Since moving to Dallas, I have totaled my coupe, popped my first CA and now totaled my hatch. So I have decided to move on. It's been an awesome 6 years folks. Sold the S13 (or what's left of it) to Cisco (psilycoben7) and we will be swapping everything over to his hatch. He is like my brother (and is one of my groom's men...that's right! Rico got engaged 3 weeks ago!), so it is cool to keep my baby in the family. However, I had to get something else...so... 1994 DB8 with a 2001 B18C1 and ITR cams. AGXs, Eibach Pro-Kit coil sleeves (I am having him rais the ride height way up), del sol seats, HIDs, ITR lip and a few other goodies. It needs a new muffler and some detailing, but I am happy. Don't worry though, I will still be around and with my promotion, I plan to get an S14 and swap in an RB25 soon. Stay tuned kiddos!

LOL. I won't be going anywhere. I plan to showcase my old setup in Cisco's car for you all to see. Plus, I may just be picking up another S13 and CA.

Lo. Nice Gabby. I have always wanted to do a Honda. Either an EF or a DB8. And actually, even with just the ITR cams, it feels really similar to my CA at 12 psi, although not in the mid range. The JR supercharger I am looking at on Craigslist should fix that though.

And considering I wear a suit to work at least once a week (to meet clients) I kind of need something a little less hoodlum to drive every day.

Congrats but don't worry there are others here who drive and build hondas as well as having CA18's. (still working on my ae86 CA18det project as well).

I just spent all day yesterday at a rally cross, and was thinking of cars that would be perfect. This sir, would be it. The want factor is now strong.

My wagon won't do much in the mud anymore except get stuck

Nice DB8 though. Wish I had a 4 door. This RHD prelude I drive is a pain in the a** when you have a 14 month old.

That sucks that you crashed another car. If you're ever in KS, I could give you some driving lesson. At least the next car you wreck won't be a Nissan.

I'm JP, I'm glad the CA is going to good hands, and the new car is going to get you some great gas mileage, LOL!

Well, the first accident was no fault of my own (cops and lawyers agree on that). And this one was my fault. Oh well. Live and learn.

Good luck on your new endeavors. Always liked how clean your original coupe was.

Now that your throwing away the chassis, is it possible that you have 1 or better both Fender extensions. As you see from my signature I'm missing the left side one and the right one is fuglyly patched up with fiber glass.

Kaforlife: It has been raised about 2 inches since that shot and I am adding Skunk2 upper control arms to quell any additional camber issues.

Cams: Vulture. I will pass this onto Cisco. It's his car now. We will be selling some stuff off of it (ARC sidemount and custom hard pipes, HKS HiPower catback, interior stuff, etc)

And the car has a sick Viper alarm (little keychain vibrates when the alarm goes off), so hopefully that will help with others desire for it...
