Re: New to Honda's, cars in general, My project (Apocolipse269)
well, heres some things id probly do different...
1. I wouldnt worry about body kits or anything, they scrape pretty easy, and they make your car more flashy, my cars been broken into before and it sucks so I dont want to make anyone think its all awesome and stuff, but its your money, dont let what I say turn you against getting something you want.
2. the del sol seats are REALLY nice, people love putting them into their civics, Id consider keeping them...
3 for the swap a lot of people like b16a(better for turbo charging, or so ive heard) or b18c ( more horsepower without turbo)
For antitheft and whatnot, Id get a nice clifford alarm, or theres a viper thats exactly like the clifford... both made by the same company now.

Dear N00b,
Although i enjoy eating rice, i do not enjoy watching rice roll down the street, it is a very annoying process always filled with dissapointment. please use rice only to eat. thank you
Sincerally,
DemostheneZ
p.s. body kits add weight, which is the last thing you should really ever consider. and don't use terminology like "nos" this will cause ppl to flame you, and the real term is "nitrous, giggle gas, spray". "nos" is a brand of nitrous. ie "zex" and so forth.
