I've been away quite a few years only to pop in every so often, some may have noticed my random presence lately.

A little background of me and what ie been up to these last 7 yrs...

Well I'm now 26 yrs young, still bboying as some might remember but I've managed to father a boy(2) and a baby girl only 8 months with another baby girl on the way. As of the last 5 yrs I've been employed as an electrician for amusement park rides and large automated machines. Currently I'm the youngest in my work place by about 25 yrs lol. I'm also a local small business owner and used car broker. In the last three years I've managed to secure an exclusive account with my local Honda dept as an authorized parts distributor and certified used car broker which was an incredibly time consuming and tedious process. As awesome as I hoped the Honda deal was gonna be, it's proven to be extremely difficult to juggle everything while maintaining hobbies and being a good father. So this year I plan to make the switch from my full time electrician position to become the independent business owner I've been trying to be.

With that being said I've managed to hold onto my 87' Si civic for many years with the intentions of using it as a shop/track car that represents my company and what I do. My plan is to continually buy pre-00' Hondas to restore them to oem specs while offering the dealer options that were available, not only for a specific model but many others. I had an amazing learning experience my first two years attempting to do so and put my family in a new house through my efforts, however I also had some downers along the way. So now with my resources and priorities in order I'm just about ready to get a small building to make this a reality once again.

My current fleet of vehicles consist of a 97' civic hatch that is on its way to being k powered.
A bone stock 95' EX coupe that is the daily.
Of course the 87'
Also my cherished convertible 89' Mitsubishi Mighty Max.

Here's a few pics of the w.i.p.s....

This was my 97' after I owned it about a year, very little done at the time. Stock y7 with bolt ons and si rims was about the pinnacle before I totaled it the first time :/

After my first accident I had enough money to buy some decent parts, starting with a vis carbon hood and SiR headlights, SiR gauge cluster, ctr steering wheels, Si seats and y8 head. I was happy with it this way...until accident 2 which I escaped certain death in a canyon after driving like a jackass around 3am a deer decided to check me..

So after the second accident I decided I had invested to much time, money and memories into the car not to save it. This time around I had to replace the entire front end and frame. So I knew paint was in order. I picked up SiR front and rear bumpers, oem jdm fenders and side markers. Jdm thin moldings,oem ctr headlights, ctr carpet and floor mats, oem ctr front and rear lips(not in the first pic) ctr arm rest delete and shift boot, ctr track model gauge cluster, SiR navigation and random spoon goodies. This was also the time I decided to go K!

So that's how she sat for many years in storage as I slowly began searching for parts... I managed source a complete Si interior, wheels and original hub caps, sunroof bag but no visor! Nos rear quarter windows.

Right on dude, thanks for the update. This site is pretty dead recently, most people just linger on FB.

Blacktop is right! Spring time hopefully... Still trying to source a cg trans locally.

Appreciate everything you do chedda, seems you've came a long way also these last few years. I've noticed the forums are a bit slow these days but I'm a Facebook hater, plus I love this site so I'll plan to keep all my updates here.

Always glad to hear opinions and knowledge from my fellow peppers!
