Default Hello all from the NW

Just thought i would put my little "new member" posting up. Reside in Vancouver, Washington. New to the Honda game but familiar with it due to bro n law rockin the DA integra. Just picked up a 95 EX Coupe 5 speed vtec with 110,000 on motor and 116,000 on body for a steal of a deal @ $1,200....thats right only $1,200. It has a terrible paint job, wiring is all kinds of bass ackwards, I have already replaced the harmonic balancer, serpentine belt, alternator, battery, removed the pwersteering, and relocated the battery to the trunk, as well as cut the springs a lil so it didnt look like a damn rally car...lol...also threw on a cold air intake and painted both the intake and valve cover. Plan on swapping for the H series of course, with pretty much replacing the whole interior of the car to go with the new color that will be on the exterior...looking to go gloss black on ext and tan interior with black trim thru out. If anybody in the Washington/Oregon area have good leads on parts and what not please let me know...like most of us on here...buildin on a budget.

PS will get some photos up thru out the rebirth of my 95 coupe.

Haha yeah, only two cars I'd get rid of the RX7 for are a R33 or R34 Skyline GTR or a Lotus Exige.

If I could do the Accord game all over again I would do a boosted F22b1. Make far more power than a H22 and if it blows up(which they love boost), they are cheap to replace unlike the H22. But thats just my .02 cents.

I never had a turbo f. I had a nitrous f, h22, h22, and f20b and wish I had gone turbo from the start.
