What do I do with $2000 on my 93Si - Honda Prelude Forum

JayKnight · 08-06-2003, 06:49 PM

I am selling my 86 Si next week and I am just looking for some ideas to put on my 93 Si

Keep in mind I am not quite ready to start working under the hood yet. I am debating on if I should get suicide doors (never seen it done to a 4th gen) or if I should redo my stereo system.

I already have a nice set of 17's with Kumho Tires....

I was just wanting opinions on wheter I should do my doors or not.

All idea will be taking into consideration, but derogotory remarks will not be taken to lightly (THAT MEANS NO FLAMING OR HATERS

)

So let me have the ideas.

Oh this is my car now.....

Performance first, then looks. IMO

Suicide doors might be neato if your car already had an aggressive look, but it just looks like a stock car with some wheels.

You could get a body kit and have it painted. So the only thing you want to do is suicide doors? Why not lambo doors instead?

it's unfortunate that you don't wanna go under the hood yet. i woulda suggested:

JDM H22 longblock: 1200
P13 ECU: 300
JDM 1 piece headlights: 300

that's 200 leftover i guess.

you can also do a very nice stereo setup with that much money. like custom fabrication to the trunk and maybe install a nice big screen or something.

GC Coils - 350
KYB AGX - 350
alignment - 90
JDM one piece - 250
Remove those stupid mud gaurds - free
12 pack of beer - 10 bucks
Remove Winshield washer LEDs - free
OEM Fogs - 200

LED spoiler - 250
Kaminari sides, Kam rear, WW RS front lip, paint..... egh you would be stretching to get that in for 500 bucks so you better make that 12 pack a couple 40s.

Of course... that is just my honest opinions.

I think you should get the LED spoiler and save/invest the rest of your money, if you're not interested in performance.

edit: if you're in to good sound, I would pick up the on-sale alpine 7995 for $280 at crutchfield, the $150 cdt classic comps at thezeb.com, and maybe a us acoustics amp from thezeb as well. for less than $500 you should have a pretty sweet setup (excluding the sub)

what kinda condition are the spots where you take the mud guards off in afterwards? any mods you have to do to make it look normal? i was thinking about doing it, but i dont like messing with body work, and not very good at it.

my mudgaurds left some gnarly outlines from where they were

id say go with the stereo and the 40's

suspension and then maybe a kit if you're going for show.

I took mine off after 10 years of them being on there and you couldn't tell a difference. There are 4-5 screws that hold the fronts on and I'm not sure about the backs. I just replaced the screw holes with the screws.

I made sure to clean the surface behind it with a meguiars 3 step. I seriously couldn't tell a difference and it looks so much better. IMO

Bah, mud guards protect the side and rear bumper from your tires slinging up rocks and debris...mine are staying.

Sonik_Fury · 08-08-2003, 12:50 PM

Get the JDM H22A($1300), once you go VTEC you never go back.....
And KYB AGX and H&R Sports($500-$600). The difference in power and handling alone, will make you think you're driving MY car.......hahaha yeah baby! J/K

Red4WS · 08-08-2003, 05:20 PM

If you care nothing about performance then i would go with the JDM headlights black of coarse. Then get a factory looking spoiler or try a mugen looking one...dont think ive every seen one in person.
