Decent trade 3.0
Fuck it, traded
Traded my car and two 12' subs and box I paid $175 for in high school. Another non boosted failure, but thinking boost or H2B kit later.
Ex slut:
1999 Honda Civic DX hatchback BONE STOCK
145K miles
Rear bumper had a "rip" in it
Hood had a nasty ding in it
The front passenger tire was either out of balance or needed replacing (very loud)
The tranny started showing signs of ISB failure
New whore:
1999 Honda Civic Si coupe
152K miles
This is exactly how the car looked when I brought it home. Haven't touched it yet at all, not even a cleaning.

Notice the nice shiny NEW OEM head lights

Rims are 17" Raze, not my thing at all and too big for my taste. Will be up for sale/trade ASAP. Also car is lowered on Tein springs and stock struts, so that will get changed later also.

Debating if these should come off. Theft isn't big around here, but don't want it to start with me lol

I think this can be fixed, just needs to be aligned.

Said some guy backed into it and dented this piece right under the tail light and cracked the tail light slightly.

ES oval muffler. Doesn't sound bad, not too loud and deep. Might keep it, unsure yet. If I do will probably be painted black.

Look goodies in the trunk. Undented fenders ( scratched, but at least dent free) and black housing lights.

Interior looks like it needs a good cleaning. So that should be taken care of soon.

ECU just chillin out in the floor. Cover and back is in the back seat.

Hood latch broken, but can easily pull with fingers

Didn't even bother to clean it out before he traded. A bit of trash.

Said someone tried to mold a tv into the double din slot. Did a crappy job, so I new one will be in order later.

Also broke the clips so it doesn't snap in

Crappy shifter with ghetto shift knob. Will get a good quality shifter and knob later. Also has a 96-98 lower console on it.
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi847.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fab36%2Fnacvicsi%2FEM1HID.jpg&hash=114e4a5bfda505e376bad1745f77547dd2a19833)
What's that I spy under the hood, can it it be a HID ballast?
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi847.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fab36%2Fnacvicsi%2Fdownsized_0626091953a.jpg&hash=19f8d8629aaf0b3b59042da2e3ebba5bb49e07eb)
Look at that twinkle in her eye
And last but not leas, the POS limp dick B16

Not to sound like a dick, but why did he trade? Just for the MPG and it being a hatch or what?
Seems like a solid deal
-
i'd rather have the hatch
-
the Si is worth a lot more.. just repair the BS and you can get 6500 for those if you sit on it.

People still try to get 9500+ for these around here.

What a bucket of rice.

He said he has been looking for a nice hatch and can't find one for crap around here (which I understand since I drove from North AL to the Kentucky line to get mine).
He said only thing he did to it was put in a new head unit, head lights, and HID's. My guess would be he just wanted a hatch and there is a bunch of little shit wrong with it which seems worse than it is.
What a bucket of rice.
This should make you happy; he said he was going to swap a K20 in the hatch.
-
That's more than you were doing with it.

Wow that kid is a moron

Product of being broke

My thoughts too, but I wasn't saying anything.

I have that same dent in my fender, I wonder if he smashed it with his fist too. ???
-
So tried to fix the climate control bezel a little. Turns out they cut the stock radio harness and hard wired it in. WTF, why are people so damn stupid. The adapter is $5 and doesn't look trashy as hell.
-
8)
-
Thats a solid trade doug. Go to the JY and cut the radio harness out and just solder that thing back in.
-
Yeah, I agree it's a good trade if you're looking to flip it for profit, but... that stereo wiring is only the tip of the iceberg in a bucket of rice. I get very angry when I am made to clean up after ignorance. I couldn't take that car if it was free.

Yeah...I know my CRX is a slow POS (for now), but it has not been hacked into, and was only $2000-ish. It's nice to be the first one to molest a car and be able to molest it properly without fixing other fuckups first...and I still get people inquiring to purchase it or something off it weekly (which makes me want to garage the shit)...but that was a good deal.
The guy is a moron. When I was looking for a decent 99-00 SI coupe years ago, they were still around the 10k price. I doubt it's fallen too far...
-
Sir, by purchasing this car, you are now an honorary member of Honda-Tech!
-
Funny part is I put the stock shitty 99-00 CD player back in mine, took the EX cluster and arm rest out and put the stock hatch crap back. Also took all my spare tire stuff out (since for some reason seems like every car I get never has one, this one followed suit)

Still debating on keeping it or flipping it. Thinking about throwing the fenders on, doing a semi wire tuck in the process, and seeing what I can get for it. I'm sure I could find some
one on HT to buy it for a quick $5500 or a decent trade.
Speaking of anyone have a OEM shifter and shift knob they don't want?

Oh and this is a no go. All the JY here they won't let you go look. You just have to tell them what you want. Which is stupid as I like to just browse, never know what they might have. Not to mention they won't part stuff out, they would probably make me buy the entire wiring harness.

JYs here suck. They hardly ever let you browse, they hardly ever have Hondas with anything left on them, and if they do, they rip you off.

Yeah when I was looking for a gauge cluster cover for the Slo they wanted more than a brand new one from Honda.
