Hey well i have been lurking with out name here for awhile. Finally decide to join. My name is josh i live in Glassport, Pa. I have been driving hondas since i was 15 and nothing else i guess you can say i was born in to it;). My primary hobbie is Autocrossing, but have done nurmerous track days, drag raced both my cars, and even went to couple drift events in my Civic. I own 3 cars myself. My 90 honda civic which i have had since i was 16(21 now) nicknamed “Casper” one of the fastest FWD AX cars in the area. If you guys want to see pics it is the car on domintions chassis website under civic. It is has run a best of 14.8 at PRP with my cheater Hoosiers, but it kinda of sucked at Sport Coompact Night were some of you guys might of seen it run 15.8s lol. Car has 218,000 miles on it with no rust anywere most EF in the area cant make that claim. My Daily Driver is a 94 GSR with 178,000 mile on same motor since car was new BTW.Have had this for 3 years. It has run at PRP more than anything else i own and it best was 15.3 at 90mph(dont have slip anymore on it) this car is almost stock. Sadly it is starting to rust due to me using it as basically a winter beater. My last car well really a truck is F350 super cab with 6.8 V10. this is my eventual tow vehicle for the civic when is become not streetable anymore. ANyways just saying hi for you enjoyment here is recent run in the civic.
