I'm guessing, at a minimum, 25hp right there.

Same thing happened with my Prelude. I had a 95 Prelude Special Edition, only year they made it, rare options, colors, etc. Was in MINT condition. Guy that bought it had a mental disorder, but had cash for the asking price so I sold it. Tracked the Carfax, was sold again soon after that and I lost track of it. Saw it a couple months ago going down the highway in town driven by a high-school looking kid, lowered way too low, with a nasty farter exhaust, side-skirts removed, nasty tails, and stickers EVERYWHERE.
I've learned to just let it be. If you sell it, as long as you get your cash you should just let it go. It is sad to see people with such bad taste though lol And sidenote, what is the deal with the stick-on fender vents lately? It seems like people are putting them on all kinds of cars, and they look AWFUL -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

Those "vents" are so terribly pointless and ugly... why why why................... I just dont get it, why not just stick on a sign that says "I really don't know how to mod a car properly"? Those "vents" and 3 spoke rims are EVERYWHERE here in chicago... it hurts my head to see people doing the same thing as everyone else! When I was getting my flexpipe fixed the other day, there were 2 cars parked in my field of vision that had those 3 spoke rims and fender vents... and at least 2 more drove by... |

THANK GOD someone else in Chicago shares my view. I was beginning to think oems are gonna start offering the vents as a package lol
Honestly its getting ridiculous, especially when i see the vents on cars that have rust! Why would you spend money on plastichrome vents when your car is being held together by its sun-faded paint?. I wish i had a picture of the cavalier thats always parked at the taco bell by my house. he used plasti-chrome fender vents (the large ones for trucks) as brake vents.  not only that, they're backwards. LOL...i always find myself tempted to talk to these ppl to see what their like. --------------------  |

Stuff like this happens all the time around where I live. Lots of people putting Impalas and Monty Carlos on like 22's. The other day I actually saw a Lincoln Town Car dropped all the way to the ground. It had maybe a 1.5 inch clearance with the road. Some people will never learn. |
