    Another newbie...

    Hey everyone,
    My name is Jeff C. Local to the Manchester/ Concord NH area

    Skip to paragraph above first pic if you do not like to read irrelevancy.



    Im currently a Junior in high school and 17 years old. I don't have an interest in any typical high school aged kid things. I keep to myself, try my best to do it right and learn better from people who have more experience than myself so I can apply it to what I do i.e cars

    Im trying the best I can to get what I want, but working minimum wage at mcdonalds 2-4 hrs a week wasnt doing anything but costing me so I quit a few months ago, and I dont have the luxury of parents buying me what I want like most kids I know do... but none the less, I still have pride in what I am able to do with what I have and being able to have nicer cars then the kid whos parents bought them one...

    I've been interested in cars for awhile, but never really did anything about it until about a year ago. I've had over 30 cars easily the past 12-18 months, mostly partouts or an easy couple hundred on a flip for my time. Seeing as im unemployed and have been for months progress would be slow so I pieced together parts I liked throughout each car I owned and plan on putting them together into one car.



    Currently, I have many cars. One is a 1994 Integra db8 4dr. I have always been a 4dr guy, and the integras were one of my favorite, easy to work on cars. I got her last february, basically bone stock minus a cai.





    Shortly after I came across the perfect parts car and motivation to do something different...



    ^^
    A 2001 Integra gsr 4dr, no title so was pointless to me. And im an obd1 guy so id rather the pre 1996 anyways haha.
    I took the jdm integra type r front, doors, rear bumper and tailights. Why these authentic parts were on this car hacked together, I do not know. After stripping it bare and selling off extra parts I made all my money back.


    So then I started stripping it and this is where its basically at right now. Fully stripped except windshield is out as well as firewall, waiting for my rhd conversion parts to come in then it will start moving nicely again...



    I have nearly everything to do a decent Integra Type R replica. Front clip, rhd, rear bumpers, doors. Only a few things im missing such as the 5lug suspension, front lip and spoiler.
    Engine I have for it is a Japanese spec h22a with qsd h2b, just waiting to find lsd transmission.

    Contemplated putting in build thread but really nothing special to post about, in my opinion haha. Maybe I will one day



    Next is my pride and joy,
    1993 Mr2 Turbo
    Jap spec 3sgte w 50k miles
    Jap Kouki Tails *not installed in pic
    Hks bov and filter







    Nothing crazy, it was my summer daily driver and fun as hell to drive. Planning to do some mild modification to get her in the mid 300 whp range for next year. But nothing in hand yet, just trying to put the pieces together and looking for the deals haha


    I also have a pretty nice 1988 300zx that i've completly fell in love with over the last couple of weeks. 200k miles and still runs strong, I love all the power options she has, just a very decent collector car that I like to drive. All original and in very good condition. Its my daily driver right now, just hoping we dont get too much snow until I have a more suitable car for winter, doesn't like snow





    Oh yeah, the current project that im most actively working on at the moment. 1991 Mr2 n/a
    This car I bought for a very nice price and had alot of good parts on it
    I quickly took the Japanese mr2 taillights and replaced them with the old us spec off my white turbo lol. Also had the "jdm" mr2 door sills and trd short shifter.

    I am just in the process of replacing a rotted clutch line and starter then it should be running again. Some minor body work and it will be on its way








    Like I said, i've had way too many cars. Heres some pics of a few of the ones I had alot of fun with lol













    Unfortunately that is all the pics I can post haha. Im always going through new cars. And always learning, trying to get experience with all different makes even though I was raised in a honda only environment. Going into other manufacturers was definitely a great choice.


    I hope to meet some nice people on this forum,
    Thanks,
    Jeff C

        Thank you both. I should be picking up another car today. Need a few parts, id rather buy a whole car with good parts I need (starter, alternator and clutch slave) for the price of what new ones would cost alone lol

                        I believe the guys name was Ray, im not positive though. I got the mr2 in Bradford but he put his address as somewhere in Manchester. Its funny, the car has been off the road since 2008 and I think I remember seeing a red car with racing stripes years ago, and of course now I own it lol
