Default Welcome new SCers

I can't believe the number of new posters we have in this forum lately. It seem there have been a dozen newbies just today. This is great! Come on in, the water's fine!

I'm guilty, I saw the "Turbo and High Tech Performance" magazine's "Project SCerious" and at some point I came across Clint's creations, and I was hooked. Now all I think about is buying my SC....

I don't eat.

I don't sleep.

I don't work on Hondas.

I NEED IT!@!@!@!!!@!@@!!!!

We're happy to have all interested parties around here and every now and then we see a Honda question (like did you ever own one? My answer was no, I've owned six). But if you want an SC this year you better get it soon. The demand and prices do go up in the spring.

Talking Newbie, Be Gentle LOL

I signed up last week sometime right before I bought my Pearl White 5-speed. I was lucky enough to find exactly what I wanted relatively quickly. It was 75 miles from my house but the trip was worth it.

I had a wishlist and plan set for the car way before I had it purchased which included Tein CS, 19" staggered forged wheels, 97+ front with Wald body kit, Daizen sways/bushings, and a new leather interior as I jumped on the GB. All this is only so I can drive the car. It's parked until all that is done and much more will come after in the form of stereo, electrics, motor work etc, etc...

This is my first post as the Search has proven very helpful and I haven't needed to ask any questions thus far. But since newbies were asked to pipe up, here I am.

My current car while I build up the SC: http://www.allwheelmotion.com/images/shell.jpg

I'm working closely with Rich and Manaray to get my project off smoothly. Much thanks to them for the advice they have given me so far. You guys are great.

Hey guys. My name's PJ. I've been lurking for a while now. Decided it was a good time to join. Im in the market for a 5spd Sc300. Been looking for a while now. I currently have a 1996 240SX which im trying to get rid of to get the SC. I shoulda listened to my dad and got an SC instead of the 240. The 240s are like the next civic . Oh well. That was then, this is now. Just saying whats up

I had a 240SX before I got my SC300. Admitedlly, the cars are not even in the same class, but I think the 240 is a very well balanced car especially with a 5 speed and the limited slip differential. They wreck really well, also.
