Not really new but here's the story on how I got it.
I used to own an 98 Integra LS. Hence the User Name.
Most Recent Pics:



Then the worst happened:

Driving home from the mall. I was in the middle lane trying to change to the right. As soon as I changed lanes the SUV in front of me hit his brakes pretty hard. I stomped on my brakes but my wheels locked so I kept on going. I was going 35-40.
I got charged a wreckless ticket but I went to court yesterday and I just have to go to driving school. We got the car estimated and they said it's gonna be more than $8,000 to fix. So it's not worth it anymore.
It's over for my 98integrals. Parting it out soon. REST IN PEACE.
But good news started coming my way:
Well I'm parting out my car to make some money out of it. BUT my parents said that I have to give the money I make to them. Okay, so I was pissed. They said they wanted the money so they can pay the bills. So I was even more pissed but then. They said they wanted to pay the bills because they wanted a new car. Okay so I asked them why they needed a new car. And they said because I don't have a car and I'm getting my dad's 2001 Civic EX!!! So once my parents get a new car, hopefully soon, my dad is gonna give me his 2001 Civic.
Stats and Specs:
2001 Civic EX 2 Door
Mileage: Almost 25,000
Color: Satin Silver Metallic
Interior Color: Black with blue accents
Engine: D17 SOHC VTEC
Mods:
- GReddy Evo 2 Exhaust
- Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs
- K&N FIPK Intake
- 10" JL Audio Sub with a JL Audio Wedge Box
- JL Audio 250 Watt Amp
- 16" Rota Grid with Falken Ziex 512 (205/16/45) [Yeah I put my rims on there since I use it more than he does]
- Yakima Trunk Bike Rack [He rides a lot so he put it on there. He's got a $2,500 Road Bike!!!]
All in all I'm happy I'm staying with the Honda family.
I can not wait to start buying stuff for my dad's car. Or should I say MY new car.
Just a comparison to my old Teg. The Civic doesn't nearly handle as well as the Integra. The Integra also won the Fun Factor when it comes to driving. The clutch and shifter does feel a lot better in the Civic. The Integra is obviously faster but the Civic's sounds a lot smoother than my Integra. Overall I like the Integra better in terms of driving experience. Just a little comparison. No offense to you Civic owners.
Onto the Pics of the EM2:

Sfedai0: Thanks man, I love my Bronze Grids
Honda Rules: I like HID's. I think they look good and they help with vision.
Harlowe: Oh I think I remember you. You're the one with the SSM and you were one of the first ones there. 17?
imroadk1ll: A little under 3k.
Jstans84: Haha SWEET!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but HID's really don't have all the much more luminance than some aftermarket bulbs. My Silverstar's pump out 4000K, which is near the highest luminance out there.
But, welcome to the forum, anyways.

I've had mine for a little over 2 years now. And, the Tahoe has had them for over 4 years, without problems. Sounds to me like you might have had a wiring issue, or possibly the wrong design.

Haha yeah, My friend and I were the first there, and we went inside to race.
My car was ugly then, still is pretty ugly. I have my old wheels on, and about to put my ground controls on prolly. Still need a front lip to go with the rest tho. All my money is going into the hatch, so it'll probably be a while
Yes, I'm 17
