Thinking about alternate car............

I was thinking about getting another car just to play with. Don't get me wrong, the "S" will stay right where it is. But I want a car to experiment with. And I wan't something that has plenty of aftermarket mods avaible. I guess I just love my CL too much. I have a custom CAI and mufflers already, and headers, springs, and sways are on the way. I want something that won't break my heart if I mess it up. I was definately sticking with honda, but trying to keep the price under 25 grand. I am considering the 2001 2-dr Accord, or maybe the prelude. I also would like to play around with a civic SI. But the whole purpose of my writing is to get opinions. All are welcome. Thanks

There's also the 'tegs... tons of aftermarket there. Personally, I'd go with a Civic. They're cheaper to start off with and there's plenty of stuff available for them.

I wouldnt mind having a Civic SI, or Prelude to mess with.

Gobs of inexpensive aftermarket parts.

The aftermarket for the CL-S is too rich for my blood.

Either an Accord or a Civic if you want to stay in the Honda family. More aftermarket for those two!!!!

I thought about getting a Civic just for the hell of it and tuning it up, but decided I would wait for a while and enjoy my CL-S a while

Make a hybrid. There is nothing quite like them. I had both a gsr/civic and a ITR civic and both of them would blow the doors off the CL-s. They are fast as hell, very sporty and have a HUGE aftermarket.
Also a lot of people are selling their hybrids now too, you can usually find an awesome deal for under $12k.
All your questions about them can be anwsered here. http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/index.html

Exactly, just something to f*ck around with on the weekends, or when I'm not pimpin' the CL-S. In fact I'm leaving now to go test drive some. Oh, and another ques., are the Si's hard to get?

Depends what Si you mean. The 92-95 civic Si hatchback. You can find used for about $5000-$7000 depending on condition and they are getting harder to find. And the New Civic Si coupe isn't hard to find at all. There are always at least 3 forsale in the paper. Ranging from $17k-$19k. If you want a really fun car get a used CRX Si. You can find those for under $3000. And drop in a b16 engine and you will be in the low 14's, high 13 for under $6000.
