Say hello to the new-to-me whip, an ‘05 Accord LX with 160k and an auto. My neighbor was selling it for the attractive price of $1500 that I negotiated down to $1k straight after finding small flaws (window motor down and coolant reservoir connector broken/line loose, also lacks a catalytic converter but that’s honestly not a problem, it makes fun noises now) that I can fix myself in 2 minutes. Anyways, here it is. Also, me and a group of friends from my automotive class have group-bought and are fixing a 1995 Integra with a B20 and GS-R transmission. Cost us $950 due to it missing many parts, but we made sure the engine and tranny were good so it wasn’t for nothing. After about a month of sourcing parts and wrenching, we are ready to get it up and running with the big test being this Thursday, so fingers crossed. Here that is in all its immobilized glory:

So yeah. I know I haven’t been very active on here lately, but here’s what I’ve been up to this time around. How’s everyone else doing?

Both excellent choices, the Integra will make a fine project car, and if it’s anything like the 90’s Civics it will ruin other front wheel drive cars for you forever

Also how the hell does one change their screen name nowadays? It ain't where it used to be, that's for sure.

Integra looks great. I hope you’ll keep it at least close to stock

Yeah, we're going to keep the paint black (quick respray to fix that clear coat peel tho) and then maybe some bronze RPF1s, or OEM GS-R rims or something else. Not decided on rims yet. And then later on down the line we might do a JDM front end swap because the group majority agrees it looks better.

Nice find - is it permissible where you are to delete a cat? I always wonder about this area of the law.

Laws don’t exist here in Florida. But yeah, it’s not required to have a cat in Florida as there are no inspections or emissions regulations.

Congrats on the new car and good luck with the Intregra! I partially learned to drive a manual in my friend’s ‘06 Acc ord sedan similar to that one. Nice car!

It is illegal under the EPA to physically remove a cat on a car from 1996 or later with under 80kmiles. Being caught is then up to any state emission laws.
