Default DB8 build thread *caution* slower than a sloth

A brief history

First starters, I use to go by "SeanJohn1802" but grew out of that and now use Declectic (D for Daniel and eclectic for my taste) to more accurately describe me.

My 1st venture onto this forum (as you can see by my registration date) was back in 03. My first Honda was a 2000 Honda Civic Si (EM1). Little unknown secret…I started the whole "EM1 Crew" and designed the logo that is still in use today.

My FBP EM1 (aka The Black Rat)


Long story short there, I was young (20/21) didn't manage my money right and ended up giving it back to the back. BOOO… So I went back to my actual 1st car that my parents gave to me before I got the EM1, 95 mazda 626 V6. Well that car's tranny took a dump AGAIN… so we ended up junkin it and my parents helped me to purchase a brand new car.

Enter Winter of 2005… I have 2006 Civic EX (FG1… aka Mr Chunky)


Fast forward to February 2008 and on my commute home to provide the new home builder with financial information for a house that my girlfriend (now wife) and I were planning on buying… the rear driver side tire blew out and caused the car to fish tail and off into the ditch backyards… happened so fast


Wanting to stick to Civics… a friend of the family had a 1993 Honda Civic DX auto tragic. Cut a long story short… he GIFTs it to me… then a few months down the road ask me to pay for it because he didn't want to bother me with money since we had just bought the house and all that jazz (fawking IDIOT)

So here we have Barney! Here he was in his best form… I had planned to do an auto-2-manual swap in the future… go Kswap


But this happened - essentially dumb bitch made a right turn (at a red light, w/out looking) and didnt pay attention to the hoard of cars already going on the green light and right into Barney he went. Sold the car for $550 in July 2013


HISTORY OVER - Present:
My very first Integra. purchased in July 2013. Paid $4600 for it (priced a little high but it's in super clean condition)


So this will be my DB8 Build thread and it WILL BE SLOW. At the moment that I post this, I'm unemployed unfortunately, so money is super limited. In addition wifey and I had our 1st child… so my funds have priority these days.
