            Haha we like to believe that I'm some long lost brother from a set of triplets, but you can tell I'm obviously not related. I've got superior genetics (Read: Taller and better looking )

                        My charger for my lap top died so I'm typing from my phone. When I get a new charger and im home to take some pics I'll give a little info on it. I will say as far as I know right now it is not up for sale if that is what you're getting at. However depending on what work it needs to pass inspection that may change.

                            They are great cars if you can keep them running smoothly. Like I said as soon as I get my lap top charger I'll give a rundown of the car and pics

                              Wanted to get some more photos of the Accord today when I got home from work but as soon as I got home the heavens unleashed some gnarly thunderstorms so they'll have to wait until tomorrow.

                                Here's a pic of the engine compartment. A little dirty. The red dirt appearance is the reflection of the sunset after the thunderstorms had finally past.

                                Near future plans for the car:

                                New spark plugs
                                New rotors and possibly new calipers (brakes are rubbing in the back due to slightly warped rotors, and I dont think the calipers are fully retracting after braking right now)
                                Cold Air Intake
                                New shocks and springs (current ones are the originals with 215,000 miles on them, although they aren't blown, they are pretty worn)

                                Down the road plans:

                                Catback exhaust
                                Ported Intake Manifold
                                New Rims and spacers (probably 18's since the wheel wells are huge in this car and there will still be quite a lot of fender gap with 17's when slightly lowered)
                                Underdrive Pulley Set
                                New Clutch and Flywheel
                                Custom Roll Hoop with Harness bar
                                Strip out some of the interior (rear seats)
                                HFP Body Kit (Front and Rear lower bumpers, Side Skirts, Rear Spoiler)

                                Eventually if I still have the car and money...
                                Get a junkyard motor and rebuild with new parts
                                Same with tranny
                                Coilovers
                                Down Pipe
                                Fresh paint job
                                Racing Seats

                                There aren't a whole lot of off the shelf parts for the Accords especially the I4 unfortunately so it seems like any real engine modifications for power are gonna be completely custom. I'd prefer to keep this car naturally aspirated as I'm not a fan of high horsepower (IE boosted) front wheel drive cars for track driving. We'll see where I go with this car. I'd really like to get it to a 10/10ths type build but money will certainly be a factor for getting stuff done on the car until I'm done college and have a job.

                                Hopefully I'll be going home for a day this weekend so I'll get some pics of the Teg and the 944 and I'll give a right up about each when I upload the pics.
