New to site,Ryan97 gsr ek

My name is Ryan and this is my 1997 coupe(was my first car). It all started with me asking Bryan Johnson to "vtec" my stock single cam at age 16. After his harsh answer i decided to hit the books and look up what was "cool" to do with a honda so not long after i called him asking to show me how to do a b series swap(LS). Made many new friends and got into the addicting habit of building cars.

Hmm... Sounds like you should bring your holesaw over and do some cutouts in the bumper of my Buick. Maybe then I can get into the 14s...


To the OP, nice car..... For a rice rocket Honduh
