    Looks good! Nice rims. I see you have been doing some research from the site. Is it lowered?

    It is lowered, when i bought the car is had the suspension on it. I would like to do a full coil over setup though, but hell can't beat the setup that is on it for only paying $300.00 for the car, and this is where my love started. Oh and if you can't see the pictures this my Myspace URL (www.myspace.com/ozzysc0443) so go there to look if you can't see them here.

    No I don't have the weapon intake my wife took from me to put on her car, she use that saying on me, since we are married whats mine is hers and whats hers is hers, I hate that.
    Also yes to MessyHonda question i had to make room for the intake so i move the battery to the back.

    Not a bad car dude for 300 bucks. What did you have to fix on it when you got it?

    The only thing that I had to fix was the exhaust cause the idiot that had it before me, had a crotch rocket exhaust jammed in ass and it sounding like a angry weed whacker. That was it.

    Thanks for the comment PICO and it is nice to be apart of a group that is actually helpful and rims CUBERT, you are going to believe this but i only paid $40.00 for them. My buddy had a 95 civic with those rims and it caught on fire and i ask him how much he wanted for them he said $40 and i handed the money to him on the spot.

    welcome to the board. great looking base you have to start from. Yep, I'm jealous too about those wheels at that price. ...and for 300 for the whole car, that's a steal. I still can't find anything here for less then like $600 for a rusted out bucket with a blown tranny or shot carb.

    edit: ...and is that a DC header I see on there too? if so, that's worth more then you paid for the whole car.

    Seems to be a good buy for $300US i guess. Specially if it came with the header.

    Thats because I am not selling my car. If I were, you'd find yourself a 3gee in need of tires, but it also has new suspension, brakes, hoses, radiator, clutch, flywheel,axles,shifter bushings,engine mounts oil seals(cam,crank(both),oil pump), all belts, reman rack and pinion with new tie rod ends, and rear disk swap for $1500-2000.


    Great car to start off with! $300 sure does sound nice.

    It's really hard to let go of these cars. I thought of selling mine, but after a good drive I just couldn't.

    yeah i have thought about it also. but everytime i buy a new part or a mod to make it better.. i always think.. why? why would i see this? lol so i came to a conclusion, buy another car and keep the 3gee!
    one day I'll return.

    so true...
    I've entertained the thought of selling also, but after all the time and $$$ spent on the car I just cant bring myself to do it.
    I'm even thinking of selling my Legend and start looking for another 3G for a stock daily driver
