Here is my new baby. She's a 2006 Obsidian Black manual sedan. I got her completely stock about a 2 months ago with 24,000 mi on the clock. As such, I plan to keep this car and be on the site for a long *** time.

Right now I'm in college for mechanical engineering; and I plan to go into the automotive field once I graduate. Although I may go into a marine application because I love the coast (especially the Cali one) and can't see myself moving too far away from the ocean. Besides modifying and learning about cars I like to road and mountain bike, hang with family and friends, and read. I don't much time for a whole lot more at this point in my life.

The modding bug bit me on shortly after I got my last car, a 1999 Canadian Domestic Market Acura 1.6EL... also a sedan. I loved that car so much, but needed to switch to something with a little more power, reliability, and style.

So far I have no mods done to this car (however I posted a teaser pic of my first one below). My first major planned mods are some nice coilovers and wheels. I want to buy these at the same time, so I'll be eating ramen for a while Also, the car is at the detailers being stripped, clayed, and protected today. Finally, Beshoff Infiniti is running a 1500 mi oil consumption test on my engine as well.

Thanks for the awesome site. I've been lurking for a little while now.

Without any more ado, here is the car:





















And here is the first mod (thanks Riverside Infiniti):











Here is my Acura EL


















For the Civic-philes:

 

Lol i take it you were from Canada? ELs were never available here.

Nice G!

 

Thanks for the welcome.

Actually, I am from California. I bought the EL while living in Florida (lots of G35's there btw) from a Canadian emigrant. Thanks again.

 

damn I was sitting there for a sec wondering what was up with your bumper when I noticed its spray paint from paint ha

Sweet, welcome to the forum! And Nice on the Chin Spoiler

 

Welcome Cali - Monterey is a beautiful place.

Your pics remind me of when my OB was a virgin before I got my dirty hands on her


Gotta love the OB, but it's a pain in the **** to maintain.

 

^ ^ ^ ^Pain in the **** is right! Congrats! wish I was 6mt

Nice ride welcome

 

Congrats and welcome

Nice car. OB/Stone is nice....

 

^Biased much?

 

Very nice, congrats.

Nice pick on the OEM lip, you won't be able to get those anymore once Riverside Infiniti sells out (they may have already sold the last 2 they had).

Excellent shooting locations, I would love to photograph cars at some of those spots!

 

good stuff, : )

 

So did you trade in the Acura or sell it?
