define Euro spec. what exactly are the difference between euro spec and Us spec

 

I've been busy George, tons of homework, lots of Philly Deli work, and gotta sleep and spend some time with Veronica, so the forum goes on the back burner, unfortunately. Going up to Kitty Hawk next week for Spring break, hopefully hang out with Tony one night, do some surfing and golfing. I'm going to miss my POS car though. It's runnin so crappy, it's still so fun to drive. I'm getting AWESOME at launching, and saving the clutch. Can't wait to have my HorsePower back. Got my butt whooped by an all motor EG civic hb this evening (back behind your house Dan) This dude kept revvin at me at school today, so I revved back at him, did a burnout, and left. I was comin home this evening from goofing off, and turned into Dan's neighborhood to hit the 'drag strip' once and the dude from school (crappy teal civic hatch) and some white civic hb turn in behind me. I recognized the teal one(slow pos from school) and look at the white one, and it's even more of a piece. Dude in the white one asks if I want to run. I wasnt sure, there were still people at work in all the buildings back there. He said his engine was stock (had some loud muffler) and it looked ragged, so I agree. Line up, he says on 3, counts, I launch (perfect launch) pulled a length and a half outta the gate. He passes me in mid second, and just keeps going, I shut down at 80 in mid- third, he was gone. I wanted to cry, first honda thats ever beat me. At least he was cool about it, and seemed to know how to build cars. It was a J-spec d16 sohc, full custom welded exhaust and intake, high rise cam....and NO interior, just dash, two seats, and steering wheel and pedals. Car prlly weighed 1600 lbs, and like 140 hp. Fastest honda I've ever seen. Turns out he's heard stories about me and wanted to run me, he told me to fix the problems with teh car and come back and blow his doors off. Turns out he was the dude in the teal civic's older brother, nice dude. I went back to there house (they live in Northchase too) and he's building an old Nova with a built 350 in it. Fast Honda, I'm still impressed. I definetly want my rebuild.

 

sounds like ya had fun no matter what happened in teh end man.

 

Haha, my window is open and I can hear the ricers out back racing right now!!

 

holy mohter of jeebus that is hilarious

 

GEEZUS last time I checked this thread it was back in Oct. I can't believe this thing is still going. LOL, well if some of you want to venture to Western NC we are having a big meetup on March 15th. I have a thread posted up in this section. Hope some of you can make it out.

 

I'll be there Brandon

 

Cool Krsitin, we should have alot of fun. See ya then

 

Not very many differences, mostly cosmetic. This is a S5, so on the left rear taillight assembly, instead of a reverse light, there is a red-lensed fog light. The bumper covers are the same, I think, but the reinforcements are not as heavy. On the interior, the seatbelts are not the mouse-type, but regular. There are seats in the rear (with shoulder belts), instead of storage bins (TII, remember), which is pretty much standard for non-US market 7's. And, if course, the speedo reads exclusively in kph.

the prodigal daughter returns

 

so pretty much jsut cosmetic and safety changes? no differences in suspension, performance, etc?

 

someone jealous?





j/k

 

BTW ren, are yous tuck over there cuz of the iraq situation or what?

 

Yeah, they won't let anyone go on leave if we go to war, and with that uncertainty, and the fact that Hanna couldn't get a refundable ticket, I decided it would be best to just wait until I check out of here in June.

Well guys as of right now I am still undecided as to selling the car or not. I really don't want to get rid of it. But I don't have the time and $$$ to work on it right now. If I do sell it I will either buy a nice set of rims and tires for my truck, or buy a older CRX.

Anyway, so how has everyone been doing? I am still working my 2 jobs, and I'm back to school, trying to get my EMS degree.

Chris, don't forget to call me when you get in, I'll be working on Saturday and Sunday,Tuesday, and Friday next week.

Tony

 

well good luck on whatever you do man

 

am i the only one that finds that fawking hilarious?

 

Well I might as well use the $$$ for something.

 

Hey guys, I want to see some of you post in the regional thread over on nopistons. Lets spread this thread around a little.

http://www.nopistons.com/forums/inde...&f=29&t=14103&

 

yeah i know man, but it is still funny that your two choices are rims or a honda for the same amount of money

 

come on man! why? why can;t you guys come and post here? i mean comeon, ours is bigger :P j/k


but seriously, is there any specific reason?

 

BTW i feel your pain man. i go to school mon thru thurs 9 to 3.30. work on job from 4 to 10 mon thru saturday. and that extra 30 mins is jsut long enough to drive from skool to work and smoke a cigarette. and on fridays and saturdays during the day i work a second job from 8 to 3.30.

so i know how it goes man.

 

Nevermind

 

well dang, i was just aksing if there was a reason. it was jstu a simple question. i realize that you like nopistons better....but ya got to be a lil nostalgic about the first forum ya ever been on.

 

HAHA!!!!! We own this thread!!!!!!! I might go over there when I have the time to do it. I am still undecided as to what I am doing with the RX-7. Anyway Chris is on town here this week, so we are going to do something while he is here.

Later guys
