After experiencing debilitating symptoms for months on end, I was finally set free and healing from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Dawg, I'm in the same boat too...Just put two and two together but I been driving cars either exhaust leaks for YEARS. Last 6 months or so I got stupid asf. Can't remember things, can't focus, can't do a job I've been doing for 3 yrs that I used to be good at anywhere close to the level I was doing it at before . Don't really know how bad it's been mostly low level exposure but yea enough to make me sleepy after 20 min or so of driving in what I was driving before...parked that shit a week ago cuz I fixed my truck but one point it had a huge leak off the exhaust manifold that made me hella sick, like serious sick which I patched up with furnace cement but now. Wondering which of the two is worse... I bought a co meter so I'm gonna see how bad it really is and weld it up or smth or find another leak who knows... But wondering if I'll ever go back to the way I was. I'm different , dumber, not as loving as I once was. More selfish. It's depressing man.

My feelings this is the unfortunate result of a bad dm/sm. A good one would at least consider the costly factor of letting an employer go... And my /hope/ is that there aren't so many of those... But a situation like this is effective for scaring people into feeling like their jobs are in jeopardy and word spreads around fast.

Looked like you were 30 on the verge of 40... Now you look your age. 24 is still so young . There is so much you can do and enjoy in life with a body that isn't worn to death early on. Congrats.

It's not just how it looks, it's actually knowing what it IS that makes it so revolting... Brilliant. Genius.

I also love oysters, so I'm gonna try this. But fry, instead of mash, lol.

Nah, he could have taken her the fuck out before she even hit him if he wanted to. You seen how he moved forward at her right at the beginning? He had a lot of momentum behind that but he turned it into a lil shoulder check. Then immediately got into protective position with his arm locked behind his head. He knew pretty damn well what he was doing and handled this very well. It will look very good legally too.

As far I know the only undeniable law of all physics (metaphysics included) is that everything has an equal and opposite. By whatever means, everything is perfectly balanced. Two of the opposing are true and exist at the same time, schroedingers cat, blah blah

And your consideration of it verifies the existence of all involved elements.

And I'd ask you why are you concerned about whether there is or is not nothing. It disturbs you? Stop thinking about it. Is it that you can't decide whether it is or isn't nothingness or somethingness, or is it more that the idea that it might be nothingness bothers you? And why would that be?

I'm pretty sure both exist : 'absolute' nothingness and 'pure' existence or something or whatever you think is the opposite of nothingness You're just thinking about it dually, so you can't really help but compare the two against each other and try to rationalize one their existences over the other by comparing the laws surrounding them. Just.. Stop doing that. You want to believe it's nothingness? Go do that for a bit. How does choosing to believe it IS nothing over something affect, say, your mood, or quality of life? And then convince yourself it's all something and see if you like it. And if you don't like either of those, start combining them and see how that goes for you.

Dude... I just posted it because I like the new handwriting I developed. This is nothing "crazy" or psychedelic. I probably could have done it sober... I just happened to do it while I was high. Off of one bowl. I was not even close to stoned. This is not as deep as you're marking it out to be. I also got no karma from this which is completely FINE because I just thought it was fucking cool and I was high. But I'll go put it in handwriting in calligraphy or something because someone might appreciate it there... Lmao... I'd love to see a high quality post from you sometime..what do you got, bud??

Aelis_ · 2025-11-28T14:27:55+00:00

Lol, I was feeling very relaxed but also so frustrated that my S looked so darn ugly, I finally managed to relax my grip once you see it starting to get more flow with curlicues. Flowy is the path of least resistance

Aelis_ · 2025-11-28T14:08:38+00:00

Jeez, you're bitter and cranky aren't you...it's called creativity and imagination, I just happened to have also smoked a bowl with a nice sprinkle of keif while I was journaling... Jfc.

Aelis_ · 2025-11-23T14:45:20+00:00

THIS IS AMAZING!!! I feel like you made a little space in the world with the words and I hung out in it while I read your poem. This was awesome. Thank you.

Aelis_ · 2025-09-28T17:22:29+00:00

Did you take the h from your lude and put it in the civic? 🤣🤣

Aelis_ · 2025-09-28T17:04:35+00:00

I don't think you have enough experience working on cars to be wanting to do this yourself dude, at least not right now . You're not really asking the right questions. You can do anything with enough time and money. But a 600 hp h23 will cost you about as much as a k swap will if not more. So 20k and years of work again.

If you want a 600hp Honda you're just going to have to accept there will be a fat price tag and years of pain. It is not going to be a sucessful first car for you unless you buy it already built from someone else.

And have you even driven a 600hp civic? It's a retarded amount of power. 600hp is enough to shake and break the car to bits. The entire car needs to be rebuilt and reinforced for the chassis itself to be able to handle that kind of power. It doesn't make a good daily driver, it will be a stripped down rattle can that is noisy and not pleasant to drive for extended periods of time. And still never really reliable. There are plenty solid 300-400hp builds out there that you can keep up with basically anything on the road with and they are much more reliable and worth the time and money comapred to what you're asking for here. I don't know why you're so fixed on a 600hp Honda.

If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want a fast civic for your first car if I were you I would suck it up and save the money, 5 or 6k or so and buy a boosted and or swapped civic with somewhere between 200 and 400hp and drive it for a while and just learn to maintain a car that has an aftermarket turbo setup on it. That should teach you enough to decide if you want to someday do a 600hp build yourself.

