Are you currently happy with your Honda?
For the first time in a long time, I can honestly say that I am. She's fun to drive and hauls ass once more. Here is the current list of parts I have thrown at it in the past 2 months for my quest of automotive bliss (in no particular order):
plugs (2 sets)
wires
cap/rotor
02 sensors
ignitor
B&M FPR
Walbro fuel pump
main relay
JG Edelbrock TB
all new valvcover studs/nuts
Labor/fab work/free stuff:
removed nasty/moldy carpet, painted inside gloss black...looks awesome
new valvecover breather tube/fabrication
MAP sensor blockoff plate for TB
cleaning, cleaning, cleaning
reorginization of most stereo wiring
misc. paint work here and there
new drivers seat, gauge cluster hood
rewire of VAFC and AF gauge installed by previous owner
I'm sure I have missed some odds and ends here and there. Still have a few projects that have been moved to the front burner, but overall, I am estatic with the way the car runs. Must get her tuned after I figure out what to do with the exhaust/cat.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
