HELLO FROM SOCAL =)

names brandon. im in San Diego.

i will let the pics do the talking.

i am a honda technician by trade. mostly turbo stuff though. not really a "scene" guy. just like to make honda's go fast. i build motors and stuff. everything i learned i learned either from or with my best friend frank of frankbuilt. the race car is not mine per-see, but its his and he owes me money im trying to help him sell it.

i really want a 9thgen Si, as Bisi has already started playing with them... but i will most likely just get a hybrid or something.

i have to sell one of my honda's in order to buy a 9th gen...

oh and the AP1 is my cuz's. we are either going to help him build it and boost it or just sell it so we can put the money towards something like a new CR-V, or hybrid, or new Honda. possibly a race car. he is going to school so we'll just see what we feel like doing when the time comes. we are keeping our options open.

ill post more i have to do some emails and troubleshoot a dizzy on a DA integra real quick. thanks guys and look forward to meeting some of you someday. also who is going to ORANGE COUNTY AUTO SHOW?? text me @ 213 271 8722 if you want to meet up. i think it would be cool.
 
welcome to the site... so is the black 6thgen civic your current car? Do you actually work for a honda dealership as a tech?
 
its still in Oregon. i have yet to bring it down here. its garaged. super rare, super well taken care of Si. i was factory-trained, but track taught if that makes any sense. just doing my own thing now where/when i can. the plan is to get SMOG cert'd here, and then open a check and repair but times are tough so we'll see. but uh, lets just say with my driving record no Honda Dealership in the states with touch me with a ten foot pole LOL.

and i actually am biking it these days, as the roads here are so HORRIBLE that i can barely drive any of my cars. and its always nice. and im getting old and the wifey wants me to stay in shape. and i tend to get tickets when i drive. the CRZ is an excellent daily but in all honestly my girl drives it more than i.

if anyone knows anyone ;) ;) i am looking for a nice low mile well taken care of daily driver...

something that i dont really care about getting dinged, or scratched by these harley guys with crap dangling off the side of their choppers swerving in and out of traffic (is it seriously legal to just rampage around and through cars on a bike in Cali?) and something that is STOCK height.

a stockish 99-00 Sedan or even a 96-98 would be legit.
 
my cuz just spun the s2000 out in the rain. not much damage, just some cosmetic stuff. it was on the 8 eastbound in the rain. i am making him sell it now. will post pics soon.
 
is the only damage the blown wheel on the s2k?

yea, its fixed. it was actually the cause of the whole thing. i thought it was my idiot cuz driving too fast or something but it turns out it was a blowout due to a a pothole just east of the college exit on the 8. so the crack and hole laden Interstate 8 is the culprit in my book. we are filing a claim as we speak, but not holding our breath..

http://www.sandiego.gov/riskmanagement/pdf/claim.pdf

oh the stock muffler exit pipe has suffered a bend, but we are deleting the super restrictive factory exhaust anyways lol.

PS BOYCOTT CHEAP CHINESE TIRES> I TOLD HIM NOT TO GO THAT ROUTE BUT HE IS STUBBORN AS AN OX. AND SUPER CHEAP. the tire has less than 400 miles on it. only two weeks old. we barely even drive the S.
 
Holy crap. I love this introduction thread. Your CR-Z is simply a beautiful car. I would love to own one.

And welcome to the site.
