Hey,
I'd first like to say sorry bringing up such an old thread, but I wanted to thank the OP for posting this video on the forum. I created this video in 2005 I believe it was and it's just what I wanted it to be, a tribute to the car that gave you an image of it's whole life.
Let me take the time to give you a brief history of the car. The car was bought around the year 2000 brand new from the Honda Dealership, an automatic may I add . My brother didn't want to do anything at the time with it, I don't even think he was interested much in cars like that at the time. Later on he started doing minor things, my guess is from reading the usual car magazines, Import Tuner, Sport Compact Car, etc. The first couple of things done was a Greddy exhaust, Intake system, which he had done at a local car shop called Vertex Motorsports. He later then got a front bumper put on too, not sure of the exact name. A couple months later parts were being taken off his car, the bumper, the intake. When we would go back to Vertex to get the parts for his car, we noticed things were always in stock, so we learned to stop shopping there real fast.
After a couple months he decided he wanted to go faster and started shopping at a place locally called Autoauthority where he had a greddy turbo kit installed, nothing big, only took about a second off his time if I believe, but being that the car was automatic it didn't help out that well.
The car then looked like this:

I don't know how much longer went by, but around 2002 he decided he had enough and wanted to get it going. Called up inlinePRO, told them what he wanted, parts etc, and wanted them to do the work on. They of course complied and did so. Thats when the car was changed from automatic and had the stuff done below, I may not have all the parts, I may have some things spelled incorrectly which I am sorry about:

After getting things done tunning etc, the car was set. At the time he and a couple other Honda owners basically ran the area, nobody wanted anything to do with them, it sometimes came down to the point where when they knew he was going out to the races, others wouldn't even come out because they knew what the outcome would be. When the car was done I was 15 and was basically scared to be in the thing. I remember one time distinctively when he punched it. He turned on to a straight road, and just blazzed the tires up ripping through the gears, I remember us passing a Taxi doing a great speed, all I remember was holding on to the roll cage. By the time we got about 1/4 mile down the road and made a U turn, he was finally coming about half way up the road at us.
The car won a lot of street races, most I didn't go to because of my age and my brother not wanting me out there in case any kind of trouble were to happen. I believe he said he lost 2 races if I remember correctly.
January 2004 the car was stolen and completely stripped as you saw in the video. We still have no idea who did it and it's been left at that for the most part, there have been some rumors that there is a video of it online being stripped, but nothing has shown up either so were not to sure. As my brother told me, "It's not will your my car be stolen, it's when will my car be stolen."
He know drives a hatchback which he is in the process of selling, but heres a look anyways:
