Old Member, Returning with hopefully an EJ8

Once upon a time I joined here at age 13/14?? Think 14, anywho, I was reading up on what I could from the forum, asked stupid questions, got flamed, the whole noob/immature kid thing, 17 now. Have 2 cars and a job for a good minute now.

Little story:
At 15 I bought my first car (after months of Craigslist searching) and got a decent condition 93 Accord 10th Anniversary Edition. All stock, needed a bit of work. Well here's before and after (long story short, got my stuff together with the new responsibility and got myself a job and license once I turned 16.)
1st day:

Now? She went through puberty.

So that's that.

Then at 16, weeks before my 17th bday, I got this 93 accord wagon LX for $450, had a slipping trans, went to LA to get a 5 speed swap for the green one and auto tranny for the wagon. Got the auto trans for $100 and put it in at school in my auto class. $600 in repairs and she passed smog. Custom exhaust, OEM cargo cover and net, mesh grille, LED upgrades. Nothing special except bein a wagon (rare).

I'm now trading it (fingers crossed) for a 2000 Civic EX Coupe. Black, 5 speed, 88,00 miles, 20k mile motor, lowered (needa 1 shock replaced) with some drag rims, subframe brace and stage 2 cams. I'm adding $1000 on top. $700 tomorrow, he keeps the rims until I give home the other $300. D16Y8 VTEC motor, pretty clean car. Only bad is the 1 shock and it's salvaged title. He's smogging it tomorrow and WHEN it passes we will trade.

Here's the pics of my red wagon and his black coupe:

And his black 00 civic

All in all a fair deal. Can't wait to trade! Glad to join the civic society!

Welcome

Why not? Nice beach, good looking women, lots of car meets, roads aren't too bad, always amazing weather. No complaints here, thanks for the welcome

Yes it does, and 88,000 miles and 20k on the motor isn't bad either

Noooo!!!!! Not the wagon!!!! Trade the sedan!!!!! Lol

You know how many babes you can crush in the back of a wagon?

Yes yes yes I know haha but the sedan is my first and will never leave, the wagon needs more work to it which is why I'm adding cash on top, I'm looking to get an RT4WD Civic Wagovan this year some time though

Welcome back. Solid lookin accord!

Thank you sir, very much appreciated! She's still a work in progress lol I honestly haven't even started on the accord yet. Big things coming her way in the future!

Wow, i've been searching for someone to trade me a 00 EX for my LS integra for months. It looks really clean. Hope it goes well for you. Welcome back though.

 

[UnLeAsHeD]

Trade didn't go through, he said mine is too loud lol oh well. Time will come and thinks happen for a reason right?

 

[UnLeAsHeD]

Just traded for a da9 so ill be on the club integra forums for a bit

 

[emerican]

nice trade IMO
and you can still be on here with an integra lol just post the build thread in the other section
mod list on the teg or is it stock?
i was going to say with the civic before you traded if it had stage 2 cams like you said to make sure the entire valvetrain had been upgraded to support them, but since you didnt trade no need for all that lol.
post up more pics including bay shots of your new ride.

 

[UnLeAsHeD]

Haha will post here as well. It has the b1 block and I think head, it says P75-2 so I know it's an LS motor just not sure on a1 or b1 head. Has a coolant leak somewhere, exhaust leak and I think needs a head gasket. No thermostat I don't think. Idles high as well so I needa look into it soon. Gonna see if I should just go b20 or stick with the current motor lol
