The time has come to move on...
 
I have decided to sell my civic that I love so much.

I just want a new project, want to start out with a new base and expand on it, instead of with the 'same old' civic I guess you could say.
I know enough about it and I know the car inside and out but I just want a new challenge.

I am thinking of picking up an Evo 8 (unmodified) and work on it. It will definately be pimping homemadeturbo.com stickers (provided I am allowed to put them on a dsm... ;) )

I am still frequenting hmt, but with school back in session I have my nose in the books more. I am trying to make it through this semester and then back to work to put more money toward a car.

Here is the web linky

any questions, feel free to ask if you want to help me sell the car.

it is definately not set in stone on what I am getting, i know I want something new.

no matter how many times i enjoy suprise attacks on higher priced cars than mine i still cannot get over the fact that the windows move up so slow...

i looked at an s2k, but the insurance... and the fact that it is a roadster... but boy do i like it.

fook - the homemade part... even cars on here that came factory turbo'd (example vw gti) doing mods to that by yourself i would consider homemade

civicracerx7 - ya, i have beat a slightly slighty modified evo from a roll.. well kept up not whooped on him and yes my car is not nearly the price

but it has come to the point where i want to start out on something, something new and do my own thing again. i have had more than enough fun working on this car.

i just want to spend more time on the next project and use the experience i gained from this one - as i learn to tig weld i would like to use SS intercooler piping (from work - for free =) ) and make even a 'homemade' project look nice.

If you bought an evo you'd definately have to change your screen name, cause rollmodel you wouldn't be, but on the doing something new, I'll still consider your screen name. ;)

im all about trying something new but getting something new?...there nothing homemade about that. but to each his own...

Re: The time has come to move on...
 
fabbing up a new manifold, dp and charge piping and exhaust would be truly homemade. and its not homemade unless you JB weld your bov on there ;D

the only way i can do something new is because i have a friend with a del sol vtec, that we are turbocharging... again (stupid 'tuner')

I am looking at something slightly used, I have looked at many different cars and I have saved up money from working at my co-op, it will be 'new' for me but not like 2005-2006 new.. I am not rich and since I am paying for this myself.

i would never buy a brand new car. once you take it off the lot it loses its value :-X

A majority of the kits on HMT aren't homemade. They buy a manifold, buy an oil line kit, buy pre-chipped ECU's running BBKA map :-\, buy a chargepipe kit and say its all homemade. There are a very few people on this site who have actually built a whole turbo kit from welding the manifold together to chipping their own ECU's. As parts are becomming cheaper creativity just isn't there and thats why all turbo Hondas kits are looking the same.


Get the EVO, sell me the turbo and make your own kit for it. ;)

You should pick up an older Evo 6, I think they are much nicer than the new ones.

J-SMITH69 08-30-2005 02:12 AM

Re: The time has come to move on...

The Evo 5's and Evo 6's are my favs. But Evo VIII's are still sex, I'd hit it ^-^

Whatever you do man, good luck with it ;)

i love owning evo's... ------ lil spoiled kiddo's gettin evo's cuz they see people on tv racing them in rally makes them think there all fast. n the fact that it cost like 15x more then my car did is what makes me smile. i came to a point where honda felt like it was gettin old but now that im in my new project already n sold the integ, im coming to a point where im startin to turn back lol. bouta pick up a hatch/crx shell hopefully for dirt cheap jus to play with cuz possibilities are endless. even tho my new project will walk all over it it'll still be fun.


buy ur evo n get stomped on by everyones 3k dollar cars HAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

p.s. evo6 ------ owns... but i <3 evo3
