3 cars, 2 people the one without AC tends to stay at home and i do not mean my Mazda..
Nothing wrong with those cars. They have a bad rep since some people born with an extra chromosomal pair like to alter them according to their own tastes. I wouldn't mind owning an old one for the mpg's and to put the miles on that vs the p5. Unfortunetly, any used ones around here have already been fudged up by "those people". My sister has always owned them, my Mother drives a Pilot. I know they are reliable, but honestly, I've never seen one of their cars I really wanted. I love the look of the P5, Honda doesn't do that for me

Great engines from what I've read and heard it's just the bad rep that gets me. There's one in the parking lot here at work and it has a 4 inch muffler on it with the rear panels rusted out. It's a beater so it's not taken care of the best.
lolMy aunt's family has quite a few for DD purposes in nice shape. Her family is all about cars: 2 car garage on the house, 5 car garage in the backyard, they whole family (Mom, Dad, 2 sons) race 4 wheelers around the country. The older son has been in truck modding for the past 20 years. The younger son owns many thing. Lifted super-duty, built CF Hyabusa, 722hp mustang cobra, etc. They have some EF and EJ hondas for DD in great shape.

the Honda works great for what it is, bare bones drive to school so the good cars do not get banged up in the parking lot..
Also found out that the clear on my VC is peeling off already.. So looks like i get the pleasure of redoing all of the orange parts i HATE to hopefully be the color i wanted originally this winter.. Im really tired of doing things twice because of bad work and craftsmanship.. This is why like many others i prefer to do things myself so that i know its done properly, never again.
Lots of pics coming this weekend once i get a few mins to calm down and clean the outside of the car for moar pics..

either way it should never have happened with the time the cars actually been running.

runs, working on changing all of the maps i was given since they did not work well at all for my setup, need to finish the O2 map and road tuning should be done. Just no time to get the car dialed in with work and family right now, its also not a priority since i can still drive it NA without issues

well working long days tends to not make you want to work on a car after. Id rather sit and enjoy time with family and friends. Plus every time i look at the car right now i find something else that bugs the ... out of me.

I know what you mean. I already noticed that my coils sitting with the lines not overlapping the same and knowing while Im at work it's still sitting like that is bugging me. 12 hour days the past week and a half haven't been nice on me
But she won't be running until the injector seals get here so ehbikingpro5

I cant finish the maps till mine get here either for the 440s, plus a few other things i need to take care of like PS, that line/fitting, need to get the side skirt sitting right on passenger side, need to install the rest of the interior, figure out a stereo, and find time to clean it. Most will not happen this year at all.. too busy trying to enjoy life
