Early 90s Hondas are definitely good, a Prelude is even better.

This Civic is not in a position to be used for much longer. It idles really rough, its handling is suspect, many items don't work, has strange electrical problems. Basically a car that's just waiting to die...

This is exactly what I was thinking of doing. I can then just keep my winter tires on the Celica and keep the mileage low on the FR-S and baby the heck out of her. Front wheel drive is better for winter driving too. I will garage keep the FR-S (condo secured parking for now) and not worry about the Celica being left outside.

Armrest, antenna, fogs, badges, tails, oem audio +400, and theses 86 decals as center caps because I want to Plasti dip the rims.
The audio system was a lot, but I've been wanting it for 2 years, music is a huge part of my life so I was willing to take the plunge.
The only thing I regret not buying is lowering Springs :/ eventually I will tho.

It does, but I wouldn't be. It's far too overpriced.
Being a female it's practically in my genetics to spend money on frivolous superficial shit - lol just in my case it's car related and not designer bags and shoes

I saw a really cool mod that was a gtr antenna, it was basically an antenna delete since it was so flat and small. It looked really nice clean imo. And it was only 50$. Worth checking out if you ever want an alternative from a shark fin.

Here's a thread about it
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30324
I ordered from nigel JDM parts which was expensive, maybe you can hunt around and find it cheaper.
You will still have access to the lighter, there's a slot for your cable to charge.
The only cons (aside from price) is it
requires drilling
and no cup holders
-I couldn't image trying to use them with it installed. But I think there's a cup holder on the door? So I might be able to rig something for my red Bull lol
