Friday the car got aligned and i've made the first long trip from 2015, love how the car Handles on the new height with proper alignment and the new Federals
I put the wood back in.
And last Sunday I been to Eurosunday in Belgium (awesome meet)
Drove more than 600miles this weekend only, thats how much I like the car at the moment.
But:
Sometimes there are choices to be made, and I might have to make a hard one now.
I've been wanting a Lexus LS400 for longer than I wanted a Civic Shuttle, but since I couldn't afford it I settled for the Civic Shuttle I've been wanting too.
Nowadays, LS400's are affordable, and since I still want one I have to lose a car.
Now, Since I refuse to sell the Shuttle the Accord is being sold.
But regarding Fuel efficency and my Girlfriend needing a car to drive to her internship daily the LS400 will not be a good choice to daily.
So whats happening now;
The Shuttle is going back to stock height with stock wheels and is going to be used daily. (which isnt weird for a practical masterpiece like the Shuttle, but is weird since I havent been driving the car in bad weather conditions from when it has been resprayed).
My Accord is going to be sold and I'm going to pick up an LS400 as a weekend car in the future.
I'm still a little lost in the middle regarding the rare parts that are on the car, keep them on and drive a full option Shuttle as a daily or maybe twink it down a little and make it more of a base-model.
I just know I'm going to miss it lowered on the Mugens, but I think an LS400 will ease the pain.
Whatever you do I am glad that are keeping this sexy wagon, I love it
I just can't let it go allthough I have had 4 serious buyers for the car in complete shape. I've been thinking about it hard and long and discussed it with my Girlfriend and came up with this solution.
Allthough I'm not too happy about dailying it because of wind, snow and other types of (normal) exposure I don't want to put my second love through :nightmare:, it is a nice way to keep the car that I built in my possession and own 2 of the cars on my "Wanted list" instead of taking the whole loss (both financial and a little emotional).

If the shuttle goes, i want to say thank you for helping me build my shuttle. Your shuttle is beyond inspirational for me.
Sell it for as much as you can haha. it is awesome! i am glad you got it running and drove ti 600 miles. that is crazy. i want drive mine that far too! I am going to do some maintenance on my shuttle soon so it is capable of doing that.

Means a lot to me Mich!
I've set some personal things straight this year, I changed a lot.
The Shuttle has been up for sale,
It's been standing in the garage untouched for about 5 months now. I was selling it for an LS400, and parts, and even if people showed up with the full asking price I found myself slacking so much that I've decided to call deals off.
and allthough I want an LS400 too bad...
I think I've decided the Shuttle is staying my low full-option weekend driver, I still love this thing, I have built this thing.
It's all I've been doing and thinking about for a few years, it's my pride, maybe even a part of me.
(Going to need new wheels for 2016 tho, because I already sold the Mugens )
This is the best news I've heard in months, vladi! Mine hasn't been driven on the reg for 6 months+ but I will be returning focus on it soon enough. Too much time and efforts have gone into our wagons to not drive them, but I'm convinced their time will come. I also want to thank you for my own inspiration, parts and the friendship over the past year!!!

Thanks Paul, mine will be standing in the garage waiting for May to come also, maybe April but I don't like salted roads, and since winter hasn't really started yet I think we're going to have a late winter in February/March.
I also received a package last week which I still have to message you about,something with a NOS Shuttle logo that I've bought 6 months ago, which I had to stalk, threaten and do a lot of internet-hacks for.
The guy never shipped it out until I found his home and work address.;)
ahhhh sorry it was such a process... When you told me you had to find his address I thought you just had to pick it up or something?--- I had no idea he never shipped it and was being a shady bastard!

It's no problem, it's only the second time I had an experience like this and even tho I had to spend some time on it, it worked out in the end.
I had his Phonenumber but he never replied, also on the Honda forum I bought it he never replied. then I went full Sherlock Holmes on him and eventually found his work and home address. Sent him a text asking on which of those two addresses I could pick my logo or my money up.
Then miraculously he instantly replied and promised me to ship it out, so I told him I should have my stuff before christmas, not caring if it was the money or the logo. And 3 days later it finally arrived.
It's a real cool piece tho, still not sure if I even seen it before on one of our 3th G wagons here.
I have some pretty big choices and changes to make, one of them is a move from the countryside to a big city (about 100miles) where it will be impossible (both financially and comfortably) to maintain a second "weekend"car.
Therefore the Shuttle really has to go :disturbed:.
The optional parts are all for sale seperatly (Steering wheel, armrest, Golden H-logos)
If interested in anything, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM.
Ill post the bits for sale on Facebook later this week and ill make a F/S thread, so you guys have a head start on the optionals.

I have some surprises in my head, but I'm not sure if I should pull it off or not :rolleyes:, it will probably be all new to the H
