    I`m keeping my car! now what? lol

    Made the decision today. It`s final. I`m keeping her. She`s irreplaceable.


    Ok so lets discuss the paint...

    I am thinking of going Crystal Serum Light...still have two unopened bottles and 1 unopened exov2.

    maybe even cslx2 and exo x4

    let`s just get crazy, lol

    BUT if there`s a better coating that I can actually buy, I`m up for discussions.

    Now the fun stuff:

    on the table are these ideas....
    1.heads/cam + torque convertor + slicks
    2. 125 shot nos +torque convertor + slicks + $ for "whoopsie i broke that" mods
    3. all suspension: shocks/brakes/springs + slicks (lol)
    4. cam + nos + torque convertor + slicks
    5. nothing- haha.like that`s even an option
    im looking for 11.99 or lower

    saving funds to "professionalize" my garage too

    I`ld do #2 if that`s what your looking for -12 sec run but also make sure you got brakes to handle the extra power. Also will the block handle the nos without pitting, I`ve heard in past that this could happen with out proper work atleast with civics it was

    Re: I`m keeping my car! now what? lol

    I pass on the NOS. Stock engines can only take it for so long. I had an HKS boost management system on a car with a full exhaust and after about 10k -15k the car was no longer reliable. I am somewhat to blame as I really over enjoyed the boost and ran it on hi always.

    Speed is addicting but after pushing the car more than driving it I made it someone else`s problem. I have been a stock guy, buy em how fast you want me since then.

    I personally would do the full suspension and possibly exhaust.

    I know you saw my forum post on Coatings and the next one I`m going to try is nanolex or IGL. .
