    Red face My intro that i never gave you guys =P

    Sup guys... well i never got the chance to intro my car to you guys. I finally decided to snap some pics (with my phone) and show you guys.

    Lemme know whatchu guys think! And ask me any questions!

    Look at those two patches on the roof, i have no clue what the previous owner was trying to accomplish with those patches


    here's the left side, you can clearly see it's missing the black moulding on the left fender. And there's also an ugly dent on the fender flare


    again with the stupid patching right under the honda sign


    paint chipping bottom right of the bumper =(


    the butt =) i think it's one of the nicer features of the 3g


    you can barely see it but the hood doesn't sit even...right there where the right headlight is


    there's that dent, have no clue how that happened. Probably from the previous owner


    and there's the a20xx iono i always thought it was the a20a1. Just cuz i saw it said that on wikipedia.

    Yeah when we first got it my dad had it for a week and he cleaned up the engine bay.

    And yeah could use some minor body work...I have yet to sand out those stupid patches, and there's a few rust spots.


    Future plans:
    -Mount fogs (bought from kragen)
    -destroy those gay patches
    -tokico hp's in the back for sure. Possibly in the front as well.
    -Oldskool/Mesh type rims--I plan on 15''
    -Make friends with someone at a body shop, so i wont have to pay top dollar to fix small dings.

    Hmm...some random facts:
    -Odometer reads 284xxx and rising. I drive a lot being that i have family spread throughout the bay area+my girlfriend lives in Daly City
    -2 of my tires have been punctured and patched. And I've ran about 26k+ on all four tires and it looks to me as they've got a little more than 50% life left
    -I get 34mpg when taking it "easy" shifting at 3k 65-70mph on the highway
    -I get 29mpg when doing "harder" driving...I'll leave it to your imagination to define harder driving
    -My interior fan has been out for a month, and we just recently were able to replace the DRIVER's side window regulator. So i've been dying in the heat not being able to have my driver side window open
    -A/C works! R12! 38-39 degrees i think.
    -oh and i only change oil every 3 months. Regardless of how many miles i drive
