    Default i think im bout to take the honda leap for my DD

    here soon im looking into getting a sub 1000 civic the cheaper the better 88-91 hatch or 4 door, whatever i find. this is gonna be my DD. im not really to worried bout it running or not cause i do plan to swap the motor out for something else! dont know what yet though.......

    would you keep it a D series or go for somthing else?




    i will end up making a WTB thread when the money is in my hands to start buying shit for the car after i find one!

    I thought a "GSR" was a B18?

    If you are building a cheap car, then go with what you can get free or cheap on the engine. If a D will get you there, then run it.

    I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.

    First of all I'd like to say congratulations!

    Secondly... From personal experience... If it's going to be your DAILY DRIVER, Spend as little money on it as possible. Like the guy said above, if it gets you where you want to go, the go with that. Then take all that fabulous money that you just saved... and put it into your WEEKEND CAR! Since you plan on having two, might as well make the fun one MORE fun. Just mho.
    K-What?!?!

    yeh my thoughts exactly! from the way its looking i can possibly get all this done for under 1k if i stick with the Dseries! i dont think ill dump alot of money into this car! just enough to personalize the car....i dont really like driving bone stock cars!

    the guy was saying the GSR is a B18, i said it in a way to keep to two separate cause i do know that a GSR is differnt from a regular B18......
