nice clean hatch.

custom wheels = asking to be lowered.....:D

capoA20A3

10-03-2003, 03:01 PM

it for sure needs to be lowered... need to save the cheese first! :D but eventually its gonna happen, I can't stand to see my hatch looking more like a SUV, instead of the high performance machine it actually is....... I mean the high performance machine it will be :D

looks sweet, how much Did that bad boy cost? needs tint quick! hehehe, is it me or does it look dented in the front on the hood? Does the AC work???

capoA20A3

10-03-2003, 04:59 PM

there is a small dent in the hood..... and honestly that, cosmeticly speaking, is the only thing wrong with the car... the guy who owned the car before me said the car was backed into, why he never got it fixed is still got me screaming WTF!! It definetly needs tint, a lowering job, and the car is dying to get out of those pinstripes!! I picked this guy up for a mere 1100 if you can believe it, and no the AC don't work... the guy who owned it before me said it has been converted to 134 and has a leak somewhere. He claims when the system has been freshly charged you can hear the coolant 'pissing' out. Anyhow, with that said, it shouldn't be too dificult to find the leak I hope... other than that everything else works like a dream, the car is extremely clean and I'm extremely happy!! :D :D :D

10-03-2003, 05:15 PM

wow, 1100 bucks, woo doggy. How does it run? does it leak or burn oil???? I wonder how much I can sell mine for, hmmm......

capoA20A3

10-03-2003, 05:44 PM

runs like brand new.... I mean, I've owned it for bout 3 months now and, changed the oil once since I've gotten it, doesn't burn oil as of yet...hehe. umm.... dunno what else to tell you, I'm completely satisfied with the car... really responsive, clean all 'round except for the hood dent... needs some minor tlc but will be in tip top shape soon

PogiLXI

10-03-2003, 06:07 PM

capoA20A3

10-03-2003, 06:21 PM

you know what... money is tight and times are hard right now.... I need a job for times like these!! I think I'm gonna hold off on the center console/tape holder/cup holder... I might catch up with you later on it though

10-07-2003, 02:31 PM

yeah i already know about the oil engine, i'm not this stupid lol
it's just the first time i see the *pgm-fi*. Here they are not like this.

10-07-2003, 03:36 PM

that light was on in my car but my uncle said hes been driving it like that for a while and the car is really taken care of, he a service manager at a dealership. Better not completly fuck up right after i buy it lol it'll cost more to fix than i paid for the car.
p.s. I have an 87 lxi hatch too, mined manual though haha

awesome car but what size rims are those? look a lil small, maybe thats jus cuz you need to drop your car though

capoA20A3

10-07-2003, 04:26 PM

yeah I have massive wheel gap there.... the car is in dire need of lowering....the rims are 16" which I don't think will look to bad once i get it lowered

markmdz89hatch

10-07-2003, 06:11 PM

love the hatch. love the wheels. Love the car all together. I really wanna hear what Jim (a mod here) thinks about this car. The Charcoal hatch was not a very common color, and he had one before someone decided to re-arrange his entire front end.

Keep the pics coming bro, welcome to the board.

If you have any air tools, they make a special eraser that fits on a grinder. it takes any sticker off and it wipes clean.

Damn man i love your hatch!! That looks so clean and the rims gave it the look!!!!!

Looks reall good, I almost like the pinstriping. How come you don't have a plate on that?

BTW, I don't think a Bump was nessaray 7 hours after the last post.

Yeah, I agree with Hostile on this one. This pinstripes don't look half-bad. I'm almost beginning to like them a little.

didn't have a plate on it at the time because I had just bought the car.... it has a plate on it now and is on the road... I dunno about the pinstriping, does anyone know the scoop on that p[articular style of pinstriping, I mean did it come stock like that? What do you guys think?

Mostly all pinstriping on all cars is a dealer option, meaning the dealer has it done prior to it's sale. It's not a factory "Honda" option. There's a chevy dealer up near my house that's notorious for large, tacky, gaudy, off-beat pinstriping or "body graphics" on Cavaliers, and a Kia dealer that adds rims and stereo to their cars. Just dealer preference.

I could be wrong though, so don't quote me on that.

you're right, i used to work for an acura dealership here on long island an the pinstriping is def the dealers option...it was ridiculous, like an extra $260 for some bozo to do a 15 min pinstrip job on a CL....

bless...:D
