get a loan, then a better car. i pay 350 a month and 240 extra bucks = 590 which is like what a vette leases for.

I'd save that money and put it into the suspension....

But in all honesty I wouldn't spend any of it on the car, and I'd save up to invest it. Buy a vette later when you're a baller because you were smart with your money.

well, big story aside. i'm stuck with this car, and i dotn mind, totally into doing a fat k20 swap, i wonder if the rsx weighs more than a civic coupe? i would , for now, stick to doing interior, or suspension, don't want too much attention from the fuzz...

i would just save it and read up, and wait until you see something you want. I read up on everything coming out, and what is out, and find out what I want to buy next, and just figure out what part of the car needs what, whether it be inside, outside, or the engine (which Im doing next).

that was a long sentence

let me ask u, is there any kinda of racing scene where u live? if not, then getting a swap is pointless if no one will race you, same thing with turbo. {i would search for it but im lazy but a turbo'd civic once said b4 the turbo every1 and their mom would race him but after the turbo, no one would}
