93 Honda Hatch.: (

Since I was young I have loved cars for my whole life. I got my first car when I was 15,which was a 92 Nissan 240sx with a KA. About a month later I swapped it with a Sr20det. I sold that when I was 16.
Then I got a 92 Hatch

I traded that for a 240sx
I don't want to post pictures of it.
Then I traded the SR20det from the 240sx for a 90 Q45
I sold the Q45 to my brother where I can buy this hatch.

you might want to look into what it takes to register a RHD car before you try to get one. Why RHD anyway? Do you think its cool to not be able to pass cars easily and get hassled by cops?

I have 3 Choices here.


1) Get a 94 EG6 Sir RHD hatch for 1800 shipped.





2) I can trade my Q45 and the 240sx for a Db8, Clean 4 door with 90k miles. And then just try to sale it for money to build this car.

3)Sale the Q45 and the 240sx and put the money into this hatch.


So I am only 16, I think I am going to just trade both cars for the 4 door and rock it as a DD and try to sale it at the same time to build this hatch up.

sorry, this really has been bugging me, call me the grammer (sp?) police or whatever, but sell, is spelled S E L L.... not SALE


edit.. civic looks decent, but not worth buying a rhd swap for.. seems pointless

God 16 year olds need to leave. Cutting your springs is an awful idea..and when people tell you its an awful idea, you dont flame them. You nod your little head, and accept the fact that you shouldnt do stupid things.

How are you fixing the rust?

I am only riding with cut springs for like a week or so until I get my coilovers. I know it is going to ride ****ty but I just want to have some fun right now, so I am just going to cut my springs and ride with them for a week.


Please go easy on the kid. He has some problems, if you know what I mean.

No you didnt do anything wrong man. Your friend Tyler just needs to chill out. You mentioned cutting the springs. Why not just wait until you can get some coilovers? Its safer, and the ride with cut springs is just awful and a laughing matter.

I don't know, I just want to have some fun right now. Once I get the coilovers I am getting all new Strut Bars EC EC EC. So really if I do **** up anything I am going to be replacing it anyway.

Not really a good way to mod a car, or a good attitude. But everybody is young once. Have fun.

But I have two question's here.


1) Can you fit EK side skirts on a EG?

2) Can I put a D16 Head on my D15?


Also I am looking into Coilovers and I have some question.

I am looking into these right here.
http://www.motorweb.com/SS--Super-St...VVviewprod.htm

But my question is, why can the rear go lower then the front?

I want at least a 3'' drop. Any one know any coilovers I should look into?
