You wouldn't believe how much money some of these Honda guys put in their cars.

Lol, well if I bought your car I'd have to sell my monte, and then I'd still only have 1 nice car that would get damaged at school.

Because the pictures look like an ebay intake, not a real intake.

And he claims slotted rotors, which you can buy stupid cheap on ebay, so there is a 95% chance that he actually did

So I have the car and everything works on it for the most part.. The ride isn't as bad as I thought it would be.. Speed bumps can be an adventure at times :P.. Shifting is a nice Change since te monte is auto. All the car needs is some spark plugs cause the engine misses sometimes which the guy had already told me.. It's definitely a fun little car, and has some pick up and go, it has hp in the 145 area I'm guessing and for a car that weighs 2000 lbs that's quite a bit.
