Default i can't believe i'm doing this

hey guys i'm new here i never ever thought i would be on this board or ever be a honda fan for that matter. I have always been a die hard vw fan, i still am, its just that hondas are starting to appeal more to me now i think it all started when i went for a spin in my friends R i became obsessed. So finally i have come to the decision to build a honda project car, vw parts are to hard to get for what i wanted to do and too expensive (more reasons as to why i'm converting, because with honda you can go faster for cheaper). Anyway i'm selling my GTI and getting to my project, not sure what do yet since i'm new to this so i'll be on alot to learn and decide, just thought i'd fill you all in!

Daniel

Ah HA HA HA!

Another one assimilated. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

Seriously though, I love VW's, they are strong and very fast if you throw enough money at them but hondas are even more fun. Get yourself a clean 5 or 6 gen hatchback, a B18C1 or C5 (Integra GSR or ITR) motor, about $2000 worth of suspension parts and go to town. The most fun you can have with your clothes on!

Cool I'm just looking to get a couple runs in on my setup. Should be hitting mid 13's, my home track is SIR (about 10 minutes from my house), but SRP will do while I'm here at school.
