Yea I realised the pic didn't come up, I'll fix that. The Hatch is going to get a vtec B series, likely b18c1... its going to get koni/GC's and everything integra in terms of suspension and brakes. (I geuss engine too) Its really a daily driver/track *****.

screech

for the most part waited till somethin crapped out or some one was givin away almost to buy a replacement but so far ive spun a rod bearing (damnit kwik car didnt put enough oil back in my car....lesson learned do it yourself) got a new motor, tore a seat replaced with del sols, tires that came on it wore out new rims and tires, etc etc then there is the cheap stuff that never seems to end edm clock, block off plate etc etc it is never ending but then again i wait for good deals like my tanabe rm for $100 or altima hids $150 and no not stolen just dont go out lookin for stuff wait for it to come to you....it takes longer but its cheaper

My 94 Chevy S10 beater:



When I bought it, it was all beat up - rust, dents, blown suspension - all kinds of problems. It had a clean interior, so over the summer last year I decided to fix it up a little. Just doing it a little at a time...

I built my car to be a driver first and foremost, but honestly it gets driven rarely in the summer because I've got a bike and my beater has ice cold A/C.

Also I never park my "real" car where I cannot see it. This means it's in my home garage with a padlock on the inside of the door, or else it's in plain view of me at all times.

At work?

My car sits in an open stall in the shop right by my service desk.

At the movies or at dinner?

Doesn't happen, car stays home.

Running errands?

I plan ahead and don't take that car.

Trust me when you're done building something that you want to keep forever, you won't drive it nearly as much as you think you would.

nice car (little bastard)

Drkaccrd

thats what i'm saying its hard to resist making your beater fun.

Drkaccrd

yeah i'm having the same feeling about the suspension, its dark green still having that itch though.............

Drkaccrd

damn ..... its a complete addiction.....love for cars better than being addicted to drugs..

Drkaccrd

so which is the beater? the porche or the civic?

VWVORTEX

have a 99 sedan i've been building for the past 2 years.. so far it hsn't seen a road since.. bought a 91 civic hatch, lowered it, adr 16x7 rims, and rubbers, tow hook, and thats about it.. might swap in an extra 5speed 99 ex tranny i have laying around.. maybe goto a junkyard and get a complete d16z6 after the 91 hits 120k

it's at 87k now... perfect body

So what's your "real" car then, because it looks to me like you might be a bit confused on what this topic's about. It's about your actual beater/daily driver that you have so you don't have to drive your "real" modded car if you don't want to.

I mean I could post all about my B18C5 CX hatch, but that's not what this topic is about.

Drkaccrd

well so far only a handful has come forth, but what some of the members have come forth with so far has some sick *** beaters! Anyone else???

oh my other car is a 2002 GMC Sierra 3500 Dually. it has the 8.1L gas engine and gets 8mpg, so i can't really afford to drive it instead of the honda.

I have never modded my beater. Although it is due for some work as I am having an idle problem. The only thing different is the battery which of course should be changed since it is a:
'92 Chevy S-10 4.3L V6 (One of the best engines GM ever built )
139,500 miles

Still modding the project though...

Drkaccrd

well I guess the best way to avoid the temptation of modding anything besides your project car is to not get a honda/acura.......... well I guess i shouldnt have gotten a civic but its easy to fix and the gas mileage is good......

My DD remains mostly untouched, it is a 91 Toyota Turdcel. I changed out the cluster so that I could have a tach and put in a deck and a sub otherwise it remains stock no rims only hubcaps I waste far to much money on the Hatch to put money in the turd. I would like to ditch the tercel though and get another Honda eg hatch for a DD my toyota sucks.

hey do hate on the turdcel i had one 3 years ago ..i got good gas mileage out of it but it threw a rod.plus i had my eye on a pretty good swap for it but i have a lot of good intentions but never follow threw

james p.

I'm broke so neither my beater or my "good" car have any mods really worth mentioning

My EK has an aluminum air filter (it's an OEM extra) which did help the torque a bit. I'm keeping this bone stock.

My Sol has a rebuilt y8 with z6 peripherals. Compression has been raised a tad. I'm not spending anything for motor mods cause I have a 2 year plan for a good swap.
