Ryan Freeland - ryan freeland - 07-27-2010

What's up MM!? My name is Ryan Freeland, I'm a sophomore economics/finance double major and I'm living in Shenandoah next year.. some of you know me because Jake let me hang out with you all last year haha. But yeah, I bought a car over the summer and can't wait to get my MM bumper sticker. :wink:

So here she is..

2000 Honda Prelude
4-cylinder 2.2L VTEC
5-speed manual
124,000 miles
Mostly stock
License: VROOOMM

I've spent most of the summer doing small mods and routine maintenance.. Cleaned the EGR valve, fixed an oil leak on the VTEC solenoid, new set of O2 sensors, new gauge LEDs, and I've been slowly getting all the grease and grime off the engine bay. I also replaced all the stock speakers (it came with an aftermarket head unit) and I'm about to throw a 4-channel amp in to give them more headroom/power... As for performance mods, those will have to wait due to lack of cash money.. Long term I want to drop it a few inches and throw some new wheels on. She's due for a brake job before school, so that's the next priority.

I've never autocrossed before, but it looks like a blast so I'm looking forward to it. But without further ado...

For a finance major your damn good at taking pictures, im about as retarded as they come. Would be great to see you out at some autocrosses, that H22A wont need any more power on an autox course, I would suggest investing in the wheels/tires and a suspension.

Nice! Like the dash, that's pretty cool.

Re: Ryan Freeland - TorinoCobra070 - 07-27-2010

Very clean car and nice license plate :thumbup: Autocrossing is a very good idea. Always.

I am soo jealous right now. I looked at getting one before I got my crx but the insurance was too high for what i could afford...Looks awesome. Did you buy it from the original owner?

Re: Ryan Freeland - V1GiLaNtE - 07-28-2010

Congrats and Welcome to MM! First off your picture taking skills are great! I'm totally diggin' that last shot! You'll soon find your wallet lighter and lighter but surrounded by good people and good times! Welcome!

I think he did. Sort of younger female owner from what I remember. Definitely in great shape.

We'll get you out autocrossing, don't worry...

Yup, bought from the original owner and it was in 1 minor accident (that Carfax reported) and has some scrapes on the bumpers. I talked her down to $5k in cash.

Thank you! I think "lighter" is an understatement haha. I drained my bank account to buy the car, and now it's a battle between paychecks and car parts. I'm happy though. Smile
