It maybe not worth the price for you but there are some of us that will think otherwise.

fi-dolla for a knock sensor
another fi-dolla for a coil
Would rather save for a house and wedding. The $5-10k I could put into a car I would rather pocket and put towards my next car so that I can get a better car.
One of these days I will *finally* run into a Honda/Acura that can show me its tail lights and then I guess I will have to break down and get an Intake and y-pipe.

If you go my route resale is impossible. Seeing as it would cost almost $2K to return to stock. This would include MAF, Ehaust, springs, removing tint, etc. I will definitely keep the Max until it decides to completely ****. I'm hoping this is at least 70K away. Want it to get me through college. I wish I could post a spreadsheat. I have every repair, service, and mod on record since it was delivered on 6/30/1994 with 12 miles. Mod Total = $3,735.66 This will go up signigicantly over the next month because of Sound instal UDP, and SS Brakelines, and Red LED everything.

Only way I would see getting some money back is parting out, but some dont do that from what ive been seeing here.
