Noob, but not to Honda or tuning: '93
My name is Hoai and I live in Sacramento, CA. Me and my fiance, Tanya, just "right-sized" from a '07 Toyota FJ cruiser, to a '93 Acura Vigor GS, regal plum.
Bought Vigor for $2, 500, w\ 200k miles, bad oxidation, but well-aged for the most part. Still very quite and good fit and finish. Motor, tranny, suspension, seems still very strong.
So we ditched the car payment and put into mod's on the Vig. So far, I have re-painted the car to orig. luster, added performance module, Weapon-R Dragon ram intake, carbon fiber exhaust muffler, Nitto Neo Gen 225/45/R17 tires, 17 "in Konig Further alloy wheels, new Pioneer 6X9's, new slotted roters, with Kevlver brake pads, caliper paint, chrome grille kit. JDM headlight set from Japan with SilverStar bulbs.
Tint and new 2way alarm in process. Car was solid to begin with, but now is on a WHOLE 'Nutha LEVeL'! :woohoo:
Drive and looks exotic. Rare car to begin with, but with my our mods, we are very happy with it. Even more than we ever did with our $ 25k Cruiser.
Love the Honda quality and engineering foundation to build my car.
New pics later today. Looking forward to meeting like-minded peeps. Hit us up.
toodles,
Tom & Tanya
