    Should I go for speed or economy?

    Ok , I got a 89 honda accord Lx Automatic (A20A1 I belive)
    for free a few years back. I did some minor repairs to it and added some stuff I got from the junk yard like a new consol
    now I have kept everything stock minus the front right boot which I had to replace. Now that I got it running what do you guys think I should do with it?

    well the car should already get great gass mileage so I would go for power personally because these cars make great sleepers!

    Economy, unless you are brimming with cash that is.

    Well ... its my only car but not for that long I'm going to be getting a honda insight next year... as for cashflow depends on my job since I freelance I really never know my income. But my parents would fund me in this as they do with all my other hobbies/projects I do.
