hey there

Whereabouts are you located. For lowering, only whiteline as a choice, the rest are nowhere near as good

Pete...you need to get your eyes checked he said how low can you go

not who to go to

legally your car has to be 10 cm or higher off the ground...although many people's cars aren't legal

my front bumper is about 8 or 9 cm of the ground...

hey Spunky, do you have any troubles going over speed humps or say pot holes?

do you have to drive your car sideways to get over em? or do you drive normally?

sorry for the question, just worried... and i dont even have a car yet. haha.

Howdy!

As mentioned, the lowest part of your car (usually muffler) must be the thickness of a telephone book off the ground (that's what they use to test when defecting). When lowering a lot, check for turns to lock and remember to get revalved shocks or your car will rest on it's bump stops. Get professionally coiled springs too, unless you want to bounce pimp-daddy style all over the road.

12g for a 93 Prelude is extremely good value. Most would be pushing it to find an Integra GSi 93 model in good condition for that much.

GL with the car.

sideways

pot holes - avoid

what's normal driving

avoid certain places...ie..don't park in shopping centre car parks that have ramps, etc....places I know that have big speed humps...

half the time..if you scrape the bumper..it ends up being a flatish driveway..that you understimated lol...

ahehehehe, sideways?
thats horrible
i hate seeing people drive their cars sideways


what other hondas can i get for around 10g -15g?

or any other models? cause im dying for one but its giving me a headache just looking at the trading post every week.
i sit there for like hours trying to figure out which one to buy, and when i decide and call the seller up, its already sold.

And at other times, you see for example a 97 prelude, the new shape ones for like 16 grand!

i called em up and went to their place straight away, and i end up seeing some damaged car that has just been fix. looks perfect from the outside, but when you look at the engine bay you can see the damage done before.

I hate it most when you ask them if its been in an accident, and they lie to you and say it hasnt when you can perfectly see the damage

bloody assholes
=/

well, all my stress is out. hehehe
hope you injoy

Got a Japanese spec '90 VTEC Civic you can have for 12 grand

Otherwise, a nice EG Si Civic or a EF CRX would be in that bracket wit ha bit of change.

Personally, I like the '88-90 Prelude with 4WS over any other 'lude

thats because the old insurer cancelled my policy without me knowing because of a bungle up by their customer service in regards to a payment.

atleast my car moves a bit better now....

and I don't make people brake half way through 1st gear, if I've been revving at the lights
