Re: So who ISN'T being a ***** and getting out of Hondas? (FBP Si 2000)
I am not giving up, i just finished my install. The install did not go the way i wanted it to, and almost quit. But since i finished the Greddy Turbo Kit install, i just need to tune my hondata and i am done.
I dont think we should call them pussies though. they have their reasons, and we just pray for their souls, that they will come back to the dark side.

I'm not. I think it's because I am way too lazy.
If I weren't as lazy, I'd get into real cars.
Uh oh, flame suit on!

Nope, I have have a Civic because I like Civics, not because I am looking for the next bandwagon car craze to jump into.

Re: So who ISN'T being a ***** and getting out of Hondas? (Inlinefour)
I for one am not.
Despite the percieved mass exodus of members to other platforms, I feel that for those who are interested in grassroots racing efforts, Honda poseses the most economical route for entry level motor sports. The ones who migrate to a more plush vehicle, trade their spartan interiors for leather and a much higher monthly note and premium. Most of the people in the FI forum who bore of the jaunts down the quarter mile should take a hint from the ITR owners and partipate more in local autox or HPDEs. Dowtime and deplorable interiors= stress for daily drivers. However if you factor in a nice daily driver (move up from a 'beater') to a nice used lexus (around 10K) and devote your civic/integra to full race (racing is the reason you did all this crazy crap to it in the first place) and I think you'll be much happier. I myself would love to have a 02+ M3, however i can have just as much fun with a stripped integra and 2 other vehicles and nearly half the cost.
The original elegant rant fell victum to IExplore crashing, but you get the general theme.

Re: So who ISN'T being a ***** and getting out of Hondas? (Inlinefour)
The point is you should keep your EK and stop dropping money into it if thats your reason for 'getting out'. But more than likely getting out = spending more money on a 'nicer car', or gettting a crappier car. Save money, keep the EK and learn to drive (autox or engage in driving events) so when you get your porsche you'll enjoy it.

Re: So who ISN'T being a ***** and getting out of Hondas? (FritzInTN)
I did for a little while. I got rid of The Beast, and got myself a Lexus SC300. I figured I'd drop a 2JZ-GTE in it, but then realized I was in over my head when I found out the motor alone would cost me, oh...$15,000 to drop in. Then I got bored with the Lexus, and gave it to my mom, took her Explorer, gave it to my fiancee, and took her EG. Now I'm back, and an H22A Type-S is looking for my engine bay.

Re: So who ISN'T being a ***** and getting out of Hondas? (On Point EK)
waste it on a civic? dude...wtf you talking about..
I dont think its a waste at all.
im not getting out..im just getting started!
although to satisfy my want for rwd(all of a sudden) i might pick myself an old 5.0
(well see how the the cash flow goes cause i havent been holding back onthe turbo stuff lately)
but if the negative attitude here keeps up...i might be forced to leave for a while...it is kinda demotivating..