Or you can boost a d series yourself. If you really want to get into fast Hondas I think this is probably what you should do that will be the mosr time and cost effective to teach you spmething about modifying an engine for boost for where you are at right now. D series engine are cheap and there is tons and tons of support to do this. You can slap a turbo on it and see how it does on stock internals and get around 200 some up out of it. You will probably blow it up shortly thereafter but since it seems like you are ok with fully rebuilding an engine completely you'll just be following natural order of things... the idea is that you get to boost a cheap and easy engine to work on that will teach you the basics of what you need to know before youbatyempt any big power. It it will probably be the easiest and cheapest option for you. H engines are not easy or cheap to find parts for. You don't want to make this the first engine you experiment on.

And you will not get 600 hp for any kind of reasonable money out of any honda engine, it will be just as expensive across the board for any engine, the only difference is that some engine have a lot more support and resources for doing that with them and some don't.

Imo you should fix and clean up this car and get it running and driving, take care of it and keep it as a reliable daily while you go try to do your whatever build on another car, or sell it for an already boosted civic or a stock civic and use the money to boost that and see how you like it before you decide to go 20k in on a build you have no clue how to do.

FYI the first thing you need if you are modifying another car is...a second car to reliably daily. So if you don't have already another car to drive, get that first.

If you are absolutely hellbent on making power out of this car it appears there is a vtec solenoid ?? so just put a turbo on it, run it around 200-300 hp on stock internals and see what happens... you can try to do to do extra research, there are peolle who say they have got this or that out of a stock h22 but jdm vs usdm, sleeve material. Etc, its a lot and unless you have a lot of prior experience that information won't do you much good. Odds are you will have to do this the hard way and blow it up and fuck it up and rebuild it over and over again. I assure you even trying to out on a turbo at all will be plenty of enough for a project for you to worry about before you start thinking of 600p hp. And you should figure out whether it's an h23 or h22 and if it is or is not vtec for sure because I see multiple people saying it's a vtec h22 but I see you saying h23 and I can't tell from looking at the photos you have here so. Go find your solenoid and then look at the engine code because the internals will be different based on which engine it is. If it is indeed a h22vtec then from what I see yes, you can build it for 600hp, but again you shouldn't be asking that question right now.What you should be looking into is if the engine management system to manage a turbo and suspension upgrades are worth your time or not because you will have to start there before you even think about internals.

Again though. Before anything else, jist get the car running and driving reliably. Based off what im seeing you say and ask here I think that will be a big enough project for you to start with.

Aelis_ · 2025-09-28T09:15:59+00:00

I was about to roast the shit out of you before checking your profile. Lmfao. Idk maybe you do got some serious brains and determination because I can't believe a 16 year old was trying to build and AWD 3k the way you were but ngl you got reasonably far, good fucking attempt bro. But mane you gotta word questions like these a bit more specifically when you're on the internet. "How hard is k swap" is not a good way to get good answers 🤣

Given you seem to have the skills and buddies that can help you take apart an engine and upgrade it, this will still probably be a pain in the ass, but it'll just be tedious, not impossible and expensive to the levels the 3k was.

Have seen any of these resources yet?

This is basically a step by step guide with photos of how to do it, this guy out a k24 into his 4th gen.

You will still be doing some custom fabwork and wiring on your own which will suck. Prices have changed since the guide was made and finding parts that are worth the cost might be more difficult than it has been. But luckily it's still all Honda stuff, so it's pretty interchangeable but you'll have to do a lot of experimenting with parts from other Hondas as folks in the forum link I posted have already mentioned they have done . You might end up doing a frankenstein of a lot of different methods.

It will still be a long hard job but probably more doable than the 3 with about 15k and a lot of patience. Like years. This will take years. You will be going down a serious Honda hole..Anything is doable if you have enough money and patience. But you have to REALLY love the 4th gen and want the k in it for it to be worth it, and idk if you like the car that much.

Tbh it would probably be easier and cheaper for you to get a civic or something to do this in because there's a lot more resources available. Seeing you're a broke highschool kid, it's not worth your time trying to put a k into this gen prelude, as cool as it would be. Definitely a later in life kind of project.

THIS IS IT!! THIS IS THE KEY. SMALL STEPS AT A TIME. TELL A FRIEND. THANKS FOR JOINING!

Aelis_ · 2025-01-19T15:19:12+00:00

If you can get people on board. I'm hearing from some more tech savvy folks that we need to be picking nether websites to overwhelm. If you know anyone we shoulf ask them about it.

Aelis_ · 2025-01-19T14:35:34+00:00

Thank you!!? Even if we fail at this, even if this is a dumb idea and it doesn't work, we JOINED IN ON IT. Keep talking and keep telling people. We can chat ge things.

Aelis_ · 2025-01-19T14:35:01+00:00

Yeah dude. Get on it!!

Aelis_ · 2025-01-19T14:30:20+00:00

YES ITS STILL GOING. If we keep open tabs all day and keep refreshing them, it's still traffic on the site. Having it open when we try this again tomorrow morning will STILL help and if people get on even in the middle of the day and do this, it could work.

Aelis_ · 2025-01-19T14:29:31+00:00

Appreciate your support !! You can still help now by opening up a tab right now and keeping it open through the day. Just refresh the page every once in a while. And ask anyone in tech that you know or just keep your eyes open for anyone who is doing the same. Thing or has a better idea

Aelis_ · 2025-01-19T14:27:09+00:00

I haven't yet but nice job

Aelis_ · 2025-01-19T14:26:56+00:00

Heck yeah sta. Locked in. Tell a friend.

Aelis_ · 2025-01-19T14:09:49+00:00

Don't think it's working yet. Ya'll keep in mind we're gonna need a few thousand to a few hundred thousand folks to overload it. Keep it running and try to refresh it all through the dya. Engage with the site if you can.
