I was wondering how old everyone is when you joined the darkside and how long you have been a member of this board?
I'm 36 (old fart)
Installed the JRSC on my GSR in November 1998 (2nd JRSC in Houston)
Joined the board in February 1999 (regardless what it says below)

LOL! Hey, Supra's aren't invincible for damn sure! You'd laugh at how many Supra owners can't drive or their car isn't running perfect. But the cocky people who gloat like that deserve to get smoked. I doubt I'll run a 10 with my car until I get my clutch squared away. I won't brag until I have the time slip [img]redface.gif[/img] ). I wanna tape it though to prove it being done without slicks =).
I've had my GSR for about 2 years, had the SC for nearly a year. I'm sure I'm the oldest here, at 49. I started messing w/the Integra shortly after I got it, kind of as a diversion from computers and networking, which had previously been both my job and hobby. Working on something different with my hands is just more relaxing, and satisfying (sometimes!). Another interesting thing is that my 17-yr. old son drives a LT1 Firebird, while the old guy is in the import. C'est la vie!
Well, lets see, im 25 now, but i was around 21 when i got the GSR and around 22 wheni put the JRSC on it.
Funny story how i got the JRSC. Its a long "RICEY" story but the just of it was "Well, they never sent me my shogun side skirts, damn, i want a SUPERCHARGER!" Some of you guys remember pix of how my car USED to look. I was young/nieve/stupid, forgive me....
Now ive had the JRSC on for like 4 years now and about 70,000 miles on the blower, with 80,000 on the car.
Thankfully, im back to "normal looking" integra....that is road course/autox only and GUTTED!

Well you know I have to say my piece [img]biggrin.gif[/img] I just turned 25 last week and this is my very first F/I and Honda car venture. I bought the car in April 99 I joined this board b4 I even had the car [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] Lundgren and myself installed the blower Dec 18th of 99 and it has def. been a journey. Lots of new friends and lots of new stuff too. My next big toy will be a Supra though, I just like the idea of being able to biuld on a stock platform to a reliable 600hp goal. It will certainly take more then 2 years to max out my modding options (because now my only real option to go conciderably faster is to biuld the motor) and I will be busy with it for a good long while. But first I must sell my teg, get my bike, pay some bills, and get done with school [img]mad.gif[/img]
Let's see... I'm 41 and have been tinkering with cars (well really anything for that matter) for over 25 years. I put the blower on my '94 Teg in early '99, though I haven't really racked up that many miles on it; the odometer currently reads ~53K miles.
Glad to see I'm not the only old geezer around here. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I'm 31. Bought my GSR new in 1996. When it was time to change the air filter (30K miles?) I made the mistake of driving it without the airbox top.
From the moment I heard that sound, I was hooked. First bolt ons. Then my brother put NO2 on his 240SX and beat me, so I got a supercharger and beat him. So he got a SR20DET (although he still can't beat me!).
Without the feedback loop of my brother, I doubt I'd be into FI.
Started lurking 6/99. Joined the board 11/99. SC'd my car in 1/00. 61K on the odometer, 15K on the blower.
I'm 22 and this is my 3rd Honda.
My first '96 GSR was NA. I ran a 14.7 with that car. Boy, I thought that car was waaay fast. Wrecked that in a rollover accident. [img]frown.gif[/img]
I salvaged the motor from that car and dropped it into a '96 Civic H/B. That car was FUN. I blew the motor by hydrolocking it one rainy day. I should've purchased the AEM water bypass. [img]redface.gif[/img]
Last year, I bought a used '95 GSR, with the strict intention of supercharging it. I got the supercharger for FREE! I traded in my blown GSR motor and the '96 Civic body for it! All the work, I did myself from then on. . .
I installed the supercharged in March '01, with about 55K on the odometer. I've got about 74K miles now. Been enjoying the dark side ever since!
Lessee, my turn I guess.....
I'm 26, bought my GSR new in 98, and put the JRSC on almost exactly two years ago now. This is my first FI machine, as well as my first honda. I've never regretted it, or ever looked back since I started. I do have to say that I envy those stock people driving around who can sell their cars without taking a MASSIVE loss though. The resale on a modded car is just dismal. My car is reaching the point where things are starting to need to be replaced and that pisses me off, but I guess that's to be expected when you drive 'em hard all the time. *beam*
Well, it's my turn. I'm 25 and I bought my 97 civic brand new in Nov of 96. I bought it with the intent of having a new reliable car with good mileage and a reputation for holding their value. I put in a nice stereo and then I decided to buy an intake.
It was all over from there. I bought the JRSC in 98 or 99. Unfortunately I had loads or problems with the JRSC. I got rid of it with the intent of buying a turbo and then the car was stolen. The police found it sitting on blocks and it was totaled out by the insurance company.
A month later I bought a turbocharged Eclipse. I still have it and so far I'm loving every minute of it. I'm not dumping much money into this car. I'm just trying to have fun with it. Hopefully, I'll upgrade the turbo to a 20G this year and have some real fun. 12 second club, here I come!
