well give me an idea as to what blocks are the best for modding..... like i said , mitsu is new to me.

420a ok but not great......hmm ok. well im not looking to get onto the strip or nothing, just something to keep up with all the millions of hondas around.

Nice looking car. Things i would look into is first, maybe some rims. Those look kinda small on there with that drop. What kinda coilovers are on it? For the engine, its hard to really make much HP without a turbo. So you may want to look into that.

yeah i found out what i got myself into after i bought the car. (420a) In the light the wheels and tires look good. no gap at all. so im not to concerned about wheels right now. I have actually got this car up for sale now. so im gonna be lookin for something better.

car does look nice. and if you deside not to sell it. i say turbo it. there was a turbo 420a in my neighborhood awhile back had somewhere around 180whp without nitrous(it had a 50 shot i think) anyhow it was pretty quick for a gs.

2300.00 to 3200.00 for a turbo kit is a bit steep for me..........but i wish i could.
