Officially out...

[nyknick1015]

... of the honda scene but I still got love for all my fellow 6th gener's..

Honestly I never thought the day will come that I will own a car other than a honda accord but the day has come... Ive had almost every generation accord and they have been nothing but good to me. If those who remember be, I had a silver 6th gen back in the day, sold it and got a 7th gen and was around for a while. Well I sold the 7th gen this past week and picked up a lexus is250

thats not me btw, thats the detailer!

Cellphone pics now but expect nice pics soon... I had to take a break from modding cars for a year or so because I had student loans to pay. Paid off my grad school loans, now all i have is undergrad loans to pay so I will be modding this car VERY LIGHTLY!

And i bet you guys thought, hey, maybe he will get another project car that might be an accord... and I definitely almost did because my friend wanted to sell me his f20b swapped 6th gen but no :-(. I opted for something else

I got this rolling frame for 300 with title

but i couldnt help it cuz i found a 2jz for real cheap. runs but needs new turbos, and maybe a little engine work

Keron, congrats on the purchases.

Makes sense to get rid of one car and pick up two!

I'm sure the Silvia will end up being more fun than the IS, but, that's understandable.

yeah, it was the perfect time for me to do this financially as well. Plus my friend got me into Chump Car Racing. you have to race a car thats less than a certain build value which is awesome. and affordable (kinda)

I am going to 24 hour of lemons this weekend racing my friends $500 porsche build

 

[SykVSyx]

Awesome, looking forward to seeing the progress of both cars.

After the winter we last had in NY, and how my car was all over the road with fwd, I really wanted AWD. I thought about getting a subie but impossible to find a low mileage one, Audi, i had a bad experience with my friends A4 heater control. No matter what day it was, the AC/heat was stuck at 81 degrees and wouldnt turn off, and it would turn on automatically no matter how many times you pressed off

Plus, Ill make you jealous because I picked up this car for $12.5k with only 70k miles on the odometer. It was this guy from kansas, had the car shipped over to NY, lives right in the middle of manhattan on 42nd and 6th ave (thats directly next to time square for those that dont know) and was paying 600 a month to garage the car that he almost never drove. He wanted a quick sale so i kindly took it off his hands

Its actually alot of fun. I helped build the last car my friend did, it was a Porsche 944 NA. Trying to keep the budget under 500 was HARD as hell. when ever you bought something, you had to sell something to keep it in the budget. (minus the roll cage, thats required)

 

[Valet]

Yeah if you want an IS with AWD you have to get a 250. Unless you can afford at least a 2011 when they started offering it with the 350.
