    Question I'm being begged to trade my car for..

    A friend of mine who sold me my LS mesh want to trade me for his EF sedan.

    Its Element beige slammed on coilovers on black enkeis with SiR bumpers/trim

    It has a semi built LS with CAI 4-2-1 header and catback, full MSD ignition, and a 75 shot of spray. It is so damn fast that I can't even believe it lol.

    His car is cleaner than mine, has half the mileage, but doesnt have PS or A/C, and I live in TX where its over 100 for weeks on end. I dont know what to do, this is real tough for me. My car won't pass inspection either so that is making me lean toward the trade. I need some insight guys, and sorry, no pics(wish I did this car is beautiful)

    Do the trade.... sound like its a steal... u can always drive fast with the window down and throw water in your face.. its like a poor man A/C plus gas mileage don't suffer!

    but i would get your car to pass emission as thats a fair thing to do for your friends. don't they sell a bottle that guarantee a pass if you just pour it in your tank and let the engine run for awhile??

    He needs a DD with PS and A/C cause he's building a turbo bseries civic right now. He can get it passed without it actually passing lol, he knows those kinda guys.

    only thing I can say is "Do what you feel is right" it's your ride and only you can be happy with what you do.
    But if it was me I'd keep the 3G. A faster car is gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble (speeding tickets)

    Cool Re: I'm being begged to trade my car for..

    I say keep the hatch. I would never buy a car that has been modified by someone else... unless it was by a legit shop.


    Plus, think about how many civic's you see cruising around everyday, and think of how few clean ass 3g hatches you see every day. Now it may just be me, but I like standing out from all the other honda scene kids!
