Hey, I've been reading/searching over the forum for a few days now and it seems to be a very nice community. A few days ago I bought a 1999 black Solara SLE V6 (was deciding on a Solara or a 2 door Accord..the 1999-2002? bodystyle). I'd take some pictures but it's nothing special now, all stock...plus I don't have a digital camera..(hmm...birthday coming up...). Unfortunatly it is an automatic :cry: due to the fact I had a hard time finding a manual and another family member who might need to use the vehicle in "an emergency situation" neither has the knowledge or the willpower to learn stick. bah. oh well, in a few more years we'll see. kind of a shame though because I love manual, I just feel you have more control. anyways.... It is still a very nice car and i just see myself doing a few modifications that i'll probably ask about after some research on my own. As for performance ones, i'm thinking suspension & exhast (any other recomendations?), but we will see. I don't want to do too much, since I'd get better performance in a manual, but just a few things here and there that aren't engine related. I'm not intrested in being the fastest car on the block. Just a nice quick car for driving around town and burning the occasional riced out civic 8)

Anyway, hello! and glad to be a new member and all. :D

Welcome! start with Eibach/Tokico suspension upgrade first. Then look for the Greddy Evo, Apex World Sport or JIC Bullet catbacks...then look for the S/C then possibly larger rims. :D

Here's my car for your references:

welcome to the boards! great car...sounds nice! there's currently a deal on the tokico struts as well as the eibach or vogtland springs if you're interested in upgrading your suspension. good luck and happy modding!
