Honda Owner in the House
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hey guys... I'm currently a Honda owner (flame suit is on, so go ahead if you wish...), but I will probably be picking up an LSx powered vehicle within the next year or so after I graduate college. I've been leaning toward a Corvette lately and I think that may be my eventual route once the funds become available. I'll probably be lurking and doing a lot of reading and learning throughout the next year, but for now I just figured I'd introduce myself.
My name is Michael and I'm from Lexington, KY. I know a few of the members on here, but I usually stick to the import boards, especially those that are local.
The current car is a 98 Civic HX. Blah blah blah... slow... handles well... blah blah blah. Anyway, I look forward to an extended stay here and hope to gain a lot of knowledge in the near future.

Sweet man, I've got a Honda too.
90 Accord LX
Mods: New engine when a head gasket blew, new radiator when the old one died, new oem exhaust when the old one fell off, new harmonic balancer when the old one died, new power steering pump when the old one seized up, and the list goes on and on, too many mods to list.

Eh, mine's slow. Stock engine... 15.63... it's just a stupid little single cam.
Brad, allow me to address your worries...
Body kit - Negative, I have a lip kit. Nothing gaudy (sp?).
Stickers - Go under the hood
Fart Can - Negative... magnaflow oval muffler on a 2.25" mandrel exhaust with a stock-looking tip =)
Neon Lights - I'd rather slit my wrists
I don't think my car is fast. It's faster than some, slower than most. It's mainly an autocross car now. I've got some decent money in the suspension.

I'm a honda owner as well I track race my '91 civic.
Sounds like some good toys i'd be happy to talk hondas as well as LS1s.
I'd help you rehaul your suspension and save a bunch if you want alot of that stuff is overkill and or bling, not to be rude just helping

Back on topic.
Welcome to the board. Theres some much usefull information on this board it's hard to believe it's free. So take advantage, save up some money, buy a vette, and keep the Honda as a daily driver.
