nice lookin car...but you need rims...i'm feelin 5 spokes on your ride...that would be nice lookin in either 16's or 17's...and that engine will be pretty sweet in there too...you'd be fast as hell!!!...but what's up with the side moldings....they are black on the door and then blah on the rear quarter and front quarter? is it dirty or messed up...not bad though!...and that rust is gonna cause problems in the future...be ware of the rust!

Thanks man I appreciate the comments. As the h22a.com owner and designer, my h22a engine I have ordered will be in about 3-5 weeks and will have tons of pictures and how-to's on my site so everybody in here will know what all goes on in a 4th gen h22a swap. Also, can you give me some names of some tires you think would look good, havent looked into any much, although I need some. Also, got any pics of the jdm lights i posted on a 4th gen, I bet they would look sweet just cant find any pics of them in. Thanks for all your help.

Considering the auto belts and the black mirrors, I will guess its an LX.

Those are not the stock wheels right?

It is a LX, yes I sure do, I have the passenger side corner light, stock front bumper turn signals, door lock regulators, and a few other parts, I need some new wiper arms cant find any for under $50, im sure they gotta be cheaper. What are you interested in? And do you have any extra parts laying around for your ride?

No, the others rusted and one fell off, so I went to some cheap ones from wal-mart, so I am looking for some new rims and tires.

what year is it? 1990?

did the LX's only come with black mirrors in 90? i just picked up a 90 lx and it looks like the guy painted the mirrors. But my 91 had factory painted mirrors

Its obviously either a 90 or 91. I think the DX had black bumpers and mirrors and the LX had black mirrors. The EX/SE had painted everything.

No, the wheel covers chipped and rusted on the metal brackets to hold them in and were just P.O.S.

that did nothing to answer my question

I have a 91 lx with painted mirrors...certainly look like they were factory painted also

I think the consensus on the tires would be the Kumho Ecsta Supras.
