New Guy Finally Got Around To Pics

So I finally got around to taking some pictures. I did a quick wash today, but I still need to polish and wax it. I bought the car August 9th. It had 56,6xx miles on it. I put damn near 3,000 on it in two weeks. This is the first car I've owned that needed a loan, and the first that was less than 6 years old. It's completely stock for now, aside from a new shift knob and boot. I purchased a trunk tray for it as well (I get an excellent hook-up at a Honda dealer). My plans for it includes, XS headers (already ordered, also got new OEM gaskets), Icebox, P2R tb spacer and thermo gaskets, stereo, lower it, 18s or 19s, 6k headlight bulbs, tint, remove rear spoiler and install lip spoiler, remove rear badges, possibly RJ lip kit, and maybe the Comptech axle back. Not exactly in that order though There is a chance that if I keep the car for more than 5 years I will throw a blower on it. But only time will tell.

Without further ado, here she is:






Lets play name that shift knob!






My brothers car. 2008 Accord Coupe V6 6spd w/navi. Gorgeous car. And fast too.


Here's my other cars:

94 Prelude VTEC (for sale), 1988 Civic hatch (for sale), and under the cover is the race car

I also have this:

It's a 1988 NT650 Hawk GT.

As with all my cars, I have big plans for this one. First things first though, oil change!

Hehe. My first mod is my favorite. The knob fits in perfectly with the interior. And it feels slightly heavier than the stock knob.

Believe it or not, I have yet to ride the bike. I haven't taken the MSF course yet and I won't ride until I have. Dam overnight shifts.

So far, I am enjoying it. I've already purchased the following:

XS Headers (going to get them Jet Hot coated)
OEM Gaskets
Icebox
P2R TB thermo gaskets and spacer
Aluminum shift cable bushings
BF-G summer tires
Stainless steel clutch line (going to remove CDD)

Next up are Tein Basics and some wheels.

The only thing that I feel bad about is the mileage. My Prelude has about 140k on it. It had 101k March 07. My job has me driving all around VA and sometimes MD, so the miles really add up quickly. I hope I get transferred to Break/Fix so I get a work van. I think my record for work is just under 1600 miles in one week.

If I keep up at this rate, I'll have to do the timing belt around Christmas

I work for IBM. They have contracts with many different companies. So they send me around to service different machines. I love the job, but the mileage sucks. At least I get IRS rates for mileage.
