My Old Civic


much thanks to reynold for taking the only pics of my car

My dad bought me a 98 civic EX in late 97 as a graduation gift. I modded this thing like no tomorrow, not super fast, but I was happy. I slammed the car with neuspeed race springs before I even got license plates. My team and I went to this autocross event at the stadium and I was hooked on suspension parts, that's why I have all those suspension stuff. I should have saved all that money and got a GSR or possibly a turbo or something. Lesson learned here. I had fun though.

The car was totaled when a Sport Utility Vehicle ran a red and I hit the side of the SUV and flipped that Blazer on its side. I was so pissed, but at least I'm okay. My girlfriend was with me, but we're doing much better now. It was a learning experience. Make sure you look before you cross even if it's a green.

More stereo stuff
A little bit too bouncy for me in the long run

I don't remember if this is my very first timeslip or possibly the second. I lost one of them, so i'm not sure. Whoever would know I was going to race a 10 second muscle car. Sheesh. It's a really pathetic time, but I acknowledge that. I figure it was my first time out and that's partly the reason. I'm a better driver now... but not my much. hahaha!
