The second is a BEAUTIFUL red '86 Si with a modified '87 ls motor/brakes. i love this car...it had everthing i was planning for my '85 when i bought it, so it seems like i'm the buy and go type...but i'm really not...actually i already did a trany on this car....getting ready to rebuild an engine for her too ...i'll get thru this somehow. (there is a supercharger in this car's future....watch out)

OK -- 60 years old, a lot of backyard experience over the years, from 1929 Model A through an '56 MG Magnette sedan, 4 Volvos, 4 VWs, etc. etc. with several engine rebuilds on various engines, but up to now no engine transplants. In the garage is an 87 Integra D16A1 and tranny and 87 Civic SI wiring harness and in the driveway is an 87 Civic wagon. Merging begins in the next couple of weeks. The idea is a car that appears as stock as I can make it w/o giving up too much performance -- a geezer in a sleeper. Wish me luck.

[Airjockie]

Good luck.

38, and feeling much older, but lovin' life. Into cars since the start (car was actually my first word...really). bought my 86 civic Si new, and rebuilt totally once. Just did a ZC. I've supercharged my 91 wagon, and my 1967 MGB I bought in 1980. Rebuilt the motor from scratch on my 62 mini cooper, and done ground up restorations on another mini, 2 1967 MGBs, a 59 Austin Healey Sprite, and 90% done with me 1970 lotus Elan. Generally have 12 cars at any given time because that's all that fit in my garage (30 x 70). I've had 57 cars so far, and counting. Current collection includes a restored '52 Bentley (for sale $18k), 67 Jag XKE, 70 TVR Tuscan with 88 mustang 5.0 and all the fuel injection, 70 lotus, 02 Mini Cooper S, 62 mini cooper, 67 MGBGT, and 2 1963 MGBs, plus 91 Sentra Se-r, 86 civic Si, 91 4wd civic wagon with JRSC and 6 speed. Have had 5 hondas, all with Si engines, even the 4wd wagon.

Rob, you forgot to mention you got spanked at karting last night!

[RETROCRX]

You would too if you had to drive the shit that I had to drive last night!!

Did you see me with my foot sticking out of the kart.......how about driving with one hand......or maybe the hand over my visor around the last corner! That had to be the slowest thing I've ever driven!

I feel sorry for Caius! He had it in the last race!

PS I'm still kicking your ass in the championship!!
