They are Panasport replicas. But Watanabe and another company are also known for that style of wheel.

God had other plans for the white beast lol

I might have it start driving it again actually. The wifes' Saturn transmission went out and she needs a new car. If we really can't afford it I'm afraid the subuaru will go to her and I'll be daily'n my hatch again until the funds are there.

Plus she wants to go to school

Why not just replace her tranny? I think by now you've got the mechanical aptitude to do it.

Well besides the tranny her head gasket is going out. And I work with some techs who use to work for Saturn and they it's not worth it to fix the car. They said saturns pretty much don't last past 150xxx miles and hers has 156xxx right now. That among some coolant issues as well

when? I went Sunday and they added 4 more DA integras, had an 08 Civic coupe with black interior... seats still in perfect condition (minus airbags gone off)…even had the suspension components (briefly thought about a 5 lug, very briefly) couple more 88-91 sedans, whole slew of accords with a couple wagons, legend, etc.

His exact words to me were "they don't have anything". I know he was lookin for ef sedan stuff so I'm not sure. I was also hoping to ****** an ls header from there...

I just bought my 15th Honda and 5th EF! It's a 1989 Civic hatchback with a blown headgasket. I'm not sure what the exact color is, yet, but it's a light blue DX, 5 speed. As soon as I get home I'll get some pictures and post them up. Let me know if there are any parts you want/need.
