Default bought a new car (56k, can try?)

Well, got my first car in the "honda" game.

Went from this...




To this...










No tripod and quick pictures in the shade. I'll take better pictures later on tonight. The car is a 95 Prelude SI, 5-spd. I'm loving it so far. Any questions or comments I'll be glad to answer.

I've always been intested in hondas...my friend has owned 2, 92 lude and now has a 2000 lude. The car is exactly how I bought it. I dunno know exactly what the guy was thinking with the mesh, but I don't have a whole lot of money left, gotta wait for a few more pay checks. The shift **** is ugly, but I plan on just stripping the "chrome" paint off and painting it black. The mesh will eventually come off. And yes...thats purple tint on the ******* back. But whatever, its a huge step up from the 3-spd auto of the neon. Feels a lot quiker and a lot funner to drive. Modding will probably start with an ebay intake and a stupid muffler from baxters or something. I gotta save for school and an h22a swap next summer. So I don't want to buy to many extra parts for a motor I won't have in a year. Anyways, thats the car, thanks for the comments.

Well the washington plates are gone...sitting in my garage. I don't live in washington.

Theres a lot more power and its a lot easier to get out of the engine. That 3-spd auto in the neon was a slug.

Who are you talkin to Civicr2gs5?
