Newbie from oregon

Wassup people....my name is dee and i have glad to be a member of this website. Plus i have been a member for sometime now just have been so be busy. But i frequent all the time due to there is lots of informative threads on here that help me to almost complete my wagon.

Ihave been workin on honda's forever it seems like building and tweeking them. it has always been a passion of mine. i was build my friends eg hatch for him and for appreciation he knew a friend who had a 91 2wd that had a tranny going bad. so he picked it up for me and gave to me and told me " i cant wait to see when its done". i have been building this car for a couple months now....gonna have to post some pics soon.

    Easiest way is to use imageshack or photobucket (or any photo hosting site for that matter) and use the embedding URLs to insert the picture into the body of the text. It will look like this:

    [ img ] your picture's location [ /img ]

    And when you submit the new post it will have the picture in your message.

    You can also attach the photo using the attach file box below the message editor. Just click choose file, upload it by clicking add the file, and it will attach to the post.


    What part of Oregon you in? I'm from Sandy, but I'm stationed in VA.

    If you read the rules than you would understand that the post have to be useful and not just "wagon looks good" or "car is coming along great" on every other build thread. Just saying.

    The whole 'useful post' is no lie bs! Anything direct in response as being helpful or very informative; as i've posted one for a ZC SOHC to ZC DOHC with great info/specs, is usually altered by an admin stating to the user to search and basically not ask for questions. Similar to your post to ekswapdude to search for things that have been covered here at HCW or elsewhere for that matter over at any other forum... Thats not a useful post! Irregardless, help or give an input, cause its no different than anything I previously stated in posts.

    Useful post is just a very lose term here as I see it and many so called posts not really useful at all, cause only thing I'm seeing as 'useful post' would be your own build thread with updates (which clearly is not very useful, similar to my so called 'great wagon' or 'wagon looking great posts') to some minor inputs from user's about specs/info/modify/diy tips IF by chance left untouched/altered. Very hard to really manage terms under 'useful post' wherever that really falls under...

    That's why I have a lot to say about it. Just doesn't sit right with the rules. Trust me, I'm cool with it, but when i've looked all over this site for info before I even joined, lots of crap is altered to even one I posted and seemed to cover it all which would of been a great source for those that can manage the damn search button... so useful posts doesn't seem to exist! Sorry. I understand HCW is a tight nit community and that I like, much better community in my point of view than Honda Tech, but some things go over looked or just plainly under looked which is odd to me. Who knows this post might be altered and yet hey it sheds light on the situation which is sorta useful... Irregardless, whatev, be cool to be have access and hope deesracer does as well sometime soon... Just saying!

    ^^You know there is a thread for post like that too, right?
    All of your concerns about "useful post" and the marketplace have also been covered.
    These post will be altered or deleted. Since this is off the topic of the thread itself. There is no need for you to tell me these things as I dont care and am not a mod or admin. I've done my fair share of useless post and useful post. You may think that some of your post are "useful" but in the eyes of the mods/admins they may not be. You can argue it but it's not going to make a difference. Stay on topic with the threads and stop complaining about no marketplace access cuz that will only get you banned(momentarily). We are so lucky to have a marketplace, it's one of the areas of this place that may be deleted.

    If you have a concern you need to take it up with a mod/admin, they are the ones that deal with that. Not a new guy that just asked a question that has been covered already. Crying about it will not get you access. If you still have more "concerns" please PM a mod/admin and don't spam up a guys build thread.

    Back on topic!
    regarding the interior dye, did you actually dye ior sprayed it?
    x2 I would also like to know.

    true true true...


    Thread locked for two reasons- mexi needs to act like an adult, and bitch to me directly if he has a problem...

    This is turning into a build thread. Please start a build thread in the members rides section.

    And for the record, I never ONCE received a PM from mexichris... so basically take everything he says with a grain of salt (at this point)
