Default Its good to be back...

Once you are part of a family where you feel right at home, you can go as far as you want but you will always find yourself back home. Thats what happened to me. I started off with an RSX-S as my first car. That became a weekend car when I picked up a 97 Impreza wagon for a daily. Then an '89 240 hatch as a daily, then after that I picked up a green bugeye 2.5RS wagon which became my new daily. I quickly got bored and lost interest in the RSX and bought an 08 Aspen White STi because I had a deal I could not refuse. Well all I can say is I freaking hate subarus now. My STi blew up twice in 2000 miles. Its currently at the dealership with 6,900 miles getting a new shortblock and I've had enough. Its going away when I get it back and I thought long and hard of what I would replace it with and realized that I should have never left Honda in the first place...so I'm back . Now I'm looking for a new daily driver so I'm browsing for some used Civic Si sedans.

I bought the car from Derek14 on here. So far no complaints. Car needs a paint job, and just some TLC and general maint. to get it back to a million bucks.






And for honrorable mention, heres the RSX-S and the STi. RSX was Jackson Racing S/C'd with all the bolt ons. 280whp of 8,600rpm eaton screaming goodness....and yes thanks to that car I will most likely be putting the Static X kit on the AP1.

'02 NBP RSX-S


'08 AW STi
