I am 22. I bought my del Sol in 1996 brand new. Its a 1995 S model del Sol. had 23 miles on the odometer. and i started modifying it in 1997 with a K&N and Suspension tech sway bars and Nuespeed strut tower braces and So on..
Jan 7th 2000 I decided to spray the 1.5L motor.
Jan 8th 2000 I decided to put a new motor in the car.
Now its just a never ending money pit that i throw my weekly pay check too.
My car is closer to what i want. but still not quiet there. So i guess I will continue throwing money at it till i get what i want [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, I'm 28, blonde, blue eyed and like long walks on the beach.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I have had the 'teg for about two years now, supercharged for about 1 year of that. I stepped up from an SOHC custom turbo Civic that gave me numerous issues. I could never get what I wanted out of it and I realized that giving up 40 horses to the Integra right off the bat was not where it was at. I started lurking on the board soon after getting the 'teg and started chiming in soon after that.
I'm pretty happy with the JRSC. I have had my share of problems with it and it seems rare that it runs like I know it can but that's the fun of the hobby. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Well I guess I'm part of the younger crowd (no offense). I am 22 and I've onwed my integra since 98. When I got it I really didn't expect that I would do all that I have done. I was NA for while and then I got a good deal on a charger. Well about 6 months later I started having problems with it and sent it bacl to JR. They warrantied it out and sent my old one back completely rebuilt. Overall Ive been FI for close to a year now and I've beaten my car for about 50,000 mi. and it's still considerably strong. I dont' guess you can complain with that. It's just sad to see some of you "Old Timers" leaving us. It seems like a trend here lately. Oh well it was good while it lasted.

We should do a big get together sometime with the whole board. I know a few people have met at car shows or drag events but a large meeting would be fun to do. Maybe we should start another thread for this idea.

Well its nice to know I'm not the oldest here. That would be 2KBill at 49. I am 44 and bought my GS-R new in '99 and plan on keeping it for a while yet. I put the blower on in the summer of 2000. It is running perfect now and makes a ton of power.
Hey - a married guy with a house and 2 kids under 10 has to have a toy! This thing is just too much fun!!! A guy I work with has a '97 M3 and I beat him everytime we go for it. He is not amused.

I'm 26, I think, and the habit started back in 93', when I was the proud owner of a 85 CRX which I loved dearly, but actually *snapped* the rear suspension and sold the car cheap.
I had drilled rotors, a K&N filter, cool Ronal wheels, a minor suspension drop (which for those who don't know could be done by simply adjusting the torsion bars), advanced timing, a stereo that won an IASCA contest, and I, over the course of 5 months, literally stripped the car down bolt by bolt and rebuilt it. That was what I did instead of go to college that year. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I wish I could have afforded a Jackson turbo back then...
I have spent wayyy too much money, like everyone else here in the pursuit of speed, burning rubber, and happiness... but, it's been pretty fun the whole way.
I'm happy to see the mix here... seems like love of this hobby and intelligence prevail on this board!

Hello everyone. I'm Thomas Chim. 19 here. I drive the AUTOMATIC Civic EX. Got my car at 16, basically I just wanted a good daily driver, until I got bored and added a cone filter on my car for fun. The rest is history.... Got the jrsc september 2000 with 20k miles. Now I have 48k miles. The engine and tranny take the power 100% fine.
I've now upgraded the power to 8psi, running a kamikaze header, thermal exhaust, and shorty intake.
I go to school at University of Houston-Downtown and major in Computer Information Systems. I've decided to just play with this car for fun until I graduate regardless of its limits; Then I will get a factory hot rod and fix that up for fun.

JR, My first car was a '89 Integra and I too had the curse of the torsion bar. All you need to do is get under the car and the bottom of each torsion bar will be a nut. It was a while back so I can't remember if it's loosen or tighten, but turn the nut to the max and you can get up to a 1.5 inch drop [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img] For free!!
