Baby J got dropped...

[quickdodge®]

Ha haaaaaa, very cool. Later, QD.

[Sammich]

that joint is balla. i'd rock it all day. take those emblems off and buff em..or just buff them in place..theres some wheels i'm thinking about, but cant put my finger on it that would set this off

[Sammich]

UP for pics of the wheels (as they looked when I purchased them). When they get back from wheel wizard they will look like --->

tit

teez

[santacruz77]

i think they would look better with out bumbers..

[quickdodge®]

i think they would look better with out bumbers..

Mine may be coming off. Not sure. Later, QD.

[BABY J]

At the least I will collapse the bumper struts and do a 2 - 3 inch tuck. But I won't delete them altogether.

[Thighs]

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.

[santacruz77]

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.

[santacruz77]

tiss true.... just put a strait axle from one wheel to other and weld a chain ring on it......... like a go cart

[EJ25RUN]

paint it hot pink

[santacruz77]

thas why you make it rwd,

[BABY J]

Panas aren't that expensive...

[santacruz77]

QD when we gonna see yours at a athens meet

[Thighs]

thas why you make it rwd,

oh. well in that case it would work lol

[Thighs]

Panas aren't that expensive...

they arent that cheap either or id get em for the miata

[Fr33way]

Those wheels are micro! Very cool to see some progress on these rides. LOL @ the people pushing the same timeattacktheme/roofrack/offset/rolledfender/overthetop style on to these little cars.

[quickdodge®]

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.

LOL @ the people pushing the same timeattacktheme/roofrack/offset/rolledfender/overthetop style on to these little cars.

Exactly, lolol. I love my 12" wheels and plan on working with these. And I will add a bit of a "secret" in that I am actually putting a roof rack on mine. But this is a Honda OEM chrome luggage rack. Later, QD.

[DUBSf22c]

In good shape, yes. It took J 3 years to find this one.

Thanks for the compliments. Later, QD.

You obv have no clue. But that's okay.

[DUBSf22c]

You obv have no clue. But that's okay.

nope honestly.. but englighten me pretty please..... seriously.. why are those not good enough?>

[TRDwasiq]

my dad used to have this back in pakiland.. looking good.

[BABY J]

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. Im at work STILLLLLLL yall have to entertain me

[Total_Blender]

slam it and put rotas on it...........

Rotas or any "new school" wheel wouldn't look right IMO, that car needs wheels from the same time period like Minilites or Enkei meshes. Not to mention the Sb-1 Civics had a 4x120 bolt pattern that would require a complete front-end swap to be able to use EF calipers and rotors... and re-drilling the rear drums to 4x100 too.

QD did you get the IM I sent you on the 1st. gen civic board? I would like to borrow one of your cars to test the gauges I have.

[quickdodge®]

LOOK LIKE YALL FAIL HARD..

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.

[quickdodge®]

and re-drilling the rear drums to 4x100 too.

There's no re-drilling for the rear. Simple swap over from a DA or 88 Prelude. Heheh.

QD did you get the IM I sent you on the 1st. gen civic board? I would like to borrow one of your cars to test the gauges I have.

No I didn't. What are we talking about? Later, QD.

[Total_Blender]

** The headlights are in "test-mode" as we speak. Output is not as bright as the originals --- in fact, HI-BEAM is about what a normal aftermarket OEM replacement is on low. me to...
.

Run your stock headlight wires to trigger a relay. From the relay, you can run power directly from the battery to the headlights, using lower gauge (thicker) wire. Then they will burn a hole in the road . On old cars like the 1st. gen Civics the wiring isn't as heavy-duty as it needs to be to support higher output lighting. I had the same problem with the H4's I put in my old Jetta.

I am on board with getting all the old-school imports together. I am into old VW's but the ATL VW scene is more focused around the newer models. I'd rather hear about TE-3 Corollas, 510's and Civic 1200's than I would MkIV Jetta's and EG civics

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?

I have a CVCC Delux gauge set I'm trying to sell, I want to test it and make sure it works, by hooking it up to a car. Your CVCC or Baby J's 1200 would work, I'll buy either of you the beverage of your choice for the trouble

[santacruz77]

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

[santacruz77]

ya i know there tiny as hell..

and reps for being into old vw i want to build a turbo beetle in the future.

Straight swap.

Ahhh gotcha. When mine comes out we'll see what's up. Later, QD.

[santacruz77]

roll cage, side drafts, 13x11s, huge box flares, built suspension is whats next for it right haha

[quickdodge®]

^^^ Shiiit no! Lolol. I'm not interested in all that. Later, QD.

[SleeperWRX]

JDM as fucc

[santacruz77]
