andrew2siik's // EG8 Build Thread

By andrew2siik
- Thu May 26, 2011 11:49 am #256889 ----------INTRODUCTION----------

Well, my name is Andrew (obviously). i'm 20 years old and a maintenance tech. for Nationwide Realty Investors. i like imports, beer, music, and kickin' it. i don't have a ton of money to throw at my cars, not do i want to dump $15k into this car. but it'll be a fun project until i can buy something more worthwhile.

i picked this up off a trade for a busted EH2 with a rebuilt title that i had. all-in-all, i think i got the better end of the deal. annndddd i'm not too huge into the looks of a hatch (call me crazy, i know).

but i'm all for criticism, so comments are very welcome! and i'm always looking to hang out with new Honda guys and girls and maybe learn a thing or two.. so feel free to make an attempt to get to know me and we'll go have a ricer meet somewhere! :thumb:
