Greetings fellow honda-tech members,

I'm a third year student at UC Irvine and I'm currently taking a class in Literary Journalism. My assignment is to find a compelling story to document. Being a Honda head, the most compelling story to me would be to write about the building of a racecar. The transformation of an econobox into a track legend. I want to show how you can bring a car headed for the junkyard back to life like a miracle worker. In essence, what I'm looking for is someone who can bear to have a set of eyes watching you build your car and documenting it with my pen and paper. If you're a socal native, I'd love to come out and take part of your process. You'll also have a set of extra hands to help out. If it helps, I can take ya out for some dinner or something, just to sweeten the deal.. You'll also have full access to my notes and you will recieve drafts as well as the final.

Please PM me or send me an email: chenrc@uci.edu

Thanks for looking!

Mods, if this post poses a problem. Please just let me know.

So are you on the eight-year plan, or is this for your PhD?

 

haha that's true...I don't need to document it from beginning to end...just a slice of life would be sufficient

 

John, as well as all other people, thanks so much for your help!! I didn't think the response would be this good!

 

hahaha, most people take FOREVER to build their damn race cars!


Good Luck,

And UCI My favorite college ever!

the commute from kowloon to UCI must be quite the drive/swim

 

If I come across around $1,000-$1,500 sometime soon, I will let you know. I'm building a turbo D series from the block up. Planning on boosting 10lbs daily and ~15 at the track. This sounds like an interesting project though. When's it due?

 

thanks for the response guys...as of today, i have 4 weeks to write the paper...and a great subject.. thanks for all the help and support!

 

You need to talk to Mr. Import Legend himself, Andy Hope. He has a great story of how he went all the way to Mid-Ohio from SoCal to win a steak dinner.
