Welcome to the forum!

Do you plan on building it for a clean look, or a clean look with extra power? How much money do you plan on spending on the car? Make sure to post pics when you get the car!

Thanks for the welcome. Gonna be clean on the outside CTR front and rear lip & enough power to be used on the street and local drag strip. Are you familiar with D16z6 with Vitara piston turbo build? Thats the direction i want to go with the engine build. How much money I am willing to spend. This will be a budget build with lots and lots of research before placing any major orders.

12 more days till I take ownership of my new ride. Can't make up my mind to either order a CTR front and rear lip off of eBay or another gauge cluster with tach. Any suggestions on which to order first.

Yea it is I decided to go with a new/used gauge cluster. Did the 5 inch monster tach in my prelude. Didn't want to go back down that road unless it became required.
