New from Longview, Washington
Yeah, my honda was origanily a car for commuting in, but I get these evil thoughts in my head that say "make it go faster." So with help from a couple friends and $1500 later, I was enjoying the look on peoples faces when i'd pop the hood of my honda up and let them look at the super .60 turbo strapped to a sohc motor that either gave them a run for their money or blew their doors off at the track. Before the #3 cylinder went on me, i was putting down 220 whp at 9.5 psi. I lost interest in the civic after about the 3 motor in as many months.
I've always loved muscle cars, use to go to nhra events all the time from grade school to middle school with my dad. I grew up hearing stories about him drag racing at PIR and Woodburn when he was in high school. I've actually always like the chevy II's and camaros, but after seeing my buddies duster and him telling me how they are a lot cheaper to get then other muscle cars got me turned on to them. Besides, I've always wanted to build a muscle car and this looks like a great starting base for another enjoyable money pit! 8)
Wow, I wrote a novel. Anyways, here were some pics of the install on my old civic for anyone who wants to see it. No pics of an a body yet since i'm in the market for one.
And the final product (it was suppose to be a 4 hour install but everything that could go wrong did and turned into a 15 hour install).
