IF you could start all over...

what would you do to your car?

If i could start over i would have first gotten a 5 speed but at the time i didnt really want one.

Then i would have saved about 1500 bucks and bought a complete lowering kit along with some nice 5zigens and then a cf hood.

What about you guys/gals

I would have gone with a wrx or accord coupe v6. But otherwise I would have gotten a manual. But like injen said, I really didnt want one at the time.

I would have gotten an older civic or accord and modded the hell out of it with the money I would have saved, and had a SOLID car.

I like my 7th gen, but it's potential sucks.

If I could start with the $ that the civic cost in 2001, then I would have a nice little R32 in my garage.

stead of all the "show" stuff like my audio, kit, rims, neons, lambos the flashy stuff i would have went straight for the k20 plus turbo then just dropped it with some nice 16's, cf hood. i like the showy type while my gf is the jdm speed sleeper type and she makes fun of me for not doing it. i should have listened. always listen to the woman uh? lol oh well i love my car and what ive done. turbo will be coming soon anway.

I had the choice to get my car right then in the summer of 2003 or wait about a couple of months and get a nicer car. The car that i really wanted back then was a GTI 1.8T. But, i just couldn't wait so I just got the 7th Gen.

I think that I should have waited and gotten a better car, i probablly would have ended up with a Type S

But i'm not just going to sit here and dwell on it because i feel bad whenever i think about it. All i know is that my next car will either be a IS300 or a Bimmer
