Hey guys, this is my first post here.Well something really weird happened yesterday,and its weird cuz this kinda shit doesnt happen for me.Ok, so we drive all the way to ohio, 1 hr away from my house (pennsylvania) to see one of my dads close buddies.He happens to be a big contractor and money is like nothing to him.Well we were sitting talking in his garage with his collection of corvettes (1990 corvette still 0 miles on it never been driven interior is still wrapped in plastic).I bring up that for next year i'll have to start working on my senior project, and that i wanna rebuilt the engine of my accord and turbo it.He told me putting 3k in a honda is not worth it at all, and if i want a project car he will give a supra for free.My jaw dropped to the ground because i knew he was serious.So we drive about 5 miles to one of his warehouses or whatever you call, and right in bettwen two of his 30 plus foot long boats there was a car with a car cover on it.He told me to take the cover out.The car has a dented and rusted fender, a broken rear windshield and the trunk had some water leak in it.Regardless of the condition, the engine still runs like a dream.it is turbo wich that was the point were i almost nuted my pants lol.The only downside to the car is that it is automatic, which i am still wonderin, why the fuck would the make a car like this an automatic?

So yeah it was long but i am excited,for now i am gonna drive the accord like this till i get done with the supra.By the way, has anyone ever done a auto to manual conversion?How hard would it be?I plan on pullin the engine out anyways,cost?

later
