Whats A Good Swap?

[Wes]

^ that was weird... i came back to this topic to ask what cosmetic upgrades i should consider and there it was... thanks steronz

i was thinkin about starting out with:
some new taillights
exhaust system (or just a exhaust muffler to make the car sound good)
getting it lowered definetly (a cousin of mine will do it for me, just gotta buy the kit.. whats some good ones?)
fixing the small paint chips on the fender, bumper and spoiler
rims and new tires (the tires on it are in excellent shape, i might sell them)
new seats (i love the racing bucket seats)

stuff like that... small stuff really, but still hella expensive... also, you said get a new suspension system... would new coils, springs etc. come with a lowering kit? just wondering... lemme know and thanks

im thinking of getting a suspention over hual
and i havent seen one cheaper then 900 bucks
includes coilovers camber kit for front and back and control arms
but then im going to need some sway bars and ....so much more

man if you worried about the money here is the trick
SAVE...get the project in mind one part of the car frist and just save
just took me a year just to save up for an engine
from there suspention and on and on

but thats me
everyone does it diffrent
but they all SAVE!!!!

but thanks for the adv... ill be decidin on what to get

wow. You deff need to spend some time reading and researching. You obviously have done neither on this site or others. Most people with heavy mods have put years of work into thier cars to get where thier at. I've seen the brokest of people with bad ass cars because they were commited to it. And if your ganna complain about how much it cost to do this or that, maybe car moding isn't for you. Please dont take this as me being a dick, im just trying to give u some advice.

[Wes]

$560 is tooo much cuz... only $125 for a friend of mine's 'stang

[jtw156]

lol, $560 is too much for what exactly? Then go buy a mustang douche.

dumbass

dude you realy need to study up it seems like you don't know ANYTHING about cars yet alone Hondas. You really need to decide what you are looking for in a car. Mods cost money and we'll be able to tell you approximately how much they will cost. It seems like most people have been patient with you so far. So don't push your luck, we're all here to help


oh and also if you buy cheap parts you're just gonna end up buying new stuff down the road to replace your cheap crap and then you ended up wasting money just a little advice

i think all of you need to chill the fuck out.

telling the kid in a nice way to search is one thing. i'd tell you all to fuck off too if you were flaming me and being rude. way to insure new members stay.


heres what i can tell you Wes. If your looking to lower your car, i'd get a skunk2 lowering kit and possibly cabber kit depending on how much you want to lower. and yes a swap is going to cost upwards of 3k+.

as for exhausts, a muffler isn't going to give you any power gains. only more sound and probably tickets. if you want a few poinies you got to get at least a cat-back system($600). something from Greddy or Apexi is always good. If you want even more horse, i suggest new header from Dc Sports or other company. That'll prolly run $300+

if you got any other question Wes, feel free to ask.
