Got a New (Used) Car Yesterday

Just got another car (2nd) yesterday for $1,600 which I dropped down from $1,800 due to worn tires and a few minor cosmetic problems. My last car is a 1990 Honda Accord LX, which for you guys who don't know the EX is better It has more features and more horsepower. But my last car was in bad shape with alot of annoying problems. But it still ran really good, just too many gay problems like speed sensor not working and a dent on left front because of a stupid accident I did when I first starting learning to drive and I just wasn't thinking straight.

Anyway here's my car I just bought:



It's a 1992 Honda Accord EX with a sunroof It has a small dent on the tip of the hood which I will pop out, sand, primer and paint. Gonna put two 12 subwoofers in the back with some amps. Im going to get bub tailight lens. I'll probably get some 19 inch rims, but not sure if I should get chrome or black.

In the end my goal is for my accord to look something like this:







Btw for anyone looking to get a car, I really suggest getting a nice Honda Accord because IMO they are the best gas saving cars that can also be tweaked to be a racing car which is what I plan on doing in the future when gas drops (if ever). Gas is real high and it's really nice to get 24mpg city, 30 hwy.

They are very nice for Daily Drivers, I have had a few of them over the years. Although I would only get an manual the automatics are too pokey, same goes for most 4 cylinder cars.
As for making them fast "acctual fast not ricer fast" it still cost too much money compared to starting out with something already setup to be fast like a Mustang or Camaro and building from there. Building a fast Civic is more of a bragging wrights than a budget build. You save alot more money buying a car ment to be fast in the first place.

I'm looking at another car for a DD and was looking at a few of the gas savers. I think I'm gonna go with a Cobalt SS or a Saturn Ion redline. Better gas millage than the newer Civics suprsingly and faster.

Congrats!

Certainly can't beat Honda build quality - even 10+ year old cars are still as solid as they were brand new. Looks nice and clean.

I'm personally not into all the non-functional ground effect junk people toss onto [Japanese] imports, but it's fun to do up a car to be all your own. Have fun!

Never mind that, how do you tackle small pebbles on the road? That thing is just barely off the ground!

And I thought it was just a weird British distaste.

I hate most body kits... A lot of people just put body kits on to make the car look fast, but don't do anything to make it fast. I really don't know what I need to do to my car at the moment, need to ask my brother what things I need, it's already lowered, need a strut brace thingy though.

But yea, nice car I'd go for black alloys, just because I hate chrome. Not sure how chrome would look on that car though, might look good. But I prefer black
