Enjoy your newfound hobby!

 

Well Mike, youve got the right car and model to begin with.... now starts your journey on Honda Tech... you ll love this site, i have it as my homepage! good luck my noob brother!!

 

So...I at 49 must be the oldest f*ck in this forum. Stock 97 EX coupe primarily driven by my 17yr old kid. The thing is these tin rice cans are easy to work on !

 

None of you guys are even beginning to get old. You must not know about George K. He's like 100 or so.

 

Welcome to h-t, Mike. You are an old geezer...

 

nice to meet you man and i thought i was old. ill be 29 soon.

 

I feel old and I'm only 22. Christ by the time I'm 35 I'll be nearly dead, more power to you all for not being in wheel chairs yet!!

 

nice to meet u bro ! welcome to the great life of hondas...im only 18 and been into hondas since about 12 or 13 and i cant stop loving them

welcome to ht

 

welcome to Japnese Domestic Market.....Hope you'll see there power....

 

I feel older being I'm in my 40's and got my first civic back in Aug 2004.

 

Wow, thanks for the welcome ! i knew i wouldn't make it out alive without recieving one "noob" from somebody LOL. It's all good tho. I'm not a total noob when it comes to motorsports, i build, chop, rebuild, and paint custom metric bikes. So riding a honda, or driving a honda i figure you can't go wrong. I spent a good deal of time in the Jeep rock crawling world also. But nothing has had my attention as much as this.
What is the one major mod that everyone could suggest for a hatch ? Just wondering....

mike out

asshat of the week award.

do what ya want, old man. don't listen to anyone else telling you which "style" is the best.

 

seriously. we all love hondas cause there easy to work on, fun to drive, they rev high, get good power, and still get great gas mileage. Like i have a 96 civic sedan. i dont like 4 doors, and i wanna sell it to get somethin else, but i cannot get myself to sell it. theres some kind of attachment that i know is gonna make me keep it till either someone crashes into me or i die of old age. i would say till it dies, but its a honda. engines dont die, they have problems, and we fix them. anything that wears on my car i upgrade with aftermarket parts.

welcome to the Honda owners club. We do it for ourselves.

The internet has these kids spoiled. Information is so readily available these days. I'm 33 & been doin' this for a looong time & saw the scene explode in direct proportion to the growth of the internet. [B]Welcome to HT & the world of the underdog...
