Hi there,

I was searching through tech archives here (getting sick of driveline lash, so I want to change a motor mount), and decided I should join the forum.

About me: I'm 25, sort of a veteran of car forums (9 yrs), like cars and mountain bikes and rock concerts and audio stuff. I'm a mechanical engineer that works in the R&D/design proving department of a cellphone company.

The car: I have a 2001 Accord EX. It's a 4-door, that grey-with-purple-hint colour with a 5-speed and all the options. Had it two years as of next month. I like it a lot... well, hesitate to say I love it, but it's very nice. After spending my youth with an '85 Civic and a very loud and beat-up NX2000, it's nice to have a nice car. Mine is nice too - I'm at 96,000 kms (60,000 mi) and everything's good with it. For a plebian car it's quite good - I can get rubber on the 1-2, the suspension's good and it was lots of fun in the backroads of British Columbia (saw 190 one stretch!). Now if I could get rid of the valve noise and driveline lash...

The 'plan' (read: pipe dream) is to either accept that I drive a 4-cyl Honda and get a sportbike (VFR!) or a sportscar (RX-7 Turbo II), or to replace it with a used BMW 3-series or a Cadillac CTS-V at some point.

Do any of you have sweet cars tucked away? Are you mountain bikers or rock fans?

Welcome to the site. If you want to add some sport to be a garage mate to your 4 cyl, look at an S2000. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
