So I bought this for $200:

It didnt have any front brakes, rear brakes were shot, no motor, dismantled interior and bad wheel bearings. The previous owner screwed up wiring, sprayed the engine bay and oversprayed onto the fenders, hood, bumper and pillars, the trunk and rear bumper dont match and the drivers side door has primer on it. I swapped in some 97 ex brakes (alot bigger), fixed the rear brakes and 1 bad rear beaing, threw on a stock exhaust, dropped in a d16y7 and I'm commuting to school with it. As she sits:

Planning on bringing the hatch back to life?
Coupe is a good beater. Glad to see you got another Honda so fast.
Pix make the back of the coupe look lower, but I'm guessing it's just a strange picture.
Are those some 14 in OEM optional civic wheels?

Are Honda's easy to steal or something?

I always like them, just never saw them on a slammed civic before.
My hatch got broken into this week...guess it's finally time for a security system.
And yes. Hondas are too damn easy to steal.

So why is it that Honda's are so easy to steal? I've always wondered this because I keep hearing over and over about how Honda-Tech is a sespool of auto theft.

i think its because the parts can be "pedalled" quickly. you can strip a civic/integra and put the parts on another civic/integra or sell them at a very fast rate

this car kbb'd for $2500 and I have $1200 into it including 2 clutches, 2 transmissions and the coilovers and i opted for full coverage...this is pretty much as far im going with this car, maybe a lip and some mudflaps, but if anyone decides they need a 94 civic dx with a rebuilt title and a primered door more than I do...they should just kill themselves.

What mudflaps did you put on the back of your hatch?
Coupe or 4dr ones? I have the coupe ones, but it looks like they don't fit as well a yours did even when I modified the mounting holes a bit.
Or did Honda actually make hatch ones that I just can't seem to find...

hatch and 2dr/4dr mudflaps are completely different

So you found some hatch designed ones?
Damn. I can't find them.
Oh well. I modified the coupe ones, and they look decent I think.
I've gotta do the other side, and see how they both look installed.

You might think it adds character but your tires will think differently.

camber isn't the #1 cause of uneven wear. its toe angle.

Haha! That's great.
I've put about 15k miles on my civic w/no camber adjustment, and barely uneven worn tires... That is with them overinflated most of the time to maximize mpg. If you have skinny tires, and decent toe adjustment, all is good!

Danronian. Fyi, you can go to the honda dealer and order a set of hatch mudflaps. A friend of mine got them for her b/f for x-mas and said they were under 60 for all 4. That is what ill be doing.
