Funny thing about that car was the paint job was all vinyl. When it was roaming around, my friend and I saw the car and the owner (one of the brothers) in a parking lot. He had told us this and the car was already back to black at the time. They were planning to put it back to stock and throw the F22 back in.

A couple of years later, my cousin knew someone at DC and picked up an H22. Apparently DC was enough with Honda to pick up some early motors. Thus, my cousin has an H22 motor in his Accord with the serial number "00002". On top of that, it was probably the same motor in the DC Accord. Shit goes round and round.

I remember that issue. I used to flip through it a lot when I ordered my SSR's. Couldn't wait to get them on my car. h:




I still have the old SCC mags with that car in the ads!!!!! :thumbup:



as far as AEM and DC...both those companies have gone to shit with their products. they are so rich now...they dont care about making quality parts anymore. in recent days...i've seen a lot of AEM intakes that are defective or have bent piping brand new. Not from shipping...because the damage was then powdercoated over. DC sports ceramic headers have a shitty ceramic coat that rubs off and reveals a nasty green undercoat from the factory. some of their welds are just plain unacceptable too.


i remember when both these companies made top quality parts. then again...those were the days when 15 inch wheels were freaking expensive and 16 inch wheels were rare.... i miss those days h: h:
