I want to do this for the hell of it.

Would you buy another honda to mod if you were going to start another project?

I personally wouldnt. Im not sure what I would buy, but it wouldnt be a honda. Id buy one for an everyday driver, but not to mod.:no:

Please lets not turn this into a pissing contest. If you dont like what someone has to say keep it to yourself. Lets try to keep this positive and on topic.;)

Thank you.

Whats that got to do with me buying another honda. I personally dont get the enjoyment out of hondas as I use to. I think they are great cars to drive, but there are so many better things out there as a project car. Thats just my personal preference. If its not your then thats fine. :rolleyes:

I just want to see if anyone has had a change of heart after doing it the first time or not. And if so what kinda bigger and better things would you move onto thats all.

The new 2003 240hp Accord Coupe actually looks really nice and if that will come in stick...it'll be fast as hell too.
It'd be fun to mod that imo.

But since I never owned a honda, and only hear people's opininos on them, it's hard for me to say.

I think I'd love to own the newest Lude! 2001 I believe. SH model! :yes:

Well, I love my Honda, and its a great daily driver, but if I was to buy something purely for speed, no. I'd get a Toyota Supra, 240sx, rx7, etc. This would only be when I had a secure job etc, and I'd still probably own a Honda to driver everyday :)

i said that just to mess with you. i want something better than a honda that's why i look for BMW's right now.

Chances are.. Regardless of what Benz I own, there will always be a HONDA in my garage.



And, some of you might have forgotten about this..

Right now, that has got to be one the prettiest (not too expensive) car I've ever seen.

Available in 2003 as a 2004 model.

if i was buying another honda.. s2k or nsx.. i need rwd and handling. the prelude is turning into a dead end.. its quick, handles decent... but over all im not as impressed with honda as i though i was when i bought my 2 preludes(yes im on my second one) if i was buying another car to mod it.. definitly not a honda.. ive waisted too much money and time on this car and not rely improved it all that much.the only reason i'd buy another honda was to build a autox car... but my 240 im probobly going to end up building will outhandle and outperform corvettes(shooting for low 12's with a complete TEIN suspension with many other goodies) when im done with it.. so.. yeah.. but im sticking to imports at least.
