wearing ur hmt thong as club wear is also a fad

Re:fad?
 

I've noticed this for a while, it's the "my civic is a muscle car" type thing. I guess in the 60s all the rich punk kids drove around in GTOs and ----.. day and age. There are also plenty of mustang/camero drivers out there too.

Re:fad?
 

Dam Gerald...you found me out. :P

But actually it was my mom that paid for mine ;)

Re:fad?
 

understatement of the year.

Re:fad?
 

I'd say it's definately becoming bigger. With as many kits as I sell to non-hmt members, we may have to start looking for "the next big thing". ???

Re:fad?
 

I think in general most people mod hondas because it's a fad... duh. There's car people, then there's the people that buy the car for a fad. Example: old mustang gurus vs. all the people that bought one after Bullitt came out... sound familiar? most car guys can recognize who is and who isn't one of us... it's like gaydar.
maybe I've said too much...

Re:fad?
 

I bought my honda cause my eclipse broke down... and I needed a car the next day... and i only had 5000 and it cost exactly 5000...

As far as boosting my car... ive been planning it almost since i got it. Did a little research and found the site. this was almost 3 years ago...

I dont want to be a sellout and get a swap... i know i can get more HP with a boosted LS or GSR... but i just want to build up my D-ingleCAm do my own thing and not give a ---- what every other little rich 2000 SI driving, Drag kit sporting, Have everything installed by shop, JDM poser looking ---- has to say..... ---- em... fuckem and their fat wallets.... anyone who doesnt work on their own cars is a poser in my opinion

And the next mother fucker that ask's me "Why dont you go B-series... is getting kicked in the nutts"

Re:fad?
 

no no no... it's ---- their sisters and steal their ----...

Re:fad?
 

so --------, why dont you go b-series? :P

Re:fad?
 

Cause i dont want to jump on the B-series bandwagon....

That and parts are expensive like hell.... 650 for a tranny... ---- that...500 for a block... no ------- way...450 for a head... you gotta be smoking crack....

Re:fad?

auto with manual gear select...someone must figure this out...

Re:fad?
 

the trannys actualy come in any color you want. they use lsd, and a special syncro that is carbon fiber coated, so that theres no grinds at high rpm's
im sure a nice black paint would look good :)

Re:fad?
 

carbon fiber synchros huh? coun't me in! I'm sure it would last a long time!(sarcasm)

Re:fad?
 

i ment carbon coated :-[
here it is on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33733

Re:fad?
 

my penis is carbon coated... don't buy from that guy.

Re:fad?
 

hmm, yeah there are a lot of hondas out there, I bought mine cause it was only $3500 for a 1996 no rust, and 160,xxx kms on it, cant go wrong I drove it all winter, and it's my 1st car, the d16 in it is geting boring now so I tot Id change motors, I bought a B18B1 for $500 every thing in perfect condition and I got an LSD tranny to go with it... for another $600 = $1100 for every thing, no parent borowed money just hard work and I am doing the swap my self in my own home garage and so will the turbo set up as well once I figure out how to bolt one on, that is... lol

but in some parts I have to agree with most of the comments made by all of you...

Re:fad?
 

I bought my honda cause I'm a ricer, i actually thought those fart cans and euro rails were the best thing since sliced bread

Re:fad?
 

just turbo the d16, then when it blows turbo the b18 with the system you acquired.
