whats up all. just joined today, and im already in love with the site.

i have an 89 Coupe DX that I've had since i got my license. the first few years i had it, i just heated the springs and threw a muffler on it and a stereo.
then last year, i blew my motor, so i got a 90 4dr, and got into the honda tuning and shit. i put an h22 in it and had some other stuff done to it.

now thats gone and i have since brought back my 3gee. got another motor for it (same motor), and decided to do the bodywork and i changed it from white to black. it still is in gloss primer now, but will be getting real paint in the spring.

i never got into modding my 3gee because it was so hard to find shit for it, which is the very reason i instantly fell in love with this site. right now im looking for ideas on appearance and suspension and such. the motor will eventually be a turbo GSR, but who knows when that will happen.

for now im lookin for ideas and to share my own knowledge when i can. money IS an object, labor is not, and resources usually arent. and also, like i mentioned...i mostly just know the mechanical aspect of cars right now, but im looking to get into the rest of it with my 3gee.

also, im in NH, so anyone from New England, theres one more 3gee member here.

:welcome: YES another coupe......I was about to call this a 3G hatchie site. I like the body it looks real clean. Not a big fan of the wheels, but they look good on it.
Just remeber... Coupes rule, Hatchies drool, and 4 doors are for mothers..........:wave:

haha yeah i noticed alot of hatchies too. im not particularly a big fan, but i wont say they cant look good. ive seen some real nice ones on here. and 4drs just arent for me. i had a 90 4dr, and it was just too big and heavy.
im not a big fan of the rims either, but like i said, i just took them off my dads jetta for a few months while he's away because it DEFINITELY beats the steelies, haha. im most likely gonna end up with a set of civic si wheels, teggy ls meshies, or rota gt3's. i just dont have the money for anything yet...got alot of debt to take care of, as well as a new project im starting at the same time. 500hp V8 Nissan 300zx :rockon: but this is and always will be my first car, and most reliable daily driver i will ever own, so it's gotta be nice, lol

and i did alot of body work to make it look that clean. you cant really tell from the pic, but i still have quite a bit more to do, but whats left is all like inside the fenders and trunk and shit. i think im going to start getting into fiberglass for my rust fixes. anyone else know about fiberglassing?

i also usually HATE 4 spoke rims, but i must say, i dont think they look particularly bad on my car for the time being. nothing to keep long term, but pretty good for free and short term.
