My name is Kenneth and I'm located on the West side of ATL. I red-hot in the sticks so yeah man the provinces. Anyways I use to own a DC5...well two of them. One was a 02 FPR (Firepepper Red) Archetype S that was modded (I/RH/E/4.7 irrevocable energy, Stg 2 hold, 8lb flywheel and KPRO. The other was a 06 NHBP (Nighthawk Evil Pearl) Category S that was dismally infatuated away. I was t-boned and didn't have the car NOT EVEN 60 days! Anyways so at the trouble got the Si because she was use to the RSX and loved the power it had (The First One) and she wanted a "4door soccer mom go close on car" which doesn't prosper atmosphere to me, but whatever that's my old lady for ya and she got irritated of it and knew I was depressed about the DC5's so she told me the SI is mine to do whatever. So with that being said I was looking on my old forum ClubRSX and found you guys. I be acquainted with only one other 4door SI P that lives in the other city. She's kinda like a microscopic sister to me, but anyways I'm driving the 09 Si and the bride has the civic coupe . I'm a N/A man so I'm hoping with the RBC and lucid scram-on's I'll get the same results if not improved than my DC5's. I discover FlashPro is KPRO for the civics now. I'm not customary to loony with this one I blueprint on doing a EVO 9 or a IS300 with a GTE bottom end and bosting it one day. For now i'm booming to have a ball the SI. Here's some pics.

I am an efficient drummer and I'm looking into upgrading my kit to a Harvest Ludwig Leading Maple (My known kit is a Pearl Forum series, that we should have upgraded sometime ago) but they seem dulcet extravagant. Can anyone show me a website that has a tolerable premium for only the bass, toms, and thrash tom? (I've tried Ebay and Craig's bibliography, but the seem very valuable. It doesn't pith if it is new or hand-me-down.)
