Re: Three year progress report

Good looking car...great buy for someone looking for a ready-to-go setup rather than a fixxer. I have no idea what it's worth, but we never get out what we put into them. :/

127,988 clocked, perfect idle and no check engine lights or SRS lights on (Even with header, Short Ram intake and cat back exhaust). Just started it after about two weeks sitting on my driveway. I don't know why people hate on Civics so much, they are great cars!

Don't worry about people as it will be impossible to please every one it is your car and you have the complete right to do what you like to do on it. Cars turns into hobbies when you kept them for a long time. Like I drive a 2001 civic 4DR and it is my daily driver and also my hobby I always search for good genuine accessories and parts if I see something that will look and perform well I buy it and install it. And when someone ask me how much am I gonna get if I sell it my answer to them is IT IS NOT FOR SALE period. Because when you put that much effort time and money into one car that you love why would you sell it unless it is a super emergency or God forbid you get into an accident. Great work and enjoy your baby...

Thank you so much for your comment and you are absolutely right! I had to let my beloved EM2 go for $4,000 to one of my employees. But I am happy because he is a car enthusiast and is taking good care of it!
