buy a German car, great handling on all brands

my 87 gt-s has a cog thats low and dead center, handles lovely on my eibachs and gr2's. might get adjustable konis for the front though.

i dont like domestics and i dont like german
civics are cheap out here, i got my old hatch for $1200 after parts and paper work it was like $1800(cdn) with 160k and mint interior
id get something newer but i like the obd1 and double wish bone suspension plus i got all the parts
this time around im getting an SI for the bigger brakes z6 engine and sunroof
im still trying to decide weather to get a coupe or hb so all in put is appreciated

Personally I think coupes handle better because of the momentum throwing the back end around turns.

Not honda rims at all. they are some type of an aftermarket rim made in Australia apparently. Thoes are honda center caps that fit right in.

If anyone knows what rim that is please come forward. I want to get another set just becaue I love them so much.

Yes. therefore its harder to drive but much more rewarding when you can keep it under control 8)

I rather have over steer than under steer. Wouldnt you?

i love my hatch over a coupe or sedan. then again i have a 91 hatch and not a 95 but have driven both before. i find the eg's to be a bit heavy feeling to them other than my hatch. the coupes though for some reason feel like a boat to me. :-\ dunno why, but i like hatches better anyways. ---- when i drive my TA i look at my hatch and im like damn! why does my hatch seem faster and more agile around corners, when the TA is like a ------ sports car compared to my hatch and seems slower and has like a shitload of body roll :S

even before i got the front sway bar it was doing it (this time around im throwing in a fat rear one hope it helps)

I've owned and drove both and I feel the coupe has a much better feel in the corners.
