how about this.... save your money. do it. save it for..... 6 more months. and after that get yourself a better car with a better engine and lower miles. its so much eisier than getting a weak car and making it AS fast as another car. id say save up a little bit more and get a nicer car... maybe a... 2000 civic si or integra gsr or mitsubishi eclipse OR, you can save some mre and get even a better car such as an rsx-s or something up there. but thats my opinion. i regret not saving up and not getting an s2000 lol
