Default My 90 Accord

Hey Im a new member here and I need help deciding on a few things. First off Im 17 and my first car is a 1990 Honda Accord my dad bought for me. Now I'm wondering whether I should keep this and possibly change it up (ex. body kit, rims, interior, engine stuff etc). Instead I had planned on buying a Suburban in about 1 year but the way gas prices are I think I might wait a bit longer.

Right now I've built my sound system and my dad bought a nice magnaflow exhaust. SO should I keep this and continue to mod it? I think I might buy some rims for it by the end of this month (just in time for school).

ALso what are some of your suggestions for me to do to this? Im pretty much a do it yourself kinda guy so I love working on the car at home. So any diy suggestions would be cool to.

If I do decide to keep this I want it to look really really good and has to have some vroom

Keep it, it'll grow on you. Mine has. I could care less what happens to my dakota outside. I think the last time i drove it was maybe 2 months ago. Actually i don't think ANYONE has driven it for over a month.

Pshaa, have a 90 with 211k and the motor is as strong as ever...other than that little air filter/IAC issue I posted about .

Suspension + h22 = win

wtf was honda thinking with that? What a pain...had to drill out one of the bolts when I changed mine since the last person to change the rotors was nice enough to round off the head.
