The Orange Skittle
I would like to personally say congrats to Mike for winning another ROTM. Like the others he deserved to win because of the amount of work, time, and money he has put into his accord. It has changed drastically since the last time we had it representing our site. So without further delay I present to you MikeyMike's Supercharged J36 6 speed.
1. Is this your first car? Technically no, my mom had a Dodge Neon that I first drove for a while. But then with her working and me going to school. I said I have a license and needed to stop taking the bus.
2. How did you end up with the accord? I bought the Accord in '02 and have come a long way with it. It was FBP and had 59,000 miles on it. Bought it from a nice older gentleman who lived about 30 miles from here, but worked here so it was all highway miles and car was kept very very clean.
3. When did you first start modifying cars? my dad had an '85 Camaro that he nicknamed "silver bullet". Granted I was a baby, I would still lurk around while he messed with it. To where I was big enough for him to let me help swap tires, change parts, even sit on his lap and drive.
4. Did you run into any problems along the way when
you were modifying stuff? Who doesnt? If you don't your not modifying. At Englishtown one day I heard the P.A. announcer say "Built cars break" and I smiled because its true
5. Why do you do it? Why not leave it stock? At 1st it didnt matter to me. Then I got to the point where i wanted people to know it was me who drove by. Now its to the point where I want some of the guys here on 6GA and my friends to open a magazine and see my car there and be like "WOW I KNOW HIM!"
6. What other mods do you have planned for the car?
Finish the fuel system, tune, and then I'm just about done. I'll have to spend enough to maintain the car now, and I'll eventually work on interior little by little.
7. Any other cars you're tinkering with? None that I own. My friend has a TSX that we are under the agreement that "I build he buys".. So I take credit for how his car looks haha.
8. What's your favorite thing about your car, specifically? Which money do you feel was your best investment? Seeing that I have done so much. Engine to tranny to supercharger to custom paint.. It would definitely be the Transmission. In my opinion it completely changed the car to me. Having gone through 3 auto trannys, one more and I was ready to sell the car. Then I stumbled across this swap that everyone was thinking about trying, and figured why not?
9. Is there anybody you would like to credit or thank for helping you along the way? Everyone.. 6GA and family, because I know I can get under peoples skin. Mom for letting me spend money on the car. My friends for helping me when I needed it. Jae @5050 Movement in NJ, hes my mad scientist. I owe him a lot of credit on the engine/trans. J&B BodyWorks. p2r, RCTperformance, PROformance Industries
