What up STL hondas!

Well, i know its been a few weeks since i posted anything here, but i just wanted to let everybody in on what im going to be doing the next few months if plans go well.

Well, today, I just put some money down on a 94 Accord EX 4dr 5sp Dark green with 134k miles. I got the car for $2000 which is a steel! Clean carfax! I will be buying the car in feburary once the guy buys his brand new Civic. Here is what i have in mind for it and what it needs:

-The hood is badly oxidized, so im going to get a carbon fiber OEM style for it
-Suspension could use upgrades, so im probably going to lower the car an inch of so
-Regular detail-steam clean the interior, wax and touch up the exterior as well as detail the engine bay
-needs a new headlight housing (one has been replaced and one is pretty hazy)
-after a while, get a nice header and exhaust.
-Car needs a thermostat-how hard are they to install and how much do they run?
-Car has one rust spot-i will probably get that cut out and fixed in a few months.

Also, i am also building plans for my motor swap from my 92 prelude SI (h22A) into my 88 prelude 4ws. I went to speedway last weekend and got a B20A5 wiring harness ready to ship to Ryrwire. Now I just need to buy the motor mounts (AZ motorsports) and the Axles (Gator) and I will be ready to rock this swap.

Also, with these plans, i am also going to be selling my 06 RSX-S (20k miles, perfect condition). If any of are interested or know somebody, please let me know!

Its going to be a good year!
