Hi this is my 89 hatch. i used to live in the states now i live in costarica . all my life ive had hondas and acuras this would be like my 7th ,so i had to get me a hatch here too since i love them. the car is pretty much stock not too much done to it just intake, digital tach with shift light, orange corners, tint, k-9 alarm, tune up, overhauld engine, rims, and a muffler . im going to drop the car very soon the thing is i have the coilovers but i lack of tools and the streets here are very very bad theres alot of huge pot holes ( i already bent one of my rims a lil bit from a damn pot hole) but i need to drop it so as soon as i get some tools i will install the coils, strut bar , and short throw witch i have in my room just waiting. im also going to remove all the a/c system, hids, new seats, new ball joints, energy bushings,headers , 2.5 exhaust , new tails, change the injection and put a vtec head, im going to show you some pictures of it to see wat u guys think, thanks alot . more pics coming soon

Nice platform to start with
Really clean hatch definitely looks like its ready to climb mountains though
Get some smaller rims on there and drop that ****

agreed on the nice platform to start with, however, it's sitting like a 4x4, and needs wayy smaller rims than those

Nice hatch. I would change the side moldings so they match each other though.

Hi, thank you everybody from the good feed back i really appreciate it. basically here in CR the import scene is everywhere you go there is a "auto decoracion" everywhere you go witch is stores that sell basically parts and accs from ebay and do tint and alarms and that kind of stuff. but here its eather you have a civic or a sentra lol but there is also bad *** cars like wrxs, 350s, vipers and stuff like that so people have money here lol. i live in the city witch would be sanjose and yeah the streets do suck big time but theres nothing i can do just watch out when i drive, but im going to go ahead and take pictures of the meets and everything so i can show u guys how we do it down here thanks for everything more pics with updates coming soon
