I actually like the color. It's a love or hate color i've noticed. As far as mods go it has a B18B swap with the normal IHE. It's lowered on skunk2 springs with tokico blues, for whatever reason it has a stage 3 clutch that was fun for my first 5spd car.

Plans i do have is to do the interior, It's a little bit rough looking so ill redo that more than likely all black and replace the del sol seats with gsr seats or something similar. I have no idea where i want to go engine wise, I've considered ls vtec but dont think i want to go that way. I've considered H series cause im most familiar with the engine, cause thats the only swap for 5th gen accords. I've considered K series but that requires lots of money

Turbo Ls > Ls Vtec for the price your going to pay you would probably have more fun with boost. I was looking into both when I had my LS Crx but went with neither because I got rid of the car for my EG ;) Honda-tech has two threads regarding both and I liked the numbers that the ls turbo's produced. I like the gold color as well but the person that did the care before I got it did a horrible job. Looks like it was rolled on =/

I've seen that done before its like super cheap. if you finish it right it will come out decent but not worth it. This car was hideous before the previous owner painted it. I'll have to post some pics of whats left of the old paint.
The guy i bought the car from has the turbo kit for the car but at the time i didnt have the extra 600 but after tax returns i would. but i really think im going to swap a H possibly a F20b just cause of the rarity of it and its similar to an h22. if i get enough from basic training a K series may be in order. just depends.

Yeah I am thinking just boosting my stock z6 and drive that for a while then potentially build a new motor on the side. I have seen the good rolled on paint jobs but this one is horrible, its really wavy and there are runs everywhere. It was originally red so thats what I am going to go back to so the engine bay and door jams match. When it gets a little warmer I will post some pics.
