Geez...sounds like you hate your car. Sounds like you should buy a new car if you dislike it so much. I'm sure there are more than just that one prelude for sale in the world.

If you like the Accord, and are set on improving it, go for it. You can make it handle well with $1-1.5K.

I'm suprised tires weren't brought up earlier in this thread. Some sticky rubber will make a big difference in how the car handles the corners.

Good luck and welcome.
