Ok so I have a bone stock 96' dx hatch. just has omni coil overs. This kid wants to trade his 92' 4 door with an LS and rota gt3's, cf lip, cf hood and full exahust. All it really needs is some new interior. is it stupid to go from 96 to 92. i mean the car has **** on it. and my budget sucks, im poor it will take me mad long to get a motor and this one has one. and wheels, and everything else i want. good idea, or no?

 

I'd have the hatch anyday.

 

if u wanna faster car dx's are hella slow

 

i would keep the ek as well... if he had an eg hatch he was gonna trade you with the same mods as the 4 door i would be all over that

 

but hes got wheels, lip, hood, motorrrrr, all i need is the turbo and new interior,

 

my car
bad pic but has OMNI and is slammed.

his car

 

that is a clean *** 4 door i give him that... if its everything you want then do it... our opinion doesnt matter...

 

I'd keep the hatch

Thats A Clean car but it seems to have come with 2 extra doors,

Keppe your hatch, you will be better off in the long run!!

 

keep the hatch and save ur money

 

keep your hatch, less weight which you'll need in the long run. Four doors are cool with a kid but not if you want a fast car. Don't get me wrong Evo's hold their own but nothing beats a honda smoking american 5.0's with a small 2.0 or less. Keep the hatchie but do what you want it's not our choice you're the one who drives it.

 

You never know how ghetto-rigged the swap was and if it was romped on. Keep the hatch. It is a grocery getter. No need to save thousands for a swap. Leave it just like that.

 

4-Doors are pretty clean and make nice sleepers.

That one is pretty clean. If its what you want then snag that baby up.

BTW 4-doors are not much heavier then some hatches.

77 lbs. aint much, and the LS has more than enough torque to push that extra 77 pounds.

id take the 4 door, people under estimate them

You mean it's a stock *** 4 door? Jesus Christ, Timmy! It's a stock Civic lowered on Rotas: the Honda-Tech standard. That isn't clean, it's stock. And no, the lip doesn't change that.

 

keep the hatch

 

the 4dr has an ls in it... so an extra 20hp?

 

Keep your hatch
Save up the little it is and put a LS in it.

Thats just my .02

clean doesnt always mean modded to the fullest... its simple and in good shape... and he says it has an ls swap... and lowered... on rotas... im still tryin to figure out how this is still stock

 

get a better job ... save and swap the hatch

words out my mouth
take the 4 door and just boost ek is eh lol

 

i think im gonna take the 4 door. and boost it. maybe rebuild it up tho. cause i know it was beat on. but all it really needs is interior. and i dont mind that, im just gonna throw in some recaros and keep the backseats out

 

Whats in it for him? Ask yourself that question.
Kind of a lop-sided trade dont you think. Is he really willing to give up the work he's put into the 4door for a stock hatch? Smells fishy to me.

i thought you said you have a tight budget and your a broke ***, boosting, rebuilding, interior, recaros that all cost money money that 3 grand wont buy

 

yah exactly, how does this motor run, u never kno he could be shooting nitrous on it , and just not tell you, thier is a reason, he's willing to do this, I'd dig deeper and find out y. could be busted up wheel bearings to busted *** piston rings, you never know. ask too run a compression test on it , and see if he jolts. lol. also is he someone u know and trust. or do u jsut see him at a local shop[ every once in a while?
