holy sheeitt dude, that is one of the cleanest stock hatchies ive ever seen.

this was a real spur of the moment buy, but i'm really happy i did. My future plans are the same as my plans i had for my coupe. BOOST! the really nice thing about this one is that its so clean and i dont have to do any work but what i want to upgrade. First thing thats gonna happen is its gonna get lowered. If i dont have wheels before its lowered, then im gonna roll stock steelies. My choice of wheels will be either the kosei k1's
http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/12/web/372000-372999/372215_33.jpg

or the volk TE 37's
http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/12/web/372000-372999/372215_34.jpg

i dont wanna hear anybody asking if i realize those are 5 lug wheels because they make them in 4 lugs as well.

a question i have is, has anybody tried putting an 88-89 front bumper on a hatch? I HATE the front bumper.

Very nice ride. Its one of the cleanest 3g's i've seen, and I like the paint too.

My wet dream is that exact car with a blown motor.

Nice car, I wouldn't go with white wheels, but thats just me.

NXRacer
02-13-2004, 11:26 AM
they are white wheels, but they're volks, so that makes it OK..... :D

Sweet deal Caleb. May I formally welcome you to the hatch owner's club. Good to see you joining us with that CLEAN hatch.

As for the front bumper, Goldy did the conversion on his hatch. It's a very easy conversion, but good luck if you do decide to do it, b/c matching that paint will be a royal pain in the ass. Personally, I like that style bumper just as much as the 88-89. If it's the clear lights you're worried about, worry no more, I've got that covered.

...that's a real, OEM, clear lens, not home-made.

FINALLY i get welcomed into the club.... :D

its not the clear lights im looking for, its the general styling of it. Its more open so it'll show off my IC better... ;)

The paint is in perfect condition so it might not be too hard to get the paint to match if i get OEM paint, but thats something i'll deffinately have to think about.

your so lucky man thats a hella nice car, the lighting outside really brings the car to life, and all your interior lights work too, jesus your lucky, wanna be my friend?

damn thats sounds like my car, 2nd owner, low miles, always garaged and with the factory tape player. When I went to get a CD player installed the guy though I was joking when I said it still had the factory tape player in it. So how old were the people you bought it from?

I saw a black hatch with the lovers on it, it looked so stealthy. It was an older guy driving down my road (most likely lost since I live out in the woods) I should have stopped the guy. I never saw that car again, but it did have Oregon plates, but it was in perfect shape. This was about 9 months ago I still remember it like it was yesturday. :)

Man that car looks almost new! Great find

goldyaccord
03-24-2004, 12:11 PM
yup! nice hatchy! the conversion... you just get the bumper and bumper support. no cuts no modding just a straight swap. yeah, I did it becuase I wanted the cleaner look of the lights and the bumper was just fatter more agressive.

neoblue89lxi
03-24-2004, 02:30 PM
All you need to do is paint the valve cover, JDM corners, and a blue armrest. That car is beautiful to look at. Great deal, I wouldn't beable to live with myself if I let that slip through my fingers.

NXRacer
03-24-2004, 02:53 PM
i got some good plans for it. JDM corners would be nice but they're hard as hell to find and spendy as a mofo. Im looking for an armrest, but it seems that when one comes around for sale i dont have any money. The valve cover is getting painted this weekend hopefully.

i.c.
03-24-2004, 03:18 PM
not the best chop...but i think you get the idea

kinda a fast one... the rim angle was kinda off so i had to hollow out the inside

NXRacer
03-24-2004, 04:15 PM
nice. i'll have to get a better picture in better light and find a good wheel picture. Then i can get a good chop of it.

If you're up for it, what will it look like dumped on stock wheels?
