I had such a high end system in such a low end car, cause at the time I was working the car, it wasn't such a low end car and there weren't many things that you can have done to it. I had your basic Intake (which I had to have made cause no one made it), header and exhaust. After all that it still wasn't what I was looking for so I had the head sent to JG for a port and polish, 3 angle valve job, cam and adjustable cam gear. While that was out getting done I had the intake manifold sent to extrude hone to get smoothed out and I had Arias pistons installed and the rods shot peened (no one made rods for the car at the time) in hopes of having the car turbocharged in the future. After this was all was said and done it was a nice improvement over stock but it still wasn't enough for me so I went looking for turbo like I knew I was going too. Well again, at the time no one made a turbo kit for my car and I couldn't find someone willing to do the work building me a custom one so I was left stuck. My friend who owned a performance shop at the time talked me into getting the nitrous system installed, and so I went with it. So at the time that was my best option.

I'm sorry that 7 years ago when I had this done, I couldn't have such a high end car like your Civic (if you can call a Civic a highend car). So why did I put all that into an 89 Accord? That's what I was driving and I was working with what I had. Could I have traded the car in for a 1995 Civic (that was what was out at the time I had this all done). Yes but, then I would have not been able to work on the car as much cause I wasn't making alot of money at the time so making payments on the car, plus insurance, plus rent, plus food, plus electric, plus phone, plus pocket money, it wouldn't have left me much money to play with. I bought the 89 Accord in 93 for $8,500 cash and since I bought it in cash I had money to play with.

As for you thinking i'm full of shit that's fine with me. I know what I have done and I know what I can do so, what you think means nothing to me. As for lying, again there is nothing for me to lie about, if I did it, I did it and if I didn't I would say so. What does lying about something like this accomplish for me? Nothing, so why lie about it? As for being a dipshit for installing these parts into an 89 Accord, if installing parts on a car to make it fast is being a dipshit, then you're right i'm a dipshit but guess what? You, your boys you brag about, everyone else here and on every other message board on the internet is a dipshit too. As for you and this thread, I am done with it. You have already taken more than enough of my time than you deserve.


i completely misjudged you.. i think.. lol

thats as close to "im sorry i was wrong" as your gonna get.. so take it for what its worth...

and im still curious.. NOT to prove you wrong.. but out of GENUINE curiousity.. what kind of kit was it???
