well... worst:


exterior first off, my home town is nothing but old people, so i have alot of bad drivers back there. i was driving to goto my house on the beach, and this lady just pulled out of a parking lot into me. like she didnt even see me. did 3500 in damage to my drivers side. no frame damage luckly, and no suspension damage. i needed a new door and new rear 1/4 panel. the fender, trunk, and rear bumper got resprayed cause i just wanted them to get painted so my car on that side was all the same(even though my 9 year old paint they said was perfect)

mechanical i miss shifted one time trying to chirp 4th gear, slammed it into 2nd and reved to about 12000 rpms. 9 valve retainer bolts backed off, and i only have 7 valves working in my engine (4 intake, 3 exaust) supprisingly 6 stayed ontop of the head, 2 made it all the way to my oil pan without scratching anything or breaking anything. the head had to come off the engine, and they foudn the last bolt somewhere, and it didnt do any internal damage. it put my car down for 27 days and i bitched daily to the shop cause they kept saying my dohc vtec engine that was moddified had to be worked on by a certian tech at honda. it wasnt modified besides external things(clutch and cam gears where the closest things to internal work), which wouldnt change how you worked on it. if honda didnt have people who could work on my car, they need to fire them. ahhh... im starting to vent now, this was almost a year ago (jan 2002) my car runs strong as hell now after this. i wish i knew the amount of work they were gonna do before i took it to them or i would have gotten cams and new valves at that time too.
