Default Hello from the S2K's little (and fatter) brother!

Long story short, I've been lurking the S2K forums and NSX Prime for the past few months because my work decided to ban all of the Civic forums for some reason. Anyway, I thought it would appropriate for me to introduce myself and maybe contribute a little to the discussions here when I can.

I'll start off with my car. It's no sleek and sexy roadster like most of you have, but it's still a Honda. I picked up my baby back in 2006 when they first came out and was lucky enough to option a Habanero Red Pearl Si with navigation. My original goal was to save up for an BOM A-Spec RSX Type-S but the navigation in the Si sold me.

The story is long and boring behind this build, but the long and shot of it is that I was fortunate enough to obtain several sponsors for the car and do product development for a few companies and ended up with a fair amount of 'free swag' as it were.

Magnaflow used my car for a tech article in Super Street Magazine for their exhaust, AIT Racing developed a body kit (which I'm sure many of you will find hideous, and a select few might find tolerable), as well as a carbon fiber hood. I did product testing for AFE and Anzo USA but I don't have either of their products on my car anymore - not due to lack of quality or anything bad, I just couldn't use AFEs intake because I upgraded to forced induction and Anzo's headlights just weren't my style. Megan Racing did a coilover install, and I believe that's the jist of it. I also have a Greddy turbocharger, intercooler, HKS BOV, E-Manage (if only Hondata would make a stand alone for the new Si's ), Bride seats with Takata harnesses, and a couple other random bits and peices. Had the car tuned by Church Automotive, which by reputation is a very reliable Honda tuner. The car made a decent 260whp/230tq at 9psi. This is with the stock cat still in place.

Anyways, enough with the boring chatter, here are some photos:

First off.. a few sexy models with my car:







I know what you're thinking - the first one isn't nearly as cute as that hot chick.. er.. robin in the last photo

p.s. if anyone has hook ups with any kind of food mascots let me know my goal is to get them all to pose for my car

...back to the eye candy (or eye sores depending on your taste)












I hope to meet a few interesting people and check out all the impressive S2K's there are on the forums! Heck, if I'm lucky (or if I get a raise), I might be able to move up to one of the bigger and better Hondas and frequent the forums more often!

I made it myself! I was considering making a batch for the S2K and RSX guys, but I don't really know how much it costs to be a vendor here, and I'm not sure if ClubRSX has a vendor program. Either way, my company noticed that I surf CRSX as well and they blocked it. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before s2ki gets blocked too I'll have to be extra sneaky this time around.
