    well if in the first place, they didn't mark those prices so **** high for those nicer cars, then they'll have got more sales on those.

    just like the Sweet S2000, how sad they took that one off line even before the Prelude.

    i also wanted one of those.

    i just basically like all those cars that looks awesome after Modding.

    are you planning on doing any conversion on that baby sometimes in the future?
    Well, I plan on tweaking the suspension first. I want to buy some rims (don't know what kind), hi-quality shocks, adjustable coilovers, front & rear strut bars. I'll worry about the performance mods later on (if I have any money left ). I'm not sure if I want to get a body kit for it, because that's not really my thing, but if I were it would be this one (see attachment). What about you Allgamer? Have you done anything to your Prelude yet?

    Volvo 440GLE injection - 1.7injection
    Citroen ZX 1.9D Avantage

    Both nice in their own way, the volvo for kicking the backside of sporty cars (i.e. modded punto's), the citroen for longer drives.

    em, they are my parent's cars but.....
    Volvo (made 1990) = £260
    Citroen (made 1995) = £320
    both cars have myself (19, 2yrs driving no bad things happened (official anyway )), my dad (52, 30yrs driving), my mam (you don't say a womans age ) fully comp.

    A few quotes I have got:
    90' Supra - 3.0Litre Twin Turbo - worth £1000, £10,000 I kind you not.
    850 Mk1 Austin Mini - £2300
    Said Volvo - £1400

    A mate tried to insure a 1.4 Ford Fiesta Flight - £2500. Doesn't matter what you drive if you are 19 and male - you pay very high insurance!

    Those are sweet little cars, but a bit over priced. Wish I had $30,000 to get a new 2003 eclipse

    That's not a bad idea actually

    a lot of people do that for real

    but they call it Custom, or Mod, or... etc...
