Yeah man, the rear main seal was quoted $700 from honda. But I have a guy that will do it for $250!!! I'm stoked about that, I just need a better job so that I can have the extra money to pay for it lol. As far as the car entertainment, I'm currently saving up for my next daily/comp setup. It'll consist of 2 18" Fi Audio BL's powered by 2 AudioQue 2200's. I already own 2 Powermaster D3100 batteries for the trunk to power the amps. The most expensive piece of the whole puzzle is the alternator. It's going to cost me $500, but it's built by mechman, so it's THE best money can buy. I'm looking to play 150 db on music with this setup. My ideas for my car so far consist of:
-Repaint to some sort of flat/stealth black
-Remove all dents
-Re-tint front and rear windows with double 15% tint for extra security.
-Re-tint windshield with 30% instead of 50% on there now
-Sound deaden entire interior of car
-New rims (Nothing expensive, just something to match the stealth black paint)
I've also been debating swapping the motor in this car for something with a little more pep. It seems that all of the engines i've seen have been around $2k for the entire swap. I'd rather put that sort of money into a different car though. Let me know what you guys think of my plans. Any constructive criticism is welcome!
