This is my EM1 Turbo build so far to date My Build (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?117552-EM1-Turbo-Build-B16TYM)

I am about to get my tax return. I will have just over $1000 to blow on my car. What should I do next my options are.


Recaro SR3's in Red or Black
Seibon Carbon Fibre Bonnet
Save more and get some 16x7 rims
Buy a whole bunch of little JDM parts...headlights, gearknob, pedals,HIDs ect.

Wheels make or brake a car. A good set of wheels will be the most satisfying thing you will prob ever do to a car imo

Also if you do get seats, get black!! will look so much better than red. imo

Ok its neck and neck between Recaros and rims..

Im looking at set of Red SR4's tonight aswell as a set of White Enkei RP01 so depending its really 50/50 at the moment.

I reckon go for wheels man. As said by others, it will be the biggest visual upgrade for your car and nothings better than some new shoes :D

That being said, a nice pair of recaro's would be dope.

So yes, my above post achieved nothing haha :P

....I voted wheels. DO IT!

I'd go Recaros - one day when you sell the car you know there's always going to be a market for these seats among tuners.

So if you keep them in good knick and put your stock seats back in when you sell... who knows you might get 70% of your money back... or maybe more :) Think long term IMO

I'll Go for the Recaros, you'll love it every time you sit in your car, i would .. :)

Then just save for some nice ROTA's !!

something like these would be fantastic (a guy was selling these from his beemer) and they look absolutely mint for second hand :)

Thats a fair call Mike. But I have long term plans for this car. And if the right wheels come up for the right price im not going to not take them based on color. or the colour of my car for that matter. I have always planned on painting my car EBP its just a matter of time. So Red recaros, white wheels It doesn't bother once the car is blue it will look sweet!!
