my best moment would be my drive home after i purchased my 240.. i payed $1200 and the exhaust was the only problem (besides paint). It had fallen off at the catalytic converter back.. That baby roared like a monster all the way home.. 30 minute drive.. i was def when i got home. but it was well worth it and setting of the tons of alarms that i passed

Another best moment
The day i drove my 240 again after 4 months of downtime. This is my 3rd motor in this ( 89 )car, my second dohc motor, this time i got a good motor with 72000 miles on it. I am boosting it very soon

Coming through a rather twisty mountain road on a wet day, I find myself behind a rather slow moving truck+trailer. 30 seconds or so before the truck pulls over, a civic comes flying up behind me, and rides my ***. As the truck ahead pulls over, the civic is riding my nuts like he is expecting me to pull over also, when he sees I'm not pulling over, he starts honking at me rather furiously. Previously, I had no intention of making a hasty run down this mountain, but his honking was annoying, so I hit the throttle, he follows suit. He stays right on me until I start hitting the turns, and he keeps falling further, and further behind, til I don't even see him anymore. 10 minutes or so later I find myself at the bottom of the mountain, at the end of all the turns at the final straightaway. What do I do? I pull over and wait for the civic,. It's OK if he passes me now, I've done what I needed to do. Myabe 2 minutes after I stop he finally makes an appearance, and I wave to him as he goes by. He gives me the friendly double tap honk as he goes by =D
That's probably my most memorable moment right there. That, or when I made someone flip their brand new prelude

you guys are pretty smart, so i wanted to ask a question. I wanna get a strut tower bar. But i dont wanna pay like 100 bucks for the dc sports carbon steel bar. I see some on eBay for like 20 bucks. I know that eBay strut bars arent name brand, but does the brand make much of a difference? Theyre all doing the same thing arent they?

yeah, pretty much the same~ I think the consensus among the drivers that do drive a lot is that the strut tower braces all pretty much do the same thing. So unless you're building like a time attack car or something really performance oriented, it's not worth ur money to splurge on the fancy stuff.
