wow i like the new look of things, see what happens when you go to the dark side and try to come back, everything is different. well since my 4 door was totaled i ended up buying a 2000 i know i know...GSR. only because i couldn't find another LS sedan. so i settled for a coupe GSR. and i've had nothing but problems since. it started literally the day after i bought it with a burnt valve. i purchased the car for 7500$, with 76000 miles on the clock, good deal right or so i thought, if only i wasn't in so much of a hurry to get another car, i think things would have turned out better. but so is life and so is my luck. but noooo it just couldn't stop there could it. twist that knife a little deeper i say. god i miss my LS. but at least i'm driving again. and could someone tell me why the leather in integra's sucks so bad god i miss my tan cloth. it only took me 1200$ to get the car running and inspected, shoot me now please...so far i not only had to replace a valve and all the fun things that go with that( full upper gasket set) the after cat 02 sensor which was a rediculous 280$ from acura, 340$ from nappa, yea explain that one, now i need to replace my clutch master cylinder, soon my brake master cylinder, and both e-brake cables. while i had the head off i took the time to replace the water pump and timing belt. i had over 150k on my ls and it ran like a champ. i get a gsr with almost half the miles and 5 years younger and nothing but problems. moral of this story DON"T EVER EVER EVER go V-TEC!! i think i'll go hang myself now.

the only nice thing about the car is i don't have to spend money on after market parts it's all done. intake-headder-exhaust-coilovers and a few choice parts i was able to save from my 4dr. even had wheels. the car is murdered out with black 6 spoke wheels and a polished lip. but i hated the wheels black w/ ploished lips are sooo dumb. so i went a little crazy and traded for a set of white RO-JA LT-series. they are not the size i wanted but they look real good on the car. 17's i would rather have 16's but the set of enkei's i had didn't look right. and i think these ro-ja only weigh about 20lbs. a piece with tires. i want to say they are forged but i'm not sure. all i know is i gotta be real carefull of pot holes..
