Hello everyone! I've just come into a great deal on a 99 coupe, so I guess i'll be around for the foreseeable future! A little about me;
I just upgraded to my coupe from a b18b 93 civic hatch. It was my daily for about 4 years, and 65,000kms. The JDM B16 trans with LSD was amazing for even a Canadian winter, even though the car had a 3" drop.

I'm a motorcycle racer.

I'm often referred to by team mates and friends as a "spider monkey" on a motorcycle.

My street bike. BMW S1000RR. 42,000kms on her, and she still ran a 10.01 @ 147 at 3000ft.

My 87 Nissan 200sx with a CA18DET, Currently for sale.

Being that its winter i don't have a decent shot of the accord yet, maybe i'll venture out today and find a nice spot.

I paid $1500. Silver, 170k kms, leather, heated seats and mirrors, spoiler that says Accord on the underside. Very stock. for the past 3 years i drove a slammed 5 speed every day, so its really nice to drive a comfy auto now. All I've done so far, is put a head unit in, cleaned the hell out of it, done some much needed maintenance and thrown in a 12 in the trunk since my civic didn't have a stereo. Lol. I'm over 10 years too late to have a 16 year old stereo, but who knows what will come in the future. Maybe a roof splitting DD, as long as i can figure out a way to still keep some trunk space. Car has one spot of rust in front of the rear drivers quarter. I think i got a great deal.

LEDs (in blue and white) are coming for the cluster. White for the door lights, trunk, cabin light, and reverse lights because its the first vehicle I've had that I've bothered to tint.

Anyways that's enough blah blah'ing. Hopefully i can even be some use for the forum, rather than just a leach. Later!

Yeah, but that's okay. My poor EG was falling apart. You could damn near see daylight through the control arm bushings with the bolt in them. All 4 corners were rusting, bleh. But that LSD and studded tires, I could go anywhere.

That said, Automatic may be boring, but it was time I got out of a 16 year old kids car and into something a little more comfortable.

Welcome to the mother ship. That 200sx :waytogo:

Thanks! Appreciate it.

Welcome to the ite.

Enjoy.

More :canada:, good to see.

Yeah there aren't many of us on here hey?
