I would sell the turbo kit.

Turbo Hondas never last more than a few months without blowing up something up.

If you're on a limited income I wouldn't risk my only car just to go a little faster.

Drive it through university then buy something faster when you graduate.

I try to avoid the classifieds at all costs. It's like a vortex of fuck.

Turn your rep on.

sell the turbo kit and just make the car look clean. get a good paint job, nice wheels and just enjoy it. Chances are that at your age you will turbo it and blow your motor anyways. You also do not need the tickets its going to cause you to get.

I vote no on the rattle can. Even a shitty 200-300 paint job looks better than rattle can. I'd honestly take the faded/chipped OEM paint over a primered ricer look-a-like.

+rep(when you turn it on) for asking a question - explaining your situation well - using mostly correct grammar and spelling. You'd be surprised how little we see from new accounts lately - especially honda owners.

If your car needs body work, then it's not a bad idea. A car all one color looks better than a car with patches.
