Yes.. Yes car parts. I had a throttle body show up at my door the other week for my Toyota MR2.

Ooh MR2. I need it

 

I'm planning on picking up a 5th Gen Honda Prelude, simply because they're quick (under 7 seconds to 60MPH), can hit 145MPH completely stock, and they're cheap. $2.5K for one in really good shape.

 

But I would love an MR2, S2000, 240SX, WRX STI, so many cars I want, so little money

Because the liquid solution costs 1/4 of the card.

from a cost point fair enough, but we don't know when this was, could have been the 760 was new

It's something to do. Some people like modding just to mod, to make it their own.

Owch... My heart... I had a 2001 Honda Prelude. I loved that thing... I painted the stock wheels black, tinted the windows, taillights, and gave it halo hid headlights with the black background to it. I put a turbo in it and tuned it for performance, full aftermarket exhaust and no fart cannon lol. stickered the rear window to say Zaj Dub, which means Black Dragon, and the car was lowered 1.3 inches, also added a black lipkit all the way around. It was sexy... I miss that car so much, I ran into a deer and drifted off the road.

I'm sorry to hear that, my friend's S10 met that same end not too long ago, except it was a family of Raccoons.

We all walked away fine, but definitely were sore.

 

I didn't know about the Prelude until my friend had one (They're pretty rare in Indiana) but ever since I drove his 5th gen Prelude that was bone stock. I was in love. Still am, really looking forward to getting one, boosting it is definitely on my list of things to do once I'm sure it's mechanically sound.

 

If you ever want to talk about cars on LTT, we have a pretty cool thread:

5th gen preludes are lovely cars. I really wish I had another to mod. I wish I had a picture of my prelude back then I'd show you it, but I got rid of my facebook and changed my email due to certain people in this world. lol

 

But definitely go for it! Just keep in mind the sunroof drains clog up and pour into your trunk. Mine rusted a hole in the trunk. Get that checked before you buy it, and keep those drains clean!

Getting seals redone on the truck area, and the rear window are near the top of my list, my friend's 5th gen leaked in those areas after a while.

 

Will do! :D
