Still haven't seen the newest one, or the one before it. I saw the first one and said I'm done. lol

Yeah, you should at least get it chipped 
And I agree completely. Waste of a perfectly good car if you violate it
like that.
Personally, I either go sleeper or get some type of aero-kit.
My older siblings and I do a lot of autocross when we can. Once I
start tuning I'm not going to do too much. I'm going to start with
suspension (Tanabe springs with KYB shocks) and a good anti-roll
bar and strut tower bracing, then move on to performance tuning:
Custom intake (cheap, and easy), chipped ESU, Exhaust (not sure
what yet), headers and low-compression valves and other
turbo-prep tuneups, and then I might go with a small turbo.

The GTI already has a small turbo you dolt, hence why chipping has such a large effect. Stage 1 chip adds ~40hp and ~80lb/ft of torque. I'd consider an RSB to help counteract the oversteer of being FWD, but I'm not sure if I really want to go all out crazy. This is my daily driver, after all. I'm a fan of sleepers as well, I like the clean look.

Your temp plate only lasts until Tuesday? What ever happened to 30-day dealers' plates :/
So I just found out why its only 3 days. In Idaho, all you have to do is take the temp plate into the DMV, pay them $60 and they give you plates. No id, no proof of insurance, no bill of sale, no title, nothing. Hell, they didn't even ask to see my drivers license. Just hand em the pink temp slip, and get plates in return. Whole process (including standing in line) took like 15 minutes, tops. Hell, the dealer even takes care of getting the title and paying the necessary taxes. In St. Louis to *renew* my plates required proof of insurance, drivers license, 2 *other* forms of ID (social security card, passport, etc...), a copy of the title, and all this other crap. Here they don't seem to give a shit, which is awesome.

And I'm talking about my 1996 Honda Accord EX, dumbass.
I'm not going to go completely sleeper, though. Probably going to get a new paint job and clean it up quite a bit. White is what I'm looking at. Not a color you see very often on a '96 Accord, so that's why I'm considering it. First things first on my car, though. Drop the new engine in as well as my new Fidanza Two Point One clutch

I know quite a few who have gone with that solution on their GTIs

White is a good color. My old Jeep was white - loved the way it looked. Don't see many white sports cars, though (then again, the accord isn't a sports car, so....
)

Sounds like good 'ol Texas. If there weren't so many idiots in California, I'd miss it.
Texas is filled with retarded people, though. They keep assigning creationists to the Board of Education and trying to force creationism to be taught as an "alternative" to scientific theories.

Hehe, no, it's not. It's what I call a nifty-coupè )

I completely agree. But so is California, and Texas is cheaper
As for the whole creationist thing, they haven't quite done it yet.

Fixed.
Hehe nice.
Here's a pic of a white Accord SiR that someone I know had until it got jacked. Thing is SICK.
And of course the SiR has the h22 in it, so that thing is beastly
I was thinking about doing an SiR conversion on my accord, but my engine went out so I decided to just stick with my f22b1. It'll still do some damage once I boost and tune it

Yeah, to your wallet
150 hp and 150 lb/ft of torque on a car that heavy is weak.

I wouldn't call ~200hp and ~160lb/ft of torque on a car weighing 2900lbs "beastly"
