I don't know whats going on but it just seems like there aren't many hatchbacks around now-a-days I can pretty much name almost everybody who has one here on this board. Lets see, Myself, Gynauob(sorry if I misspelled that), Bitesize, 88 accord hatchback, Hondaman 87, Honda Vtec, Vinny, Marks89hatch (or something like that) Ivanbi, 88accordturbo,NX Racer, Sorry if I missed any noobs or anybody else, but does anyone know if hatch backs were limited in production or not??

I see them around once in a while. I see sedans the most. Then hatchbacks, then coupes. I just saw a hatchie for sale yesterday.

I don't see very many hatchbacks either. It's probably because coupe's own.

And you should post more often :tongue: I don't see you around much.

I dont really see hatches but then again I don't particulary care for stock hatches so I don't look for them.

I didn't at first but now I'm starting to like them. I was the same way with the 96-00 civic hatches. At first I hated them but now since my friend is selling his for $250 I am starting to like them quite a bit. If this actually does go through I'll be selling my reliable 4dr accord once I finish the repairing the body damage on this 97 hatch I'll be looking at.

I mean in general. I've only seen about 3 here in town other than mine and the are all bone stock. Sedans I see a ton of and coupes but not too many hatches. Kind of seems like they were shorter in production.

i've got a hatch and i've only seen one other regularly here at jmu and then another one around my home town. in my home town there are alot of sedans and at jmu i've noticed a number of coupes. i don't know if they were limited production or not but your right in the fact that you don't see many of them or atleast i don't

Count me out of that one. I havent owned a hatch since December and to be honest don't miss it at all. I'm down to just a coupe and sedan now

Did you sell it? I was looking to buy some parts off you.

Sold it in December. Not quite sure what the relevance is between selling the car and you wanting to buy parts though

Well I wasn't sure if you sold it or not, just thought I remember reading a thread about you selling some parts for it. Do you have any spare parts laying around??

I still have my hatch, well what's left of it anyway. It's still good as a parts car. And I love that pic of Vinny's Hatch, that chip out of the front bumper looks so familiar it eery.

I know man I've been really busy with work, school, the coupe, the wrecked sedan, blah blah blah...

i've seen like 3 maybe 4 around here, including the one in the JY. actually i just got passed by one coming back from the doctor's office. it was the light blue and it was an LX maybe an LX-i, didn't get a good look at the badge. an old dude with the culdesac white hair and old people sunglasses was driving it. man he had that left arm propped in the window though. the best part was that it had a 2 1/4 in. exhaust on it. i laughed when i saw that, and it sounded like it was running well. dude was moveing it too. hehe, old man ricer.

Are you parting it out?? If so I could use drivers and passenger side axles, and set of taillights.

I thought they were fairly rare, then I saw a white 89 identical to mine near work! That's okay, hatchies are the best looking 3 gen'ers anyway.
