New Guy from Atlanta

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say hello, you guys have a nice website here, I'd likely have a very lost route in my pursuit of VIP Status without it. I am a college student at GA State University and currently I am behind the wheel of a 92 Accord with a good bit of work to it. My previous rides were another 92 Accord (bone stock and great mileage haha) and my beastly 92 Prelude (made 180whp with just i/h/e and was a hell of a mtn carver). My current Accord is just a temp car that I bought to make a quick buck on, should be outta my hands in a few weeks. I have begun looking into this more grown up, relaxed scene and will likely be purchasing a LS400 soon. I will attach some pictures of my Accord to this post and a picture or two of some LS400's that I like.

Anyone got any pointers for me? Where to locate a nice set of wheels at a good price? Where to go for an air-suspension? Perhaps a cost v benefit argument for coil-overs v bags (remember I am a college student so money is tight). The car will be my daily driver and I go into downtown a lot with its potholes and horrid roads. :signdammit: Perhaps ppl would be kind enough to post up some LS4's for my inspiration haha.

See you guys around.

Don't get me wrong, I love the tuner scene, its where my heart lies..in that adrenaline rush of a highway pull or a mountain run . IMO, VIP (Styled) cars are still tuner cars. I want to progress in my life as a tuner. (Sounds corny but thats how I look at it, I did plenty of speed already, got plenty of tickets with that haha, I just want to relax and have a nice VIP car for the rest of college to go out in and lug the ladies around) Hell, I might choose an SC300 or GS300 as my VIP project solely based on the fact that I can NA-T them and have my speed game taken care of.
