Me & manual transmissions don't get along to well so I stick with auto, I'm not trying to race, I did back in the day but now have too many responsibilities to be getting crazy plus it's my DD & I'm a stay at home dad, it's mostly an appearance build but I may give it a little more power under the hood when my son gets older.
It's good that you have all your priorites set. its lookin really good man. you could always do an automatic h22 out of a prelude!

Haha, your right, but that would be down the road but a good idea, I really need to get it lowered, 4x4 status needs to be gone, might try to save for those before I do lips.

Are you gonna lower it on springs or going for coilover setup?

In a perfect world I would buy some FnF type 1's & call it a day but I will see what I can afford in the next few months, I think one of my rear struts can't even be reused so it will need to be replaced, what are some of your suggestions?

Yea, it's kinda funny, I went to a meet & felt like I was old compared to all the kids out there, then this guy gets out of a Mitsubishi 3000gt & he is in his 50's, nice car though & he blended in no problem, so how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Hehe, they should make a drag strip in the parking lot of the grocery store, get a Recaro baby seat for my son, let's see who's baby rides the fastest, now that sounds like fun!

I'm 34. I got my first civic about 6 years ago, grew up in the Detroit area and my old man works for Chrysler, so getting an import was pretty much sacrilege lol. Of course, I realized I was supposed to stay away because they'd show me how much better they were than shitbox 'murican small cars are. How many nice 92 escorts or 91 dodge shadows you see rolling around? Exactly XD It's just such a raw minimalist well-designed easy to get to everything go-kart that I was hooked once I started messing around with it. The aftermarket support is just sweet and even though I've got an old 525i, I still like my Civics more. I made fun of hatches too, and now I love em and own a pair. Go figure.
