Default For those that know me... leaving the east coast for socal!

Yep, it's time for a change. I'm excited to be able to actually enjoy my car all year around as well as meet up with some FI heads out in cali... Earl I'm hitting up your shop soon as I get settled in

sorry if this doesn't belong in FI but it's the only place I post on this forum just about... I feel like you guys are family anyway's (gotta add some mush)

I'll be working for Honda's US based R&D

here's the setup that I post whored last year...





now if only I could pass the smog test...

thanks for the good words man, yeah it was fun chillin.. your one of the few boosted Honda's I've met in the entire new england area... damn STI's and EVO's all over here (probably because they can be enjoyed all yr around with AWD), so your gonna have to keep them on thier toes for me

hmm not sure if that will work..? but either way if I kept my mass lic then I have to renew it by taking a drivers course and pay like $100 for it all because I got 5 moving voilations... 3 of them were just a no inspection sticker fine

yeah I hope so, it's a bit faster then when you last saw it (took a shop rag out of the IC pipe) my best trap speed was 119mph but still never saw 12's

I'll give you a call sometime this week...

I have an SC44 custom made for my setup from TheshoDan it should be able to break 500whp no problem as is (just have to add race gas and turn up the boost)... I just have to find Mr traction first and learn how to drive a 1/4mi, then I'll crank up the pwr
although I may need a bigger turbo to hang with these cali folks...

Is the dude with the silver/black Evo painting your car?

yes I should be not far from ski mountains in LA as well, AND I don't have to shovel, scrape my car, etc... just to get to work winter here in MA is too long and summer is just a blink...
I'm not moving only because of the weather, I want the experience... nows the time to do it!
