Welcome to the boards Nate! Sounds like you've got a pretty nice machine there. You should bring it by one of the meets and show it off.

We might be able to help out with a couple of your "wants". For tint check out Winners. They have a location in Rockville. Let them know you're from DCAWD and they'll give you a discount.

For racing classes check out the DCAWD Events thread. There's a couple of HPDE events coming up at Summit Point raceway you might be interested in.

Again welcome. Hope to see you at a meet sometime!

Welcome to the club Nate! That sounds like a VERY nice car! I came from a 99GS, which I do miss at times!

As Chuck mentioned, we have lots of events, everything from meets to track classes. Hope to see you at one sometime!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Thanks for the welcomes.

One question, the site moves a bit slow loading, is this a site isp problem? I mean my isp at work, works fine for everything else, besides this site - It's sluggish.

I'll hit up that shop.. Tint is pretty basic. It'll be on there at the end of the month atleast. :P =D Thanks!
