it's a use one though, but it's ok. Hope to see you guys on the streets. Oh yea, I been on the board and you guys alwayz talk about 'minimum' upgrades, can somebody please juz tell me real quick what they are??

 

Here are my thoughts, which are probably up for serious criticism from the brethren...

Cosmetic:
Aluminum Dead pedal
Horn [get rid of the meep meep]
Replacement door stereo speakers
Windscreen - Rick's or Honda OEM [if your car is a 1999 or 2000 they aren't stock] - actually helps wind buffeting

Performance:
Air filter [adds a few inexpensive horses]
*** you can't get much else out of the engine unless you spend $$$ ***

Must do's:
Muzmat [protects plastic rear window when folded down]

I am a believer in keeping my car mostly stock. Anything that I add or change I want to be able to replace with a stock component such that the car is like new.

Enjoy your new car and see you on the road!

Get a cross brace, there is no better bang for your buck performance modification.

Congratulations!
Best advice I've seen on the board is to sit down with a beer and the owners manual- a quick read. Muz mat is fine, but so is the Martha Stewart kmart solution to rear window scratches. If your car is a 2000MY, might also consider Mingster's windscreen.

 

thanks you guys, I think I'm going to get the X-brace, and the windscreen. My car's a 2001, so it has a stock screen, is Rick's a better choice for that??

 

With a 2001 you dont' need Rick's windscreen.

 

andy,
I have a HMC stock windscreen and have been contemplating getting Rick's anyway as it is higher and blocks wind more effectively. Lots on the main board if you want to see photos, etc.

is it Ming's or Rick's that goes with the stock windscreen?? I want one, cuz from wut I read, it blocks out more wind coming from the back. (heheh I don't enough cold air blowing back on my neck )
