Hey yall, Derek here. Well i grew up with a love of cars, it all started with my grandfather, he was a state trooper and when i could walk or maybe earlier he would take me in his garage and show me his squad cars. I also remember a cadillac fleetwood and he always had a gmc truck. Well fast foward 20 plus years and here i am. I eat sleep and breathe cars, trucks motorcycles tools and evolving technology, I love any and all things motorized. I am constantly in thirst of information and ideas to build a better wheel. I currently own a 97 accord, i think that will make 30 or so cars ive owned thus far. ( Iam 32 years young). The accord i aquired in stange circumstance. I was on the road in Myrtle Beach, (my old place of residence) and was driving my 95 accord. I noticed another accord to my left and could tell when it accelerated from the traffic light it had a manual trans, something my accord was without. I got the driver attention and long story short we traded cars... i was psyched. I had been driving auto for a while and missed the control of a strait drive. The car needed alot of tlc. Long and the short i now have a very nice driving car iam proud to say i built.
Hello. A short story.

Two week after i got it there was a cold snap and i fired the car up in 30 degree weather and had no heat... the antifreeze was forgotten. Strait water in the system. The car was had starting in the days that followed. had to pull the head and machine .013 to get it flat. ran great after that. It has a modified air filter...i refuse to call it an intake. and a flowmaster with glasspack. and hid lights and welded motor front motor mount, feels race car ish. fun to drive, loud but not too loud, 30 mpg !Comment
