Default One Old Midori Hatch on the East Coast Still...

I really don't take pictures of my car the way I did. I guess getting older and life in itself pulls you away from things that used to be so important before. A wife and a new little girl in one year may be some reasons (:

Either way, if HT is still the same, it's down with the words and post more pictures. In that case, I'll play.

Normal HT disclaimers:
(Pictures posted below are of my car and the way I have decided to alter it in times past. Lighting was bad, car was dirty, time was short, weather was bad, camera settings were off..., but it was still my car, my camera, and I so all was well.)



















To get an idea of how dirty my wheels were in the pictures above (so worth it for Hawk HP+ though), before I added the window visors:

Yes, the B series. A dying breed. Still holding on to an outdated 190whp

949racing. Such a nice wheel with such a small following in the Honda world.

Dig the wheels. Are they 15x8? I usually see these on miatas. You did the car exactly how I would do it.

Thanks. Glad to see other people in the area. Now we just gotta figure out how to get a fun meet going before it gets really cold (:

Yes, 15x8. I do want to go to the 15x7 ULR's when they are released. Same look as the 15x8 but RPF1 weight and I won't feel so bad about putting 205 width street tires on them. Safety first (:

Yea. Crazy how long I had this car. Longest car owned to date. Anyway, play date sounds really fun. Let us know a time/date/place and we're there. Weekends are better of course.

Maybe exaggerated a bit. I know the TSX is a bit wider. But as far as overall room to put things, the TSX trunk is way too small. I get more stuff in the hatch than my wife's car any date and we both know that now (: Fun battle that was proven.

JDM Del Sol. Best stock seat IMO unless you wanna go aftermarket bucket (: Hold is better than so many others.
