Default i threw away my OEM parts

i have owned my AP2 for about 2 years now and i bought it used at a Honda dealership in Fresno. i have driven the car only about 50 times and spent about 5 days of that in modifications and tuning. so far nothing has broke since ive owned it or after modding it but one thing that just hit me, i "THREW AWAY" every part i have replaced without even thinking to sell or give it away to other users that needed it. am i retarded? i did keep the stock 05 wheels though its a shame, these parts were immaculate, better than most of the used stuff on ebay. WTF was i thinking????

i dumped the airbox, suspension, injectors, fuel pump, grill, front brace thing, and complete exhaust except for the cat. was any of that worth anything in immaculate condition? im kinda broke now and i wish i sold some of that stuff even for a few bucks lol i didnt realize how pretty stock headers are? this really is a like a race car

my lil bro took a buch of pics of my car but i dont have any of them, only what i have as my profile pic. the TC105Ns are pretty dope, not too common, super light and maybe stronger than some of volks wheels. the offset are barely enough to fit our cars when slightly lowered, but not slammed. i have the 9" in the rear with 255/40s and i had to have the fender lightly rolled, the fronts were 8" on 235s and fit fine. my car is only lowered like 1 1/2 inches on kw v3 and i have 3 degrees of camber in the rear. my tire to fender spacing is about 1 1/2 to 2 fingerish all around. i need to get the center cps for my wheels, i have the stock caps covering the front hubs because they are mad ugly, the rear has the axle exposed.

Lol me neither I had old stock rims from my integra gs-r. They were pretty much near mint, and when I got new wheels for it, I thought what would I do with those old rims? nah take/trash em. Well little did I know those old blades can get a decent price. *sigh* called the shop back the next day and asked if they still had em. "nope, recycled em' uh huh.... suuure they did =)
