Re: Best Honda show/race car?

depends...how much money are you working with?

If you're on a lower budget, get a civic. I know, everyone has em, but if you buy the right parts and go for the right custom look u'll stand out above a lot of em.

If ya wanna spend a lil more money, get an accord. I like the 94-97 generation, but i've seen newer ones look way awesome. Get a nice kit, nice system, and you'll be a show stopper. Not to mention some performance mods to outrun some kids on the track (especially if you get the V6, then you'll really be kickin).

I don't think you'd be able to afford an NSX, but the S2000 is still rated as one of the best sports cars made, ever (in it's price range). S2000...i think the name says it all.

Do you any intention to make the car faster than stock or do you just want it to look fast?

By the way, NOS is an acronym.

I'd like it to be fast, but also have the looks.

Instead of a shitic or Accord, why not go with a Prelude Vtec? It has power and it's a Honda, so parts for it are everywhere.

Re: Best Honda show/race car?

i don't think the prelude is a good show car...best car IMO would be a 4 door accord...then in the future do a h22a swap

Re: Best Honda show/race car?

Well there is not alot of prelude in shows so i think it will do good but dont go custome that got old go JDM try to get as much things from japan as you can like pumper poles and folding mirrors that gives you mad points in the show. The custome is geting very old. One thing about the prelude it that there are very little parts for it. I know I have one.
