in the beginning... my theory is that this car had a body water running through it at one time...

note: the fan. i needed a car in a hurry because:

domr dumbass decided to back out of his driveway inhis 2006 silverado FULL THROTTLE onto a busy street. i was going 45. i did a 540. intense.

the first 180 degree spin i smashed into a van that was next to me... peep the bondo, nice work scholfeild.

so i bought the coupe, test driving it once. not noticing the smell of mold or the damp carpet.



so in the first week of owning it i steam cleaned the seats, pulled the dash, carpet, all panels in the cab and trunk and disenfected all of the sheetmetal underneath. replaced some of the moldy ass panels. threw in my 791 alarm and replaced the heater core and expansion valve in the evaprator while the dash was out. all of the bushings were hollowed out so i replaced with energy suspension bushings. replaced the inner tie rod on the drivers side and both outers. replaced both axles on the sohc (pointless) replaced shocks/springs. installed gsr rear sway and LCAs. replaced wiper motor and slides. replaced speakers with memphis mclass 6 1/2s in the rear and m class 5 1/4 components up front. alpine 9857 head unit and an eclipse mid/high amp.

i drove it for 3 months and the tranny locked up. luckily, my tranny took a shit on a saturday evening so i had enough time to rectify b4 monday. i put my A2 in the car instead of replacing the tranny. i had to do it alone so it took me from 10 am sunday to about 7 that evening. i started it, drove it around the block. went to bed. woke up in the morning and drove it to work, totally oblivious to the pact that i had a b series. SLOW. it looks good though.

is that a skunk2 manifold i see.. i hope you have internal head work done or that manifold is pointless

yeah cuz on the box it says "must have internal headwork". let's delve a bit deeper into the matter. if you'll notice, in a previous thread i started i said that this motor was a B16A2. Where do B16A2's come from you ask? well sir, they come from OBDII cars. i don't have an OBDII car :frown: what does that mean you ask? well sir, it means that there is an unnecessary vacuum port on the intake manifold. it also means that there is no where on the manifold to mount the IAT because on OBDII cars its mounted on the intake arm :frown: these are problems that are easily solved with an OBDI IM. HMMM should i order one from honda of japan or try and find one off of a B16A3 del sol? or should i just buy the readily available skunk2 IM for 100? guess what i went with.

if u r reffering to the gun...last time i checked a .22 caliber handgun can still kill a man:lol: and i know this becuz i did kill a man with one:eek:

although to me that kind of looks like a beretta 9mm

you killed a man? let me guess: you were sending mixed signals to this man when all of a sudden, he forced himself on you :eek: when your screams of "RAPE!" went unanswered, you pulled your 22 out of your purse and shot him. then you said "no means no"

quite the scenario you have right there...speaking from experience or...?

blood that dripped into the doorskin from the one inch laceration on my forehead as i climbed out of the drivers side window with one arm

merging onto 235 north from k-42 i checked my blindspot noticing a civic in the fast last. i accelerated from 45 to 65 and began to merge into the inside lane and i noticed that the civic was now in the slow lane and i was inches from smashing into it. i swerved right, rear tires broke loose and slid sideways at 65 mph into a light pole, knocking it to the ground as i slid down the embankment.

i have liability insurance only. please send all donations to sk84atg@yahoo.com. totally kidding. unless you want to.

yep, still here. don't know why really. maybe god figured i'd annoy the shit out of him and let me live. who knows. this is intense, it all took seconds. one second i'm merging and the next i'm accepting death in route to a telephone pole at 65 mph.

I still can't believe that shit happened. Owned. Help find this cat another coupe people. This is JDMCOUPECOUNCIL for christ sake. If the picture doesn't do you enough justice, i've seen the car in person, I will vouch that it is not a car anymore but yet a crumpled up piece of metal with a clean swap. (humor) And I can't help but to admire your luck with cars man.
