Here is what replaced my old car. It's a 92 Civic h/b CX with a 98 GSR motor:

I like it, the pinstripe down the side is not my favorite but other than that I like the car

Yeah, I managed to get one sticker off of the rear windshield and tomorrow I'm working on taking off the pinstripe and taking off the Civic CX sticker.
I wish I could take all of you for a ride. I can't begin to explain how fun it is to drive!

Thanks man! I haven't decided what want to do w/ the exterior yet. I quit my job Wednesday, so I'm in the process of getting another one. After I find one, I'll start putting my paycheck in my car.

nice car! want to sell me your rear wiper plugs? :)

i like the vx rims. are you going to keep them silver or powdercoat them? if i was you id keep them on there because they are small and light.

Yeah Id keep the rims on there too, they look tight. You should get rid of that pintripe though, doesn't look that good. Maybe go with a very high gloss black finish on the paint, that would look sweet :)

Exactly! I'm keeping them on there. I'm trying to sell my 17" Konig Tuners that were on my old car.

I took the pinstripe off today along w/ the Civic cx decal on the back. I'm thinking about getting it painted gunmetal, some sort of dark silverish hue, but that will be the very last thing I do.

I was supposed to get it for $6500, but I was declined for my loan. I ended up getting it for $5800 minus my digital camcorder and 25" tv. I wanted it pretty bad!!! I bought it with the swap. I looked on AutoTrader.com and there were only 2 hatchbacks w/ swaps. I called both guys and they both lived pretty close in Jacksonville, FL. The 1st one I called was sold already. It was pretty sweet. It had a soft white custom paint job w/ a Charisma front end, Sparco seats, JVC head unit, carbon fiber hood, and ls/vtec swap. He was selling it for like $8500. I'm very happy w/ what I got though!!!
