ok, so i sold my laptop last night....got 450 bucks for it (paid 150 :D)
so that, along with my money i have in the bank, plus next weeks paycheck is leaving me ~6/700 bucks to play with....maybe more, depending on whether i feel it necessary to pay bills.........
so, what should i buy? i need wheels/tires...
for sure im gonna get carpet from praxis...i bought my guages, im gonna paint the dash n shit, i need new seats...anyone know where i can get new seats for my hatch, and what they'd cost?
right now im thinkin i'd like to spend the money on like, 2-3 items that are ~200 bucks each....something significant, but i dont really wanna throw it all into one thing (tho i DO need wheels...)
as much as i need wheels, i also need to lower my car....maybe new shocks and some springs/coilovers...? dunno what that'd run me really...whats some decent, but not expensive, not the best, but good shocks/coilovers? i dont mind bouncy rides.....i kinda like it actually.. ;)
maybe something cool for the interior.....basically right now, i just wanna get my car somethin new..
so, what would ya'll suggest, staying somewhat cheap, but good...
oh, dont bother with engine stuff.....its a CX.
another option would be save it towards a b18b swap...how much those runnin now-a-days anyway?

I could sell yah my seats... im getting rid of mine soon.

And im glad to see someone else who doesnt mind bouncy rides, my female friend was like "doesnt your car make you car sick" im like hell nah, its like a rollercoaster ride and I dont even have to pay admission to a theme park :finger:

hey man i would recomend lowering your car now thats what im doing i bet youl will be real happy with it if you get a good set of springs and shocks. you get looks and you can drive around corners alot faster. so that counts for 2 right

thought about it...but i have 15" wheels, and 65 height tires.......i wouldnt be able to drop it much anyway..
and right now, im gonna re-do my interior, and sell my car, and buy a different 92 hatch. its the same as mine, but has a 5th gen ZC engine w/ 40k on it, intake, catback, bunch other "mods" clear corners w/ strobes (eh.) steering wheel, short shifter w/ mugen knob, lowered on coils, painted interior (eh, i'd re-do it) throw my indiglos in it, and my taillights, it'd be happy :)

How much is it going for Dreem?

he'd sell it to me for 4k.........my friend here offered me 4-4.5 for my car a week or so ago, but i told him "nah..." but now im like 'buy buy buy!" hehe
im gonna re-do the interior for him, and see what he wants to do.,my friend gunner said he'd drive down there with me to pick it up too.

razo peddles, tach, hood pins (...?) i dont remember what else that i havent listed......but its a deal imo. hey, 135hp dohc, 'zactly what i want anyway.

where is the car that you have to go pick it up?

charlotte nc, where i had moved from about 7 months ago...

dunno now tho, my friend is saying he's not gonna buy mine....so i guess thats off, unless he'll buy it for less..

well, i took care of a big part of my car thats lacking.....
new carpet, seats from sparq's car, and i made a floor for the cargo area. (well, my dad did. my dad actually does most all my work)
148 for the carpet, 75 for the seats. then i gotta read mr. rocketeer's FAQ on interior panel painting...............that he should make...............so i can do it..........hehhehehe
ive decided navy blue interior (carpet, seats, etc.) i think it'd look dope. my indiglo's shipped today, im waitin for those.....things are coming together....slowly but surely :D
im actually becoming slightly interested in kitting my car too....something simple....wingwest bigmouth bumper....sparq, how much would one run me? you sell WW dont you? ;)

there's always the option of changing ur headlight bulbs to white or blue ones

Joking only ;) , but somehow i don't like the style of that blue car

.....im not talking about the blue car.......
that was some kids car @ nopi......the car in question is the red hatchback in the front. notice the colour on the first two pictures.

Just an FYI, but that's not a Mugen knob.

i was going by memory @ the time, i think thats what he said....but either way, im not getting it now... :/

since you have so much money.. i wouls get wheels and tires first... for me its hard to get alot of money together... so when i do get the money together by something big cuz they are the hardest things to buy (saving up money is a challenge for me!!)

well, its really not that much money....i allocated about 200 to the interior already, and i just emailed someone about a d16y8 w/ 35k on it from a '00 civic..asking 700 for it. so im gonna ask my 'rents to front me the cash for that, then ill give it to em when i get my taxes back n stuff..

he said he'd do 800 shipped! doooooope!!
only thing i have to worry about, he said someone locally is coming to look @ it tomorrow :(!
hopefully he doesnt want it........cause i REALLY need this engine...
