For Goose :)

2001 Integra LS/ w. Vtec coversion: havent done anything else to it with the motor did some mild suspension work, with Tein springs, Megan Racing control arms Megan racing tie bar. some strut bars here and there..

i did get into an accident in Willow Springs with the integra on the rear passenger quarter panel messing up my aero. (which im trying to get fixed) i dont have time to work on the car at home with school . the car behind me braked to late as i entered the corner coming from the out side, to the inside.

also it has 20% thread left in the tires which i havent changed in 2years since i had it.

dont mind the Colorado plate. my brother (david) is the original owner of the car and he took it with him to Denver, for a year (he went to school there)

Car finally became mine after i Graduated from Millikan.

2006 Lancer Evolution MR: my older brother (johnny) this is his car but we made a deal that if i stayed in school and finish the car will go to me

my brothers Johnny and David in the back ground

My Current DD is the Camaro, and Occasionally the integra. well for one the car has mods, loud, its an Acura and ill pretty much get pulled over lot lol.

the Camaro has been in my Family for 22 years since my dad Purchased in 88. and during HS we did the body repairs, fixing the lil dents and replacing some parts that had a lil rust spot, by cuttinn em out and replacing them. after we done all that. too it to my dads friends paint shop, did the prep work there such as primering, and wet sanding,, then under my dads guidance he helped me paint the car to were it is right now .

Ultra Red/ and Original GFX color. dunno what its called. but i know its the OEM color.


as for Track experience, as goose mentioned in a previous post. i wont say i have ALOT but i have at least locked in 2-3hrs of track time with my brothers this year. my brothers do alot of track meets with there car clubs. (socal evo) and (team integra)

so a total hours of track time i had since last year and this id say close to 7hrs.

yea i did ill admit i made a bad choice on what i did earlier, but dont let that one bad descion make you think different of me.

i also found out my Steering Column on the camaro is kinda Loose. like it literally goes to the left when i turn left.. i think theres might be a bad joint? but i can still drive it.

i want the cars to be a DD/Trackable. so theres still some progress to be done

Re: For Goose :)

That’s all I was looking for buddy, a little honesty. This forum is a place for fellow 3rd gen enthusiasts to share information on repairs, experiences, modifications, and events/meets. It has been my personal experiences that there are a lot of extremely impressionable people here both young and old that take what they read as law. So for you to imply that you have all of this experience when you really don’t is what deeply concerns me. What would you do when a guy you’ve never met comes up to you at a meet and asks you about how to slip his car into a drift, how to trail brake, roll center, etc.? Would you lie to him and just regurgitate something that you’ve heard someone else say, give him your take on something that you’ve never done, all to save face and protect the fact that you really don’t have the experience you claim?

The Integra was your brothers and now it’s yours pending some fresh rubber and bodywork, Evo is your brothers and will be yours pending the completion of your education, the Camaro is your daily driver with an occasional romp I the Integra, and you don't have anywhere near the track time you imply that you have. Right on, there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of that and I think the Evo is the perfect incentive for you to complete your education.

Alex, I think you’re a really cool guy and I don’t want you to get burned. We’ve had a couple of guys in the past that stretched the truth more often than not. As a result they were banned, ignored, or made fun of. The only reason I put you on blast is because I don’t want any of these things to happen to you. You don’t have to be anything other than who you are to kick it. Your trials, tribulations, and triumphs need only be your own. Just keep it real

Re: For Goose :)

The roman calendar almost does.

Carrying those stone books was a real PITA before the wheel and cart were invented.

Re: For Goose :)

Closed for more import content than thirdgen content.

You're welcome to post your thirdgen info in the Time Attack thread or start a new thread discussing your planned mods to your thirdgen. But please keep the import discussions to another website.
