Speaking of power and K swaps, has anyone on this site used K tuner yet?

I love BB9's
I've often considered getting an 01 'lude and just keeping it stock. (cept rims and suspension of course)

Not a fan of that, but its your car so you can paint it however you want.

Maybe if you did hood, roof and trunk lid black with the spoiler and wheels it would be better.

I was considering that, I plan on dippin it so i can try that and if I don't like it I'l peel and redo. I found a few preludes on craigslist that weren't tampered with, 99 is def the best lookin year. The ones I found were under 5k, so I'm sure if I went higher I would find more. As much as a swap sounds fun, My car ain't payed off yet so it would make more sense to put the 5 grand down toward the left over and then go from there.

Re: $500 turbo???

what could make the vic a lot fun is the suspension mods - not enough power to be dangerous, but a lotta fun on driving it. see for rear sway bars, for example. what matters is the driver, not the engine

True, but unlike the cars on fast and furious, mines only a 5 speed, not a 16 speed lolol
