    never add a non OEM style spoiler, many people even hate the VR4 spoiler like i have as its not their style. keep up with basic stuff first, one of the best upgrades to do early on is the 5 speed swap, its like a new car, that is if you can drive stick

    You and Warren should get together sometime you have no idea how much in common you two are

    Just wait until the snow melts and plan out your mods beforehand.

    honestly save up some money then decide what you want to do, 5 speed swap with mostly new parts cost lets see around 900 bucks

    ^ I agree. Just wait until the snow melts and see how many build threads pop up. People like working in warmer weather.

    Start off slow... Little details here and there so you learn about the car. That's how i'm doing mine. Make sure you look through all of the build threads while you wait for the snow to melt, then formulate your plan

    That is a fairly clean body make it a dependable sleeper. Put that $ you were planning on putting in the body to the mechanical, suspension and brakes. I am sure their jaws will drop just as far.

    stock body they arent the most appealing, but with some JDM parts they are very nice on the eyes.
