GO!

Hello All,

So this is my celi, a 1995 GT. Before this, I was driving a 1983 Honda Accord which is a hand down car. I bought the car on May 7, 2007 with 158k miles on it. It had an overheating issue which I did not know of until I owned it. I tried searching the net and found this awesome site (6gc.net) which helped me learn more about cars.

I would say, it was love on test drive. I love the feel of the clutch on this car compared to any Honda which made me decide to purchase the car. Over the three years of owning it, It had been in an accident twice. On Feb 2009, I hit a deer which gave a little damage on the bumper and took out the high beam. Another incident (April 7, 2008) was when a police car collided with mine. Driver side door and fender was damaged. The City payed me and i decided to fix the car myself rather than paying a body shop to do it which will cost around $2k. I found a white door on a local junkyard and last April, I decided to pick up a white fender in Santa Maria, an 11 hr round trip. I also fixed the overheating issue last year. So far, 202k miles and still running!

It would be nice to squeeze more out of the 5sfe but California Emmissions are strict. Since I love to drive around the twisties for fun, I decide to focus more on handling. My plan is to get a set of Megans Street Coilovers, Suspension Techniques F&R Anti-sway bars, Performance Brakes and proper alignment. Also, it would be nice to complete the ST205 front end conversion and have the car repainted Super White II. I only have the hood right now.

Not much mods in the celi. Weapon R Dragon Intake, JDM Tail lights, 17" Enkei J10 rims with 215 45 Nexen n5000 tires and an Alpine deck. So thats about it folks. Thanks
