Default Wow, Honda's/Acura's Are Fun

I love how everything for a Honda Motor/Car (ACURA INTEGRA 99) is a pain in the ass. In the Last 2 Months I've melted 3 Pistons (honed out the block and got that right), 2 of my Valves Have come loose, I have a Bad Wheel Bearing, A HUGE DENT on my quarter panel, had a messed up o2 sensor (that I fixed), and I think that's about it.....For now. I know I Haven't broken any Axles or anything yet but damn this shit got expensive real quick. I haven't fixed the panel yet but everything else so far Has Cost me over $3,000.00 (putting in the right parts as I go). I figure the dent will cost me another $800 or so. Just out of Curiousity.......how much have you fellas spent on your projects. I think I'm somewhere around $5,000.00 on everything I've put in my car....(including interior upgrades, wheels, yada yada)

Well I'm not going to say it won't be worth it, but it sure is a pain. Trying to find the right parts for the right price seems to be the hardest part. I'm almost done with my 1st Turbo setup but I just need to finish fixing these little things before I put it on the track/dyno.
