Alrite so since we can all agree we are automobile junkies of one sort or another......
I know there has to be a couple of you that switched over from the import side, have some, had some or know people in that community.
My grave yard shift job that i got 2 months ago is working out.
BUT
The fuel for the 92 Suburban w the 454 IS NOT-6mpg = about $300 month.
SO
I just I just picked up a clean 91 Honda Accord 5-speed with 190K miles. Well sorta clean. Needs some body work but the interior is very well kept up. Stole it for $500.
So Ive already started moding it. HOLY CRAP is this stuff cheap.
New clutch, lightened steel flywheel stage 1 - $175 del
NEW front fenders, hood, F/R bumpers- $200 del
Tint & alarm - $125 installed
Picking up 18" x 7.5" Motgei Racing MR7 - used $100
Alot of these are coming from our contacts for the body shop. But still damn cheap.
Here are my questions.
#1-Anyone ever purchase the NANKANG NS-II tires?
I can get 4 - 225/35 Del $300
#2-What about Gabreil Shocks of KYB?
#3-What about Megans Coil Springs w adjustable mounts? Are the ebay cheappies any good?
#4-Best bang for the buck on engine mods? I take it they wont take any kind of boost at all?
#5-Full exhaust?
Dont want that huge amplifier trash can on the back either.
Lastly what do i need to have checked out immediately?
Thanks SHU
