HonDerp Civic CRX…
Del Sol. Perhaps be most confusing Civic chassis as you can barely define the peculiar targa top. Not quite a coupe, not quite a convertible, definitely not a CRX, a fact taken into consideration as the CRX and Civic label was dropped outside of the Japanese Domestic Market. Nevertheless, the unique Honda platform has found its place among niche enthusiasts looking for something special amongst the Honda line up.

Oh the 90′s
I couldn’t help but think about the Fast and the Furious style cars when I saw the cleared tail lights on this EG. I was born in Flushing, NY so when I was younger, little cars with huge wings, unnecessary chrome mods, and flashing lights were all too familiar. However, I do like how this bubble looks. The otherwise “ricey” cleared tail lights work for this car in my opinion. What do you guys think about the cleared tails?

Amongst the sea of cookie cutter Honda Civics arises David Arocho’s ’97 Civic DX Hatch. The combination of quality parts, the B16b, well fitting body panels, lack of ’90s vader body kit, and especially that paint make the car what it is today. Sit back and enjoy the pictures (courtesy of Bryan Orjuela).
Props to David Arocho for doing it up right!

Honda.Day.2010
Yesterday, August 15 2010, Joe aka FRENCH and myself went to Honda Day 2010 at Englishtown (props to Sean PANA Stuart for inviting us). So here’s how the day went for me. Woke up at 6:30 AM to wash the car, took a shower, headed out to meet up with FRENCH, and then drove to E-town. I was in the show, but I didn’t compete because of complications with registration, but I still had a lot of fun. It was great to see some familiar faces and some e-famous and not so famous rides. I met up with PANA and we talked for a few and he gave us some crazy complements which really meant a lot. It was great to have conversation with a fellow car enthusiast and photographer about more than just cars and pictures of cars, but its culture. We can look at pictures all we want, but growth in the enthusiast, the culture, and the quality of the cars being built, is the ultimate goal of IvyLeagueEast because for those people out there that really do build cars because of their love for cars and all things incorporated, the car would not be sh!t without them. Remember, YOU should be building the car, NOT an internet forum, NOT a viral website, NOT youtube, just YOU!
So this post goes out to all of our less fortunate single cam, non-vtec toting car owners, as well as our lucky DOHC vtec equipped B, H, F, 2.0 or 2.4 liter K series, or 6 cylinder J series boasting die hard Honda fans.
Special shout-outs go out to Sean PANA Stuart, Sol Fresh Krew, New Image Motorsports, Dave Tormey and the rest of the Canibeat crew, and the one guy with the Red S2000 on teal Works for shutting-it-down!
Here’s our coverage from the show. Forgive me for the quantity of pictures that I took, but I think these will suffice.
