Nice Honda.

Lower it.

[Quiggs]

Ugly wheels. Lower it.

[digitalcraft]

Huh. I like it, wheels are ok too. I wouldn't lower it, but then again, I like going over speedbumps and stuff.

[Quiggs]

I go over speedbumps. Slowly and crooked.

B16A VTEC cylinder head
Toda Spec B cams
Supertech dual valvesprings
Supertech titanium retainers
Z-Speed Cam gears...

i just need some more things like forged pistons and rods, ACL bearings, B18C oil and water pump etc etc...

it sucks being a student, but next year i start working, and then i get cash for my car stuff

LOL don;t listen to Badda, if it were up to him he'd want you to lower the bike in the last pic too what a man..

At least he has moved on from drop an LS7 in it...but in case he hasn't i'll save him the trouble. Drop an LS7, then lower it...then lower it some more

love the cars power and handling. last i saw one had a cashmire silver paint job with 18 inch rims. a subtle but useful spoiler.

Where are you from? I used to live in Swaziland way back in the day.

[Glisson]

I've got Swaziland visitors with me as we speak.
Whereabouts in Swazi were you?

[rich990]

That's a lot of work and money to put in a FWD car. I think it's better to keep it like it is and buy a RWD car later on. It's what I would do.
