You have made a good choice in keeping your Honda.
1. It is paid for.
2. It is a very stable, reliable car.
3. There is a lot of potential for modifications.
What you need to do though, is not jump into anything. Take your time and plan out what you want to do to your car. Consider cost, time, availability of parts etc. when deciding. Think about the maintenance too on whatever you decide on. Research a lot before making any final judgments. Have a plan!
Sounds like a lot, but the time you spend now planning it out, will be the time saved later trying to salvage a half-thought out attempt.
Good luck!

The best thing to do is decide what you want in the end and start from there. Once you decide which route you're going to go (turbo, n/a, show etc) you can plan for that and buy parts accordingly.

I have plans for it but i will cost a bit of money but as long as its fast reliable and kicks ass then i will spend it to have fun. :rice:

Money is right. My wallet is getting raped up the butt without lube on my project. It's a good thing I have credit and a decent paying job. Good luck with your car. I hope it turns out how you want.

ya thats true i have a plan on what to do with Honda as soon as i save up some extra money then i will start all mods except engine and turbo. That i will wait for until my engine blows up then i will put those in until then i will have a pretty bad beast even without the bigger engine and turbo. :rice:

I suggest u think about doing the efi swap first.Some of Seans products will make this swap a lot less complicated.
