Well howdy neighbor-reno! Nice choice in color! Any plans for it? Please view the stickies and how-tos to get the 411 on all the "noob" stuff and "steps-to-mod" and what not.

Should have waited though, you could have picked up my ride and a fair price here soon!

Best of luck to yah!

Yea I have been looking threw all the stickies and bookmarking potential things to look at later. I was on a Prelude forum for years with my previous car.

As far as mods, not thinking much past the basics I/H/E then probably the suspension and some rims. Maybe upgrade the stereo and do a body kit at some point.

Welcome to the site. Start off my reading the links in my sig specifically the FAQ and the one relating to bolt-ons. Long story short, save your money, they do next to nothing unless you're turboed.

Turbo is to rich for my blood right now. And I was under the impression most stock autos do not hold up well to turbos. I have not looked into that on here yet though so that gives me something to read up on.

Autos are fine as long as you don't run stupid amounts of boost and don't do neutral drops.
