I give the credit to the haters out there who only promote this and other threads as well. "The best prelude in the world" is now a household name around here and I am known as a braggart, hater, dumbass, etc as well.
I don't care, I've made every part of my build known and what I do and don't do with the car now. I don't believe I've ever said anything about it that wasn't true, I don't make up big numbers that my car puts down (they're mediocre for the H22) or post track times (drag or courses) because I said I haven't done those yet. I even explained why I titled my thread the way I did too, and nobody has really commented that what I did was actually a good reason when you look at the bigger picture.
I personally don't think I brag about items I got for my car. This thread started with enthusiasm for rare products that I was posting a couple months ago on my sig that I wanted to buy, and guess what, I got 'em.
I simply put it up for the reasons I've already stated, to find out if anyone else on here was bidding on them (because I had a strong feeling they were) and to see what other car they would've had a home in had I not won the auction.
I wholeheartedly believe that I spent too much, but everything that costs more than the stock price of just general maintenance on a 10 year old car is "too much." But it is a labor of my love and it's something I've really gotten into. I know most of the haters comments are fueled by the "back and forth's" we had over that one guys beat up 4th gen that I claimed was a bad purchase for what he wanted to do with it, and there's not much I can do about it. I'll just let them have their little fun with it all and pretend they're big scary badboys when they jump on this forum.

There you go again tooting your own horn.
You constantly say how you are joking, or aren't bragging. But every post you make has some sort of soap box, or bragging rights loaded in it. With a half-as$ attempt at negating it by adding a "haha" or some sh!t.
Point is, many of us here have seen many nice ludes come and go. We respect 99 percent of those who put so much hard work into it, but the minute you start putting yourself above others, all the a respect disappears. To be honest, I don't care if your car is the nicest prelude in the world, especially when it comes loaded with your righteousness.
