Hi everybody!

I am Jordane, 23 years old, i'm from France, I live in Magny-Cours, at 2 steps from the famous race track.

Probably as most of you, i love Honda cars!

About me :

- 19 years old, fed up of my Peugeot 206 and a with certain interest in Japanese cars, I fall in love with a 92' Honda Prelude 2.0i. I bought it with 160k kms, in a very nice condition.
I kept it stock or almost (it's my daily car), just a full stainless steel exhaust no-name (noisy!) with decat, resonator removal, front upper strut bar, white front indicators, oil catch tank, egr block off plate and other little details.

The Prelude has now about 220k kms, and it's still very healthy! :)


- In 2011, I bought another Honda to support the Prelude. It was a 87' Honda Legend V6 2.5i, in a nice condition. I had to change some things so that it can pass its technical inspection but nothing serious.

Unfortunately, I had an accident with it. An old men who didn't even know why he braked in a straight road, there was no apparent reasons, but I was too close to him, and we all know that old Honda's brakes are not very efficient..

Here's the result :

Not enough time nor money to restore it, so I had to sell it :cry:


- More than 1 year later, I was missing a lot that wonderful V6, and I decided to buy another Legend, but this time a KA3 2.7i "Coupe". After a lot of time spent looking on the web the perfect one I wanted, I finally found it two months ago :D

A beautiful 88' Honda Legend V6 2.7i, very nice condition, low mileage (140k kms), cruise control, AUTO air conditionner, 4 electric windows, electric mirrors, electrically adjustable driver seat, leather ...

I love this car! The engine is incredible, you can cruise at 50 kmph in 5th gear or either kick TDI asses by downshifting and opening throttle ..

Jordane

Not a bad idea, but I would probably have to enlarge the engine compartment, the C27 is big :lol:
