Thanks for joining HAF.

Inspect everything and get all the "other" stuff up to date.

An '01 V6 tells me I want to be sure the timing belt job is up to date. Auto trans fluid should be changed.

From there, what kind of upgrades do you have in mind.....suspension, brakes, J-pipe, ect

The guy I bought it from had it serviced by Honda every couple months came with years worth of paper work, just changed oil and trans fluid, atm I'm lookin into suspension, Intake and exhaust, but Ik a good aftermarket exhaust is expensive not trying to get stuck on eBay parts
