I have an 88 lxi two-door. I've done some things to it, but i want some feedback on what else i should do. I have a 5" exhaust tip with a glass-pack, 14" alloys, stereo system with a 10" kicker competition sub, and that just about it.
I want to move toward doing engine stuff because it has 222K on it. surprising, but it runs so well, it blows me away. i replaced the tranny about 10K ago, it's an auto (i know it sucks). I don't have a lot of money, so doing an engine swap to a vtec isn't really what i can do.
Maybe a cold-air intake and things like that. I attached pictures so you can see it.

 

Well you can always start on suspension..

Then work your way to the engine,since you have the bailout blues.

 

I had a car like that in England when I left for America 5 years ago, but it was right-hand drive of course. Nice pics. Gil

 

Chip chip cheerio..thanks.

 

Thanks, so are you saying a lowering kit? I looked it up and really only found a 1" kit, that's about it. There isn't that many accessories for this year, so it's kind hard.

 

I was also considering tinting the tail lights, but don't you have to keep the reflectors visible? I don't know if there are any other legal regulations on that.
You can't see it in the pics, but it desperately needs a new paint job (i showed the good side). Does maaco do a good job? They have a $250 special, but i don't know the details of it. What color do you think would be the best?

 

Laws vary from state to state, i have yet to gotten pulled over for my smoked taillights...

And as for maaco,tisk tisk,ever heard the saying,you pay for what you get..

 

Sweet. I'll look into it. Thanks a bunch.
