those cars would look great with panasports... if you got some money. lol
ive always wanted to put GOOD suspension on one of those and track it.
that will look better but maybe would look nice in the front if they were completly gone but had two of the little things sticking out like folks do on old beetle after bumber is removed...
by the way I vote for busa swap!! ;)
haha a busa swap would be sick, but its not NEARLY as easy as it sounds. unless you know how to make your own diff.Quote:

There actually not any more expensive as most wheels you buy for your newer cars. When on Ebay, you can easily pick some up about $800/set.Quote:

For your 1st one... read the powertrain section. 2, it's an Ohio car --- take those front fenders off and be prepared for the grot (rust) from the salt.
Your second one --- LOL ---- has 28 k "original" miles right? But has a BRAND NEW NOS (Honda) carb. Funny --- why would a 28,000 mile (that's a NEW car) need a new carb?? I'll just stop there on that example.
Your 3rd example is not a 1st gen.
PS: I am not saying that you can't find these cars... but chances are if you find it on the web you are being taken for a ride. I found a GA car, no rust under the fenders... etc. That's why you take your time. I also took over 5 years to get my 73 Datsun 510 coupe. When it's a classic car, you're taking your chances. Not saying u can't get lucky, but the odds are highly not in your favor of getting a fair deal.
CANT AGREE MORE but i was just being a asshat.:crazy: Im at work STILLLLLLL yall have to entertain meQuote:

Not really when you take into consideration the overall condition for the money and factors in that. No fail at all. Trust me, good things DO come to those who wait and don't necessarily jump on the first thing they see in the first 15 minutes. Later, QD.Quote:

I had the same problem with the H4's I put in my old Jetta.:cheers:Quote:

Don't you have to machine a bushing or sleeve of some sort for the different sized wheel bearings? Or did someone find a way around that?Quote:

Yeah, that guy is on the 1st gen Civic forum. He's been trying to sell that thing for a while. If I had $$$$$ I'd be all over it. The 600's are much smaller in person than they look in photos :yes:Quote:
