wheelmanLS1 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hey I guess a bunch of you don't know me I kind of stopped posting after my Pathfinder and I were rear-ended a couple years back now. Just checking in whos all left? 88path, Pezzy, RedPath88, UNCC, vengeful, skrilla... long time no see. Is MaritimeMan around these days? How has Mr Jim been? Let's see I have since graduated from high school, about to finish an Associates degree in Arts at the local community college then transfer to Appalachian State next fall. I'm pretty excited about that because I have gotten big into snowboarding as of last winter and the slopes aren't too far from the school. Also crammed into the last couple years was the excitement of getting my first apartment and financing my first widescreen and furniture (which is still being paid off lol), which after 8 months I got kicked out for throwing an underage party. Let's see, I'm still delivering chinese food and I kept the license plate EGGROL4U on my Civic for about a year. I have also gotten a job at a full service carwash and have made it up to a manager position which is pretty cool I don't have to throw out 1's at the strip club anymore I can throw out complimentary carwashes lol... jk, haven't made it to a strip club yet that would be a little awkward telling the lady friend. Anyways, it took awhile to find a car I liked after losing the Pathfinder. I went through a '94 Accord, a '92 Civic, a '01 Accord, and a '96 Civic hatch. The latter two weren't bad but I didn't like the 4 doors on the Accord or how slow the Civic was. That Civic looked pretty cool it was silver, lowered with SI wheels and JDM headlights and the roof rack looked pretty sweet on it. I just got tired of having to apologize to my passengers for having a loud and bumpy car so I got a new one! It's a 2003 Acura CL Type-S with a 6-speed. It took me so long to find this car they only made 1500 six-speeders and only 296 in this color. It's nice because this is the first car I've gotten excited about since the Pathfinder, the only difference is this time I have money to spend on it. Let me know what you guys think and tell me what's new around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelmanLS1 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Nice! When you gonna wheel it? I should go ahead and do that now before I lower it lol. The things got about 4 inches of clearance between the tire and wheelwell (more than my old Pathfinder) lol... Anything Honda with a V6 is a 4x4 when it comes to ride height. Wow.. long time no see Glad to hear you doing good, congrats on the accomplishments in school.. good luck with your future plans at the new one. All those you named are still here, MM just came back to the forums... and Jim, well Jim made a couple appearances a while back but has gone MIA again. Thanks! Work hard, party hard, but only after studying hard is my motto. Does Jim even own his two Pathfinders anymore? Hey why don't you veterens that I know post some current pictures of your Pathy so I can see the progress. Surprise me, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) Speak of the devil...you get my email the other night? still working on my project...the engine in and she runs like a champ...runs rich though I need an O2 and still have some other issues to work out but really havent had a lot of time to polish out all the kinks...between graduating work and moving to cali and now working 50+ hrs per week I dont get a lot of time to work on the pathy but its getting closer month by month...eventually it will be completely trail worthy again... biggest disappointment so far was the front glass...i trucked it all the way out here to cali and put in our building and went to get it out the other day so a guy could come out and replace it and I guess the heat cracked it doh...

But hey man good work on school and gotta stay outta trouble with them there policeman's... Aww I would but I think I just dumped a ton of money into buying a car that no 19-year-old in his right mind should have lol. As Casey mentioned it would make an excellent board truck... but I've got heated seats! I see you partially took my idea of turning the '87 into a Panda by switching on my black doors except you put just the gas flap on lol. Yeah the cops around here sometimes get a little too hyped up over busting a party... which reminds me your old neighbor (actually probably different people, but same house) threw down big a few weeks ago it's a shame you aren't still around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 yea I was completely making half doors until I had way too much @!*% to get rid of before moving to cali... I'll be in town dec 19th-21st and im trying to have the 95 dropped off in CLT so I can have some wheels to get around and see folks...I'll send you an email and see if we cant meet up or something...maybe go and hit the easy trails over by UNCC even though they built apmts on half of it... so what'd you get...i got this stupid camry...its a nice car but I really hate cars...almost bought me a chevelle the other night drunk on ebay...that would have been sweet and I would be moving back to the east coast b/c the gf would be kicking me out if I had pursued it anymore and won...

Let me know what you guys think and tell me what's new around here! Hey, nice to hear you're good! Too bad about the Pathy, but hope you had fun while it lasted. Nice choice on the CL, my *other* ride (wife's car) is an older 97 Vtech 4cyl. Not as powerful as yours, but its enough to run it out on the highway and still roll in the low 30's on road trips. Still, I love your car, sooo nice. Ours is black on black, and I'd trade you in 2 seconds for that sweet blue paint. Maybe even 1. Not to mention the extra ponies! LOL Keep in touch with us all!

LOL I was actually looking at that model CL back before I got the hatchback, but the manual transmission only came on the low-end CL. They look a little odd in the back too but once you get over that they are a great car. AUTOBELL! haha. I work there too, really good money! Yup. It's a great company to work for I'm transferring up to the Boone location when I move away for school. What shirt are you wearing? Red? Holy crap, he's alive. *faints* What's up 88? I'm real interested in seeing a picture of your rig. You always come up with the best mods let's see what it looks like now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 It looks dusty and derelict since it's been sitting in the garage with a busted tranny for the last year and a half or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Mountaineers! they're on the map now (for those of you who dont know thats App state (the ones that beat Michigan)) It looks dusty and derelict since it's been sitting in the garage with a busted tranny for the last year and a half or so. sad.gif Now I dont feel so bad for my swap taking the 2 years and counting Ryan you may be interested in these: (initial crank post swap) (1st test drive) Edited November 7, 2007 by unccpathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Good to see you again. Your cupholders you sold me are doing an excellent job! lol nice cl. i really like the colour of that one. Get another pathy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelmanLS1 Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Things have changed a bit... Yeah your trucks looking pretty good. You didn't have the snorkel did you? Wow, he's back! Nice to see you again! Nice looking car! Didn't even know that made 6 spd's of those Acura's! Only 1500 manuals, only offered in 2003... it was quite a treasure hunt finding one close and in tip-top shape. It wasn't even that close Carmax had to transport it up from one of their stores in SC. Good to see you again. Your cupholders you sold me are doing an excellent job! lol nice cl. i really like the colour of that one. Get another pathy!! Thank you. The color is the best thing about it I actually just got the windows tinted on Tuesday, and I changed out all the interior bulbs to LED yesterday. I'm buying a factory integration kit for my iPod right now and then I'm putting my roof rack on next week so I'm ready for opening weekend. It's progressing real quick. Springs will be on by the end of the month. I wish I had money back when I had the Pathfinder lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
