Alright, since you were all dying to know about my master plan.  I wrote about it in the Flywheel thread for those who didn't check it out.  Yes, I'm going to get another Nissan semi soon, and I may get a 240 instead of a truck this time.

ANYWAY, this is my ghetto-fabulous throw-away Hondacar. &nbsp;72 hp! &nbsp;Vroom, vrrroooom!! &nbsp;LOL <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Here's the first dent.

Here's the scrape. &nbsp;All these happened before I got it, mind you.

I can't see very well out of the black plastic behind the mirror, but the duct tape tatters look sweeeeeett!

The beautiful cracked dash!

Nice instrument panel. &nbsp;Oddly enough, must be automatic specific, 'cause the rpm's go past redline when I drive it around. &nbsp;Seriously, I'll be barely cruising with the rpms past 7. &nbsp;Fact it's buried into the bottom of the guage. &nbsp;I kinda like it. &nbsp;I'm going to scare a few mechanics. &nbsp;Heeheheh.

There's the clutch that shouldn't be there! &nbsp;Wheeeee! &nbsp;Autos suck! &nbsp;(Except 240's <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>)

My imposter leather. &nbsp;

Here's the connected neutral safety switch. &nbsp;Two green wires are reverse lights.

Last but not least, the little reliable 1.8 liter EK18 engine.


So whaddya think? &nbsp;Is it just screaming for a big wing?! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;Oh it looks like shit? &nbsp;Well at least it's mechanically sound, not an auto anymore, and I only have to drive it until I save enough money for a Nissan. &nbsp;Hope you all enjoyed it. &nbsp;I'll try and "kill" some fart pipe Hondas for zilvia.net. &nbsp;Only problem is it takes eight centuries to get to 60.

Ok, it isn't that bad. &nbsp;Only weighs 2045 lbs.

No, I'm sorry, I can't bear to part with it. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;

NEWS FLASH!! &nbsp;Fixed speedometer cable tonight!! &nbsp;Two strands of solid core 24 guage wire makes a damn fine surclip for the speedo cable housing.

Tested on the Highway: &nbsp;The poorly tuned 81 Honda got up to 85 MPH! &nbsp;Not bad for 72 hp. &nbsp;It's funny the speedo is accurate and the tach is off. &nbsp;Oh well.

<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> After my 240 was totaled i picked up an 86 honda civic si for 600 to drive around until i found my next 240. it looks like shit but it gets me around. and to make it even better i have a few holes in my exhust so it sounds pretty sweet, until i start to get exhust fumes in the car then i get light headed. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'> &nbsp;but i like messing around with other hondas. i can beat my friends 98 civic 4 door and he has body kit, intake, exhust, all the gages, racing seat, and nos. but he does not use it i don't think he instaled it right.

damn I almost want to go buy some piece of shit lame car. I'd really like to get one and drive it into a bunch of stuff at least. Maybe put some big steel bumper on the front and run into some shopping carts, or buildings or something &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I had a chance at a Yugo with like 70k miles for 300 and i missed it. &nbsp;It was gonna be my ridge racer. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Actually, I know of a place I can get wrecked Integra engines for about 600 or so. &nbsp;I'm thinking if the Honda lasts, I'm going to keep it around to play with it. &nbsp;As much as I love Nissan, I would love to stick a 140-240 hp other engine in there. &nbsp;Probably and Integra. &nbsp;I'd keep it looking like shit though, and have a fun toy to annoy the local lowered fart pipes. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Of course, I would also like to convert that car to RWD and use a Nissan V6 from the Pathfinder (240 hp version). &nbsp;I think I've mentioned that before.
