I just bought a 1992 Honda Prelude, and im pretty new to the whole "modding" scene. I was just wondering where you guys buy your parts from? any sites?

 

Skunk2.com
ebay. (lol.)
grounddynamics.com
andysautosport.com
horsepowerfreaks.com
vibrantperformance.com

probably more i cant think of at the moment.

 

Check the for sale thread at the top for starters, you can find deals on all kinds
of stuff. Also you can read the FAQ's at the top as well to get a better idea on
what's a good investment and what's a waste of money as far as performance parts.

 

im not too familiar with what exhaust i should get..
whats the common one to get?

 

How deep are your pockets? The Greddy evo2 is a great exhaust to go with. Your looken at $650 or so.

 

my pockets are high as ****.
literally, i wanna make my car look and perform nicely on a budget.
cheap as possible i guess

 

You can do WS2 muffler with 2.5" custom exhaust piping. Thats what I have and I paid 200.00 for the muffler & 180.00 for the 2.5" custom piping, so all in all it's still around 400.00+ for the whole complete WS2 catback or custom.

 

im a really big noob on cars, and i need a goto person for my questions, are any of you willing to give me your contact information so i can IM/text/whatever you at any time?

 

check out our site, www.sonicmotor.com or you can just PM me.

 

Or you could do what i did. Cheap but yet sounds amazing. Is megan racing exhaust. This ( http://www.meganracing.com/products/...d=294&catid=21 )is the one i whent with and have been happy with it ever since. $380. The tip is big for my likeing but i am very picky. I can post a pic of what it looks like if your considering it.

 

yeah if you can, post a picture

im trying to find a car to copy, my car is like a midnight blue

 

Black Lude https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...055314&page=13

 

thats a pretty nice car man. i dont know what to do with my car :\ its almost bone stock but needs new springs, they're worn out especially the front driver side. its slowly destroying my fender.

If you can, can you post up different pictures of your car? current mods and prices for each?

sorry, im a car noob and i dont know the least about them right now but im willing to learn

 

Thanks man. Well what i did when i first got my lude was fix or replace anything that wasn't in working condition. For example i had to tear out the climate control and replace it with a new one, replace blown speakers, ordered a new clam shell for the steering column, had to replace temp sensor, and completely redo the wiring for the stereo/sub. Advice i can give you is to do the same, if you do these little things now you have a good base to start with and dont have random problems to deal with later. I will post up some more pics later. As far as the springs go, its a good idea just to do the springs and shocks at the same time that way you have new suspension components and will be a smoother ride than just going with one or the other. Im guessing you are wanting to lower your car so a good budget suspension would be the function and forms type 1. Its kinda a stiff ride but they're good for the price-around $500.

 

do you have any other way i can talk to you? AIM? MSN?
i figured it'd be alot faster to get my questions answered if we talked through that.

i need to fix quite a bit of things like the driver side panel, its cracked so i cant lock the door. The Molding on top of the car is rusted. The headlights arent really working, well they're dim. any solutions?

 

1. Craigslist
2. Ebay

Done.

 

its so hard to find those pieces in LA, California.

i dont know what to buy, so im looking for advice from someone who knows what they're talking about to tell me what to do basically

 

Umm the only IM system i use is facebook so you can add me on there. send me a pm if you want. But ehat do you mean by driver side panel?? The little plastic trim around the door handle/switches? How bad is the rust? (pics?) For the headlights have you tried new bulbs at all just to see if it makes a difference? Check your fuses make sure theyre all good and check the headlight harnesses, make sure they're not damaged at all.

 

how often are you on facebook? cause then i can just send you pictures of it via and we can discuss on how ima finish it and make it look nice before i actually start working on it

 

is it possible for me to take off my current exhaust tip, and put on a new one? or do i have to change the whole system

the one i have right now sounds like an angry wood chipper
