Hey im new to these forums, but i've been checking them out for a few weeks now. I and proud to say i am the owner of 1 of 3 Completely stock civics in the World....LOL. I have a stock 1988 Red Honda Civic DX Hatch...almost 200k miles on it; but its in such good contdition it doesnt look like it has 100k on it. You see, my grandmother bought it brand new and she said i could have it since she had no use for it. I couldnt take it for free, so i asked for a price and she said $100. So i got a great deal on a car that i know hasn't been ragged-out.
In 15 years old and i live in the small town of dunlap, tennessee. I dont plan to make it real fast, maybe a few minor engine mods ( way too many muscle cars around here to be trying to be fast.) Im not dissing anyone who makes their civic fast, more power to them, but its not for me...
I plan to make it for Db Drags.... Definetely not with the current stereo....it sounds like the radios did before tvs were invented.... Im going to make it a show car too, well hopefully. Widebody, flaky red paint, chrome 17s or 18s. I know alot of people shun this type of tuning, but i just dont have the money to make a civic competitive.
I love my car, especially the gas milage...but i dont have to tell you guys about that...
I hope to post here often so i just wanted to say hi! also if you disagree with my plans or dislike me or whatever, tell me in a friendly way...i dont want to get off to a bad start...

ok i got a question, why did another one of my posts get closed....its in the street racing part.....its pretty funny tho.....
also i know this has probably been asked like eleventythree times, so it should probably be posted on the FAQ post, but wheels.....whats the biggest i can get and still turn? keep in mind im doing this purely for looks, not performance. I would like 18's but i heard id have to get really stiff springs so it wouldnt rub, and i want a little ride quality, so.... well thatnks in advance.
