First car

[trendyredneck]

Hey, i got this car a few months ago. Its my first car. Im very into educating myself amd how things work in vehicles and i was wanting to do a turbo build on it next summer. Cheap, maintains decent mileage and reliability and just make it more fun and gain some power. Her names Monica. Any tips or advice on turbo charging it? 2000 EX 4 cyl f23 5spd manual. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

There's a lot of info on the forum already about turbocharging your drivetrain, spend some time reading and you will satisfy that hunger for learning.

Car looks good!

Heck yeah. Noticed a squeak in the front end last week and did the left lower ball joint amd threw in a fresh oil change while i was under it. Runs fantastic.

Yes it was lowered by one of the previous owners. and sadly i live out of town at thw moment so i have to drive up a gravel road every day and that puts a hurtin on the paint so that saddens me but its not too bad for what it is. I try to treat her good.

Could try to find a set of mudguards or apply 3M paint defender to try and help lessen the damage.
