If you have an intrest in auto x-ing then i would
use it towards suspension.
get a good set of shocks like koni yellows or kyb agx's
and some springs and maybe a strut bar.

what is your setup right now?

Suspension, brakes, and tires... sometimes going fast isn't the funnest thing, but suspension and brakes are an excellent upgrade. Most people buy Prelude's because they love the handling aspect of it... so why not better the best feature of these cars?

I agree...
Save your money for something more important than a car... like your future. If you put that amount into a CD, then in 6months you'll have more to play around with.

edit: i too have received graduation money and the things I plan to use it for are stuff for daily living, a nice winter coat for the cold weather in Boston. i.e. - stuff that really matters first

i say spend it on suspension if you dont have any suspension mods yet. suspension is like the biggest mod that makes your car feel a difference.
