Re:I'm thinking about buying my first honda
remember this... when you look at buying a "race" car, that is what you are getting.
cars that are used for racing are not going to last as long as a car that was not. if you used the same amount of money and bought a car that was not modified, you could make it last longer and you would know what all is done to the car. when you buy a modified car, and something goes wrong and then you open up the hood and find that all the wires are leading to the ecu are in a rats nest.... you wil be spending more money trying to re-do what someone else messed up. if you really wanted the civic that already had the h22, i would make sure to go over it with a fine tooth comb. that money could be spent elsewhere and you could get farther than just by buying a car that was "mildly" driven, when they beat the ---- out of it, and now you have a broken h22 civic... i dont want to discourage you, but just so you dont get antsy and want to believe that it is a better car than it is... |
