Default Fresh Fish

Hey guys. I'm from Muskegon MI. Just getting into cars myself. I have a lot of friends that have been car gurus for quite some time now, and I finally decided on a car. Should have it by the end of this week. 98 EX - 97,000 miles - aftermarket wheels (will be changed) - junk intake (change this too) - subtle body kit (eventually change). Askin price is $5,500. Not bad for a blue book of $7,500. Cool thing is, I took a loan out for $12,000 in plan to buy something around $10,000 with most the work done already. But then I decided I'd rather do it myself and learn a lot about cars in the process. So I have around six grand to drop into it right away =D. My friends are having fun shopping with my money and it looks like Turbo is the first step. Well, enough ramblin....Here's a taste ( if it works )

yes, for the love of god, please take off those taillights. other than that, it looks like a nice ride. if you have that much $ to drop, i would look into a motor swap. that would be a great first step. there is alot of room to improve once that's done. good luck with your ride. welocme to the forum and keep us posted!
