Default first mod for the hatch installed!

I thought this would be a good thing to have as my project progresses. I bought a APEXi Rev/Speed meter w/ GsensOr Ordered it from Inlinefour.com

For those who didn't see my first post about the recent purchase of my 92 cx hatch, heres a pic of her when she arrived from Florida



I have gutted the interior completely since then to prep it for some new paint.



and a week since her arrival her first mod came in the mail and I installed it today, i ghetto rigged it since i still don't know where to put it

i wish i could buy a car and have it delivered to me. Even though its a 1992 Civic CX hatchback and not some high priced performance/luxury car, I would still feel like a ******* pimp if I got it dropped off at my doorstep on top of a car carrier Good luck with the project...and yeah, what color are you painting it (you should paint it black )

I felt like a pimp for a couple seconds then realized it was a 92 civic hatch haha, but thats ok it'll be an awesome g-ride soon I work at Mailboxes Etc so it got delivered there since theres a lot of windy roads by my house, I also got a good shipping price

I'm not set on a color yet, I've had a black car before and I hated washing it haha too hard to keep clean. Off the top of my head I'm thinking Championship White, Silverstone Metallic.....actually i really don't know hahaha, if anyones got suggestions let me know.

If I had enough to get my car re-painted, I'd get it painted a nice deep shade of green.

Championship white is beyond played out. Maybe a nice green, or a dark/wine red like the red that came on EG 4door EX's. What about blue? I have always liked Harvard Blue (stock color on 92-95 Civics)...

I think I should be excited about my car.

Yeah I think so, my interior is also all black except for the ceiling and the pillars.

Depending on how much a whole respray will cost me, I might just repaint the outside the same color red since its fading in some areas. This guy I know has ties with some guy in a paint shop so if I get a good deal I rather paint the whole car including interior.

Anyone have pics of a silver thats a little darker than the s2000 silver? But still really metallic....

As far as the color i think you should get a silver color... it's true... CW is played out, but if thats what you want go for it... either way im sure it will still look good

I dont really want to call it the 'import scene' but its basically non-existant in my neck of the woods so nothing is played out in my region haha, besides altezzas ofcourse.

I'm glad it isn't my daily tho, atleast till the swap, 70 bhp sucks lol
