the honda daze...

I used to be very heavy into the Honda scene. I'm not talking about body kits, Nos and big retarded wings. I was more into making things go fast.

This was an era of my life. An era I miss every day, and one that I feel so far away from now. Every now and then I'll go back and look at the hundreds of pictures I took during this time, and get all nostalgic like I am right now.

I built this car over the course of 3 years. It went through many phases. Before I had it, I barely turned a bolt under a hood.

I did everything on this car. I learned as I took it apart, and learned how to make it better. I spent 18 hours rerouting the entire wire harness inthe car so no wires were showing under the hood. There was nothing left untouched. I scrambled to buy parts, and spent over $25,000 over time. I sold it to a guy in Washington (the state) for about $10,000. He spent over $2,000 just shipping it there. I miss it.

These are some of the last pictures of the car. You can also see a ton more pictures HERE. The pictures in the gallery start with phase 2 of the build, through where I blew my first motor up, and through to the final build. I sold it in late 2006. Love it or hate it, a 350hp honda will rip your face off!!
