SX8

That's what my baby, Honda City 1.5 Exi non-Vtec, back in India is called. I was lucky enough to have been given this beautiful piece of machinery once my dad was done with it. You have to understand that traditionally the cars we drive in india are not based on power! But economy...Anyway, there she was standing in front of me! My first car...I still remember the first time i took it out! My dad was sleeping and me and my boys went for a drive to town...and I just let it drive me! It was beautiful...the powerful (indian standards) 100 Hp 1.5 liter engine...brakes smooth like butter...and the sound....man i was in love! That car made me wanna know about cars! And now i do...just because of the SX8...So a couple summers ago...my dad gave me the permission to mess around with the car, buy a turbo kit, change the rims, a new paint job, the works...and i did....it was great sitting in that garage...and just watching them work on MY CAR....and the first time we took it out...two mechanics, Sid and myself...with the turbo installed...that was a day to remember...no seats...but we packed in there...and here I am now...looking to start over...

Everybody needs a project...something close to their heart...this is mine...and will always be...
New Mods in 2005:

WISH ME LUCK
