    hey guys. my name is Mike. I'm 26, and i'm in Arkansas at the moment. I grew up all over the u.s. though. I just had my first son. and me and he girlie are looking to buy our first home.
    I just got into imports a few years ago, when i had my 88 civic hatch. I bought it from an audio store, they had it as a sound comp car. I traded that car for my 95 civic hatch, and have been happy ever since.

    here's a few pics:

    not much, just cosmetics so far. researching what swap to go with. it's my daily driver. and i have a son, so i'm not going all out. just something nice and fun to drive. although i'd like it to have a little balls to it. 200-250hp. not a bad goal.

    thanks guys. warm welcome.

    i know this a jdm site, and i hope i dont disgrace you guys by having knock offs. but A.)i dont make alot of money. and B.)around here you cant walk outside without someone asking you for money. and my car's already been broke into once. so i like to keep it low key, but nice.

    also living in Arkansas means I have to buy everything online. so generally i pay more for even the knock off stuff. +shipping. I see guys on the coast that trade and buy and sell and have their car built in half the time. but there's no scene like that here. i wish there was. but at the same time, it's nice being one of the few.

    but like any site. i'm here to learn what i can. and have a good time doing so.
    so thanks again.

    I hear you man, I live in Texas and I also recently got into honda cars, I too don't bank alot so I've gotta settle for the fake shit from time to time, but it still looks good and that all I care about at this point, I have a 00 coupe and it's pretty slow even with an intake, but it looks good and it fun for me to drive and thats all that matters.

    nice ride and welcome. i too just had a baby boy, so congratulations in that area. it was truly the best thing that ever happened to me, as it will be for you. nice to meet you and knock off stuff is just as good as the real shit, just not as expensive. the only time the real stuff really matters is if you're featured in a magazine, so keep your head up and don't worry about it.
