Default New 05 Formula Red owner

What's up everyone? 24M in the USAF, stationed at Barksdale AFB. Just traded in my 04 civic for the S2k. I loved my civic, but it just was not meant to be a performance car. Ran a 14.6@96 mph with slipping clutch and a 50shot plus bolt-ons and 15.1@90 NA. So instead of being limited to a bottle I decided to step up to a real performance car. I am in love with this car and so is everyone else.
Heres some pics I took with my crappy cam.



old car


No plans to mod at the moment. Maybe some wheels after I finish remodeling my house. Eventually will run her at the 1/4 track when temps go down just to see what she'll do and maybe try some auto x. Really don't want to abuse it at the track too much. Just want to keep it clean and looking/running good as my daily driver. Picking up a crx for a beater/track car.

Hey Redline - Nice NFR! I was stationed at Barksdale in the early 80's myself. Will never forget the wonderful summers there. Miss the old SAC days too!

I separated. I was 24 when I left there. Damn that was a long time ago! Are you in bombers? Man I loved seeing all those BUFF's on the ramp. I was (still am) in flight simulators back then.
Yeah I was kidding about the summers being nice. I'm from Arizona originally so I was able to endure it somewhat.
