So the car is back at the dealership for good. (well til someone else buys it at least)...there were too many early signs of problems that i just couldnt afford to deal with. not only that but for 3800 with 104,000 on it it just wasnt really worth it for something else i could buy. It started having a lot of bad signs especially in the mornings which basically means the engine is wearing. like one morning i got some smoke, not fog, smoke. and another morning when my dad drove it the trans would grind into first and second, and then yesterday i finally couldnt deal with it when i took my mom for coffee and there was this knocking/rattling sound but real loud coming from the engine bay...with brand new oil change...so idk but now i'm carless...time to start shopping again

ok excuse me, but the driver wasnt me cause i only had it for a week...my point was that american cars in general typically dont last as long as most foreign cars.

SilverTurboRidin · 10-10-2005, 06:54 PM

Agreed.

Get a 4 door car that has a huge aftermarket and make it faster. Insurance will be less, and it may not be really fast, but you can surprise some people with it.

LS/VTEC or LS turbo, or VTEC turbo, LS/VTEC turbo...stuff like that. Honda's have awesome aftermarket, and you can get them quick easily if you don't spend all your money on bodykits and rims. 4x100 rims are easy to come by from all the wrecked civis and stuff.

SilverTurboRidin · 10-10-2005, 07:11 PM

LS/VTEC swap alone is freaking nasty, Hes gonna need to learn how to handle the power before giving him more than he can chew....Cause look at what happened to my friend mickey on RT 13 the other night in his buddies mustang.

FFG · 10-10-2005, 07:13 PM

you can borrow my explorer till winter

True that. RIP to him.

Either way he goes with that car is pretty much win/win. Honda's are sick when done correctly.

Key words: "when done correctly"
