Sauceja build thread
Hello all,
Some of you may have seen me around last couple days so I thought I would formally introduce myself.
My name is Jeff, I am 33 yo and live in New Mexico in the southeast corner by Texas.
I have been modifying and tinkering with hondas for quite a few years and most notably around here with my 92 civic hatchback with an H2B swap. It put down 206 whp at motiva in albuqurque NM at the 09 statewide honda meet. More than the K20 swapped hatch there.
I had a lot of work into that car and now looking back selling it was the best thing that happened to me because now I have my TL.
I work in the oilfield down here for Halliburton so I have more money than time latey.
I look forward to meeting some of you and helping out and sharing where I can.

Welcome to the thunder dome!
Nice ride, and im sure all the questions you have, already been answered. The search feature does wonders, and you can really get a lot of info out of the Zine. I mean ALOT lol. But im sure you already know this seeing as you've been lurking & posting...
Happy modding to you!

welcome. just wondering, is your back windshield also 10%?
the place i went to get my windows tinted i told them i wanted 20% on the back windshield but when i stand behind the car and look in (even at night) i can still see thru it. it looks more like 35% to me.
but after looking at your car and seeing how you said you got 10% all around, i'm guessing its normal for my back windshield to still be able to see through even at night

Thanks eveyone
It is 10%, without having tint on front shield you will get enough light pass through to see through back glass.
Especially mid day.
I am afraid of heights so a drop will be first and the rims were curb rashed pretty bad being an NYC car so those will be next.
Being a motorhead though I am sure that go-fast parts will be followed shortly behind, just gotta get a couple other things paid off before I can play with this one
I wore out my search button on H-T i think mine is pink now
but I am sure I will ask dumb already asked questions from time to time.
Will have to dig around for some pics of the older rides. Most of them are on H-T somewhere.

Yeah, I just bought a set of H&R sport springs. Gonna put them over stock shocks for now. Hope that won't be a huge problem. Plan on getting tokico blue/yellow in about 25-30k miles after do some more important stuff.

Thanks everyone ^^^ I have been posting in UA7 Squad thread alot more than here.
Yeah I was worried they wouldn't look good but with the tinted windows they really get set off.
If the car was white or ASM I am not sure they would look good not painted?? I like them and got them from Ack here on AZ.
That last one?? Thats my springfield xd-45 and my spikes tactical M4 with a few choice mods.
I have had the exhaust for a little over a month just never got around to posting pics.
I also have red LED's throughout interior and will be installing iSimple this week and routing wiring for the kicker P1's I got.

Finally washed a car more than any other car I have ever owned. Pics of rotors are because it sat for almost 2 months without being driven and no rust.
Have to do seats next

Seen these rolling and fell back in love with them.

Shoot I work 24 hours on call 14 days straight the 7 days off. I average 110 hours a week.
Unemployment rate here is around 3.8% and that is due to people who can't pass pre-employment screenings.

so you are working on the drilling site then, same with people who work on the oil rig in Gulf of Mexico they work similar hours to your described. Can't pass pre-employment screening meaning what? drug screen and back ground check or lack of experience on oil industry?
