1st car- 96 Ford Probe GT--Full 2.5" custom exhaust, Headers, JDM KLZE motor swap, Probeaddiction.com spark plug wires, NGK plugs, STS w/weighted shift knob, Vette ZR1 Oil Filter, CAI, Enkei CDR9 18" rims, Tokico blues with tein s-tech lowering springs. Stage 2 clutch, Fidanza 9lb flywheel. Probably forgetting stuff. Receptionist at old job backed into the side of it in the parking lot and totalled it out. Bought car back from insurance and bought my 2nd car
2nd Car - 93 mazda mx6. Literally swapped everything from probe over to it and put in the klze factory ecu that i had sitting on a shelf since the mx6 had an obdI wiring harness and matched up with it. Sold it about 5 months later.
3rd car- 99 Integra GSR with a B20z block and B18 head. (B20 Vtec) Built the head, but never got around to the block. Had cat. delete, cat back exhaust 2.5" and a CAI.
1st bike- 92 cbr600F2 - bought this shortly after the integra. I paid 800 bucks for it and drove the crap out of it for a few months until the oldness started becoming evident with stuff breaking. Sold it and bought another bike
2nd bike- 06CBR600RR- Still stock
4th Car-04 Evo 8 GSR- Only had it a few months, currently ordering toys for it. Just has an injen intake with upper and lower IC pipes so far. Hooking up the AEM tru-boost guage tonight, and ordering an AMS IC, and hopefully a B&B turboback exhaust if I can find one somewhere for cheaper than they are asking on their site...1200 bucks seems kinda steep.
Oh and the evo makes the 6th vehicle I've owned in the last year......I turn 22 saturday........People pretty much always told me I was an idiot for buying so many cars and putting so much money into them when I could have bought a really nice car with all the money I blew on them.....but F it, I had a blast in all of them. Miss the probe more than anything.

1st Car- 2001 White Honda Accord V6 Sedan. Fully Hooked up
2nd Car- 2004 Mazda Rx-8 Winning Blue with appearance package
3rd Car- 1989 EF Honda Civic Hatchback 4speed big POS, at the time I saw it as a great project car. SOLD the following month.
4th Car- 1992 Black Honda Prelude H23 motor. bought it at 285k miles and sold it at 300 miles. Clutch went bad. Nothing wrong with the motor except clutch needs to be replaced. Didnt want to spend for the repair so sold it for 1100. Totally regret selling the car. Clean car in and out. No rips nothing. Owner preserved it but it was his commuter car.
5th Car- 1995 Green Nissan 240sx, another projected project car. Built from ground up. Painted whole car to White, fender flaired, Staggered wheel aggressive setup, full suspension, etc. Got hit while driving on the way to work and the insurance company claimed the car as totaled. SOLD eventually
6th Car- 2006 Ap2 Rio Yellow Honda S2000. Great great car, loved the convertible, VTECC sound
, AP2 tranny is by far the best, decided to trade in for the EVO X I miss the extra room and also wanted to try the TURBO POWER.
7th Car- 1995 White Honda Civic EG Hatchback, Used for about a month and sold to my friend who needed a car. Sold his EVO 9. Great car fully built motor, clean interior, full suspension, etc.
8th Car- 2010 WW Evo X, I am really glad and hasnt looked back since I got this car. Of course with my previous baby the S2k I did some pros and cons but overall I am glad that I got this car. Loved it ever since I first saw it. I said I will get it someday.

Well I haven't gotten an Evo yet but its looking like I will when the right one comes up. I've owned
1.) 2001 Focus (suspension went out around a turn and ended up eating a 10 in high curb... totaled)
2.) 1998 Explorer (awesome car never should have sold it)
3.) 1994 Mustang GT pulled 11's did all my own work, this is my mechanical learning beginner class. (sold)
4.) 1998 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. Its a DSM it had a 50 trim and it was such a handful. This was my mechanical learning advanced class.
5.) 2004 Mustang GT, great car in great shape, stock, hates the rain and snow.... and dirt on the road... and everything. I hate loosing grip when 2-3 shifting getting on the highway, scares the **** out of me.
So thats why i'm hoping to find a good evo.
