Default will i just be wasting my money?

i have a 92 accord, 2 door, black, and with 95k miles. its about that sad time... when things are breaking, suspention things.. so i say, its time for KYB AGXs, eibachs (the 1" drop), polyurethane bushings (the OEM ones are going), some C/V joints (leaking), as well as the ball joints (might as well go all out). as far as doing all this goes.. i have an auto shop at school, and we have done axels on other cars.. so we are feeling ballsy.
what it comes down to.. is a 11 year old car worth this, if it helps you any.. its bone stock, and my second run down the quarter i got a 16.9, no rust.. and its a 5-speed!
and where should i waste my money? any good stores online?
you guys are the best... please dont make too much fun of my time....

Nobody will make fun of you, don't worry, but all i can say is that the money you spend on the car....save it up and buy a new used car. Seriously, I don't think its worth it if your car is "breaking" down. If you just want to fix the suspension, don't waste your money on the AGX's and the Eibachs...just get something cheaper, like OEM parts to fix the problem.

Moral of this Post: Save up money and buy a new used car.

Word. Just save your money, and keep it stock. Keep it well-maintenanced and save your money up until you can get a newer car, a cooler car, etc. etc. (like the 94-97 Accords ,j/p all you others). Good luck.

Get some KYB AGX and Eibach Prokit. And fix the other stuff that needs to be fixed. Other then that save your money.

do you like that car? do you like how that car looks modified? would you rather have something else?
ask yourself those questions.. moving on, a 92 with that milage is great considering i have a 93 LX which i bought about 6 months ago it now has 161xxx on the odom.... i have chose to sell my accord and go back to my roots (first car) a civic... there are things about the car i cannot stand..
all in all, do whats best for you. sorry for the long post..

Its really up to you man. The 4th gen (90-93) accord is a great car. I have one myself. a 90 to be exact with 163,xxx miles on her, and some tasteful mods... Intake, Exhaust, Springs, JDM lights, Rims, Red/Clears...etc. OR you can just fix what needs to be fixed and drive it as a beater, or turn it into a real killer.

4th Gen Accords :rockon: . If you are keeping her for awhile, mod away. You'll get plenty more than 95k out of her. Man I loved my 92 Accord.
