Hatch Or Keep The Sedan??

whats up?! i just finished my b18c swap into my 89 4dr about 2weeks ago. the body is kind of decent, but still beat up a bit. the car had 189xxx when i bought it. now this guy i know, has a 90 std hatch in excellent condition. no rust no dents no nothing. the paint is still glossy and shiny. it has around 95xxx on it, and i can probably get it for cheap. do you guys think i should get the hatch and swap my b18c into that, or keep the sedan the way it is? ALSO... i had a custom harness made for the b18c to plug right into my 89 dx,would it be the same if i got the 90 hatch, or is there a difference between the two?

dude go with the Hatch!!!...the sedan is cool, but the hatch is better, I've driven both cars with B series engines, and the hatch's allways tend to feel a little better to me. They feel a little quicker, but that is just me.

i was thinking the same, cause i had a hatch with the same engine and it did feel quicker for some reason. What do you guys think about the VELOX VX8 WHEELS on ebay. the hatch is red, do you think those wheels in 16" gunmetal with the polished lip would look good?

yeah they are cool....

I say keep the sedan dude. Go sleeper and save some money by just stayin with it. Put the money ,that you were going to buy the hatch with, into the sedan in aftermarket parts and all. I like the hatch body more and it does offer more parts and all but i like the sleper life. Go 4G4D!

The hatch will slowly grow on you until you have to have it. Thats what happened to me. But now I own 2 4th gens.......but the crx is for sale :(

Hatch !! Hatch !! Hatch !! Woot Woot !!!

4G4D's are more fun. Plus, sealed trunk makes for better sound too. Hatch would be more open air, harder to get good hitting bass.

man who gives a shit about base !!! I'm in it for the thrill of victory!!!! I dont need a system dragging my shit down!!!! HATCH HATCH !!! get the HATCH !!!! it's QUICKER!!!!! you said it yourself !!!

I agree totally. I just started driving my car on the road and i cranked up the volume for a good song and the bass was hitting hard as hell. And with stock speakers too, and theyre blown totally. I would keep the sedan. But its up to you man and what your taste is like.

I disagree about the whole bass in a sedan hitting harder. 4 doors tend to rattle much worse than any hatch, and with the trunk space in a hatch being small and it reverberation off the hatch, i think it would sound much better.

gotta go with the hatch man, hatchies are way better then sedans and crx's IMO, plus how often do you think you will come across a deal like that? my :2cents:- buy the hatch swap the motors. run the B18 in the hatch.

But you gotta think about it, most low bass is felt and not heard. And I dont know what kind of 4G4D you've been in, but the person did a horrible job of imaging the speakers in the car. The way i've got it set up, I can almost pass for half a single 10' sub in the trunk. And its not ghetto with the trunk rattling or anything either. If any system is built right, the trunk rattling wont happen as often.

yep 4g4d power
keep it make it a sleeper,
mmmmmm turbo!!!!

Yeah go sleeper all the way. Thats what I say. But like I said earlier its your choice and if u just stay with it youll save money and have more to spend on the engine.

I think I need some help on this one....SEDAN!!!!!! Sedans are pimp, theyre great sleepers, and theres somethin bout the body...mmmm. Take that money you were goin to use for the hatch and put that into some bodywork, and a paintjob, make it look decent, and then turbo that thing man, get it goin!!!

I've gota say hatch on this one man... give the old sedan a break. It's all about wut you like better tho... your car, your opinion.

Keep the Sedan...

Hatch. Drive the tiny std with a decent motor and good suspension.

And they're so cute. :p

well, the reason i got the sedan in the first place, was cause everyone around has a hatch. i know of three kids around my way that has a hatch with a swap,plus my friend just picked one up yesterday and is planning on doing a swap. one has a b16 the other have ls swaps. so i figured i'd go with the sedan and blow them all away. i dont really want to spend money on bodywork, id rather use the money for parts. but then again...i dont know. its that light blue color, i wanted to paint it black or maybe white. leave the engine bay and the interior color the stock blue,less money to spend. after all it aint no show car.!!

plus.. what do you guys think of the 16" gunmetal velox vx8 wheels on ebay?? yes or no??

My vote is for hatch, better bass with a custom fiberglass sub enclosure, no rattles, and a tight sound outside the car, plus it seems to pull a little harder.

There you go, sounds like you got it figured out...keep that sedan man. You gotta represent the 4g4d! Besides, theres nothing like pullin up on a sedan with your swapped hatch, and gettin your ass handed to you by the grocery-getter!!! Thats tight man...keep us posted

The problem with older Hondas like ours is that the motors are good for longer than the bodys are. So if your sedan is already rusty its going to be really bad in 4 or 5 years. Even if you get it fixed, they're never the same.. I hate rust.

I hate rust.

and I hate you.

what do you guys think, velox vx8 gunmetal w/polished lip, 99-00 si wheels, or gsr wheels?? plus anyone know a good camber kit that i can get? should i get ingalls? what do you guys have?

can i say hatch i cant stand 4 doors they never do look as good to me just my opinion you really shouldnt ask anyone its all on you man

****@@@ You will do as I say @@@****
****@@@ You will get the Hatch!!@@@****

Hatch!!! Hatch !!!

Just kidding man, Id really preffer the hatch because the suspension will feel alot better on a hatch than a sedan, they are better suited for that. The sedan was intended to be a family car!!!
But it's really your choice!!!!!

SeDaN

i know its my choice, i just wanted to hear other peoples opinions

and I hate you.

:wtf:
