Wow that shit is slammed. Not a fan of the black wheels though..

Hey man.. do you remember me?.. i had the black CL.. i talked to you last year at DKN...
what plans do you have for your EL now?.. the 1.6 EL's are too common in canada.. however the 1.7's are still good. your ride looks clean.. same license plate?

8g's for a k20? in canadian funds or US? cuz hotdamn.. 8g's US for a k20 swap is ridiculous. you're way better off swapping a b-series and throwing on a turbo kit with that kind of money.

The EL's are real popular in Canada, but they are better than civics. An EL is basically a luxury civic, just like the CL is a luxury Accord. That was really too bad that your H22 CL got stolen after you had spent so much time making it quick. You may have been the only Canadian to do the H22 swap into a CL. Anyway, its nice to see you making a return to this site.

EL is kinda odd... Never seen one till now. I like the idea, but that 1.6/1.7 liter has to go. I think he's on to something with the K20.
