Greetings from Indiana.......yes, Indiana.

Hello fellow VIPs,
 
My name is David Barker, I live in the Indianapolis area, and have been "into" tuning cars for quite a while......I'm 38 years old, and up until now was exclusivley a Honda guy. I've been scoping the vip scene for quite a while, about six years ago I bought a 2000 lexus gs300, and other than wheels the car remained pretty much stock. I just did not think the gs would be a good platform for what I wanted to do. I sold the lexus recently, and found an infiniti q45, 1997 vintage. Of course, as we all know......nothing we drive remains stock for very long. I recently finished an engine swap on my 91 crx, swapped in the b16a2 engine, refreshed interior, upgraded suspension, brakes, etc. Body work is all thats left on the honda, and I needed another car I could use as a daily, until the crx is done. I was so happy to find a good condition, BLACK Q 45 that only needs some minor things. The front bumper and bumper reinforcement are damaged, and need replaced. Good excuse for a body kit!! Anyway, I can't wait to get started on this new project, and I hope I can find a lot of good info and help on this site. I like to document everything I do, pics etc, so maybe I could contribute to some of the how-to articles. Ok...Ok, on with the pics.

Oh yea, I'll post a pic of the crx swap.....the acura in the background was sold last week, to pay for the Q45.

welcome...Hondas...we all grew up on them

welcome, and i have never owned a honda in my life!:slap:

[QUOTE=ALEXTHESUS*PECT;349264]welcome, and i have never owned a honda in my life!:slap:[/QUOTE]

they're fun cars to play with.

no doubt. i have wrenched a few for homies, but rwd wins for me!

dawg, nothing as refreshing as torque steer. keeps you on your toes. :smiley-rofl:

that being said, i've never owned a honda either, i've had 3 fwd toyotas lol. i do have a lot of respect for the honda game though.

I came from the Honda scene, wanted something bigger, more powerful, yet mellower, and found the VIP scene 6 years ago. I had a 98 Q45 black/tan, loved it, but it got wrecked this year and now I'm in an M45.  I think you'll really dig this scene, it's more mature and being just a lil bit older than you, I think I can relate.

Another one in for looking forward to seeing what you do w/ your Q.

niiiice pick up. let me know if you have any questions about anything. welcome aboard. :biggthumpup:

Welcome, just sold my most recent Crx...91 Si.

I'll miss it!  But we are on to bigger and better things now :)

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!   I'll probably always have a honda, the little crx is a ton of fun, its a go-cart with 170hp.  The Q is a blast too....but its more like going to a party in a tuxedo, instead of bermuda shorts.

Welcome!
One of my favourite VIP cars. You're fortunate to find one that fit the bill.

Welcome to VSC..As u are I am still a Honda fan and still own my show Accord..The Vip scene grabbed me right away and tho I chose to stay in the Honda relm,I am one of those unique individuals as well as well as others on here..My current VIP build is a Honda Odyssey...Good luck on ur build and keep us posted..Crx is tight!!!
