Default Got myself a Early Birthday Present, new Daily driver

Well I've been driving around this 90 Dx hatchback I got a few months ago, its a pretty decent car. I put some black HX wheels on it, greddy exhaust but the fact it was an automatic just really bugged me.

http://draglab.com/misc/90hatch1.jpg

So last week we got this trade in at our dealership. I quickly eyeballed it, it was a 93 EG Hatch. It was heavily riced out, tons of stickers, fog lights, dumped on sport springs with kinda gay looking rims. I opened the hood and was a bit shocked to see a 3g Dohc OBD1 ZC swap. I was like wow, this is pretty cool.. I wonder how much they want for it? So I started talking to the sales managers and found we took it in dirt cheap! My boss said he'd let it go for 850 + tax and license, so it was around a grand after all said and done. So yesterday I spent the majority of the day "de-ricing" the car. I wish I would have took some pics of it before hand, but I just got a bit excitied I guess?.. lol





So this is what it came out like.. I painted the 17in Konig rims that it came with.



The body is fairly straight and the paint is pretty decent, obviously its a repaint and I'm not a big fan of blue but hey atleast its all the same color



I cut the H&R sport springs and turned them into H&R race springs, lol



I need to get a new set of headlights and corner lights, amber jdm style just for steve =)



Inside is pretty clean, couple white faced gauges that need to go.



Heres the rare OBD1 ZC engine, it seems pretty decent. It has a P74? or P75? LS ecu. Kinda runs like ***, but no big deal.

For 1000 bucks I'm pretty happy, I honestly couldnt pass up the deal, I know I said I was done with hondas.. which I kinda am in a way. No more dumping thosands and thosands of dollars into. But If I can get sweet deals like this, ---- I can turn around and make some money quick =)

So I already talked to lots of the NW crew and were gonna do a quicky HMT install on this biatch. Maybe 2 weeks on a Sunday. I'll letcha guys know.

Jeff

The blue is bright. Maybe some window tint will make it less shocking.
Very nice for a grand, but I still think you're boss made his lunch money off it. I'd punch him in the ear.


I love Jeff Frank driving a honda. It's just the way it should be.


*SEND THIS MAN YO PARTS*


oH, I sent Justin my stock corner lights and I'm sure he still has them. I just ordered my mad rare corners from some nignog on HT that sells them all the time. $25 shipped.

Wow, wish I could find deals like that. The blue looks kinda like the daytona blue used on 350z's. But good looking car nonetheless.
