Haha yeah i guess, want for validation that a tezza is the better option ma:tearsofjoy:
One is old and the other is new. One has the option for a turbo 3SGE and another can PNP a K20 vtec engine and later a K24. Honda handling is legendary amongst the FF setup so it's not to be looked down upon also. Having said that RWD is always more fun but you'll need to get used to it, it's no fun when you are oversteering unexpectedly mid-corner.

Your first car and you want to buy an Altezza? Damn bro... you brave!

It's an old car so prepare for stuff like bushes, gaskets, oil seals and all to be changed. Unless you buy a car from a friend or owner who can provide you a full service history, it'll be a gamble buying such an old car.

Since this is your first car better you opt for something 'safe' like a Toyota Vios, Yaris, etc that comes with free services and warranty. Get a taste of what it's like to own a car and then start looking at dream cars and all.

If you still opt for a 40-60k Altezza, get a mechanic or a well informed friend to go inspect the car with you and thoroughly check it out. Avoid any car that cannot produce service history and only the owner claims this and that has been done. Also if possible avoid buying from used car lots unless it's someone you trust and know very well.

Good luck

I personally don't know the history of this specific car but check when the VVTI solenoid was replaced, the timing belts, oil pump and check for accident damage.
Izso can i contact you via whatsapp if you dont mind? Want to ask you some things

Having question, which alot people said that open pod was`t suitable on automatic transmission.
I have few numbers of friends installed open pod on their automatic myvi, vios, persona, accord, civic and 350z also having good result on performance increase.
Another weird answer from a friend with 350z roadster is better fuel consume after installing a long ram open pod + CAI with heat shield cover.

I`m currently going to do a short ram intake with heat shield cover for my 1.5l automatic...
