lol, wow, a little late there coop, and a lil off topic for this dead thread. Maybe, maybe not. The thread itself will always have relevance if your a tuner who is at a cross road in your quest for status, power or other. I personally was in a bad accident right after coming off of a 1st place NOPI win and several other major 1st place show wins before laying in the hospital unable to walk and with a concussion and my vision and purpose still has not changed. Despite my loss, I have some other vehicles in my arsenal which I will bring to the same status as I was bringing the Terrorcel to. Thur all of that I still move forward to the bigger picture in the import game..far beyond a post or a barbecue meet. I just wanted to see what had changed with some of the people here since that time. Now that we are back on topic, how have some of you come along with your cars?

well let's see, i got the car at the auction for 600, wen i was 16 i was.. uhh disappointed.. i didn't know any thing about Honda's, heck i didn't even knew 5 speed, and the car had a buck of details, like the headlight were broken, interior was trashed, Master cylinder went bad, rust in the muffler, Alot of dings and dents.. and needed a frame fix, but you know.. i liked the car (my first car) and also it looked nice, so i started to work after-school in a body shop and stared to fix my car, first, head lights, then tails, i got the hook up with a frame guy that returned every thing to spec, and i mean everything, he measured and measured, wow talk about anal, well, you know highs=ricer bug... and i /gulp* painted the interior red.....welll after all well and done, i got out of high school, (graduated 05' woot) and stared working, (no college for me, too expensive, besides people like me can't get into college any way) so wen i stared working, i was begging to get some money left. so the mod bug stared "what if...?" that wen i began to get serious, bringing back the stock interior, cleaning it, suspension, and now, b/c of my laziness my car was down for abouth... 3 Mont's??? now that i had to do a MAJOR engine overhaul, i felt like i coun't do it, it's too mess up, I said to myself while i stared at the block with out the pistons, and then just like that i beggan the rebuild, and just 4 days ago, wen i turned the key, the car started.... it felt awesome... just awsome, i did it, by myself.. it just could get any better than that, i mean, ME, ME just a regular guy with a passion for cars did it, my whole family and friends were amazed, Leo did it, and today I'm fixing some bugs.... and after this it just hit me, i just wanted to fix teh car, to prove that i could do it, and i made this: already order it, should be coming soon... I'm nowhere close to be a real "tunner" but I'm getting there.. that's my dream, to be called "that guy" that really knows about cars. tanks for reading... too latte to spell check... spelling>me

i like that car. i'd like to see it ridin around. I feel ya on the motor build though. been there done that. its an awesome feeling to turn the key and have it start. its actually kinda fun to have some problems(minor ofcourse) before it really starts, that way it really gets you hype when its done right. nice job man. hope to see it around soon.
