Sure...if my ex hasn't burned my photo albums. I rebuilt the car from a wreck, drove it for 2 years and sold it to a fellow in Peoria Ilback in...1988? My memory is a bit hazy on dates. Car was white, Black vinyl top, 383 4 spd (original motor, tranny, and rear end) Fun to drive... hard to launch with G-60/14 widetrackstreet tires.
Sorry about the post hijack Indy

lol indy should have never posted his ****ed up times from the other day because of comments like yours. just wait until he gets his truck optimal, and the track was utterly deplorable. the thing about indy is hes not afraid to race, even when hes not even done setting it up properly. most people are scared to race because they will run slower times then they want, so they dump tons of money into the car trying to make it fast before anyone sees it run just to make sure the times are acceptable. he definetly had ***** to race the other day. 15 bucks plus gas to go to the track forTWO ****RUNS. come on. that sir, is dedication.
PS: your accord is slow for a car and you spent more money than he did on his truck that is essentially faster than ur car.

Your right HTM, 14.4 is not a fast et but its pretty quick for a genII.
Like to see the timeslips.
BTW, how could you add 500lbs? Knowing what most stock parts weigh that is very difficult to do.

Manual drums were fine when everyone had manual drums. Now in days that'd be the first thing I'd upgrade. Before some dumb bitch in her civic locks up her 4 wheel discbrakes in front of you because she thinks she just went past her turn while she was on her cell phone.

I'm not afraid to go to the track either. I went in my truck a few years back and paid whatever it cost for one run. I just wanted to have fun with some buddies and see what it ran 1 time. I didnt' expect it to be fast nor did I really care or care about really doing it again. I might would someday but it's not something I really care about all that much. I don't care to drive an hour and a half and pay to run a truck that isn't built to race anyway.
All in all you act like a 16 year old that has nothing better to do than say whos car is faster and think a truck that runs 14's is gods gift to cars. 14's are slow thats what I'm trying to say here so don't act like it's so fast or such a great truck. You really talk like a 16 year old. Am I right about how old you are here?

Yeah but I didn't buy the Accord to be fast. Thats what I'm saying it's not that fast and still runs around those times. I bought it to go on trips with and carry myself as well and friends and family around comfortably. It may have cost more but its a 06 not a 96. We got it new in 06 so I wouldn't expect that to cost the same as a 10 year old pickup truck. I could have a faster car with intake and exhaust vs his truck thats got quite a bit of stuff on it.

ur missing the point.most peopleknows what is fast and what isnt, but how many trucks do you know run 13s? we get it, uve been in 4 second dragsters and everything slower is beneath you but you have to give credit where its due and this is one of those times. u act like the truck has got all this work done to it too. it has stock heads and stock intake. everything is stock except for the cam and headers. if you think thats a lot of work you are misinformed or worse. if you don't know anything about someone, why would you say something that you know you couldnt possibly know? gods gift to cars lol.just go to sleep dude."all in all" you paid more for a car that is slower than his. fact.
PS: im 13 and ive never turned a wrench in my life but i did stay at a holiday inn express last night.
