Aah I remember someone having that car. I think they were on Prelude Power, I was sad to see him selling it, but stoked to see that it's going to someone who is enthusiastic! Loving the car! So JDM it hurts! :-P

Any lower than what it is, is not a good idea in my area. I already have to dodge potholes in my town as it is.

nice! any rust on the civic?

and i know how u feel, my winter beater is a 85 toyota celica supra with a jdm 6m-ge and summer tires on it cuz my accord needs a new cylinder head, the supra is a ridiculous winter beater but once i get this new accord head on that supra is gonna be a project. But that supra threw my back out for a few days after hitting an especially deep pot hole so yeah dodging potholes is aready a pain
