I picked these wheels up yesterday:


They came with this car:


It's a 96 DX. I have no car payments now!!!! Woohoo!!!!! I got it 2 weeks to the day from when I wrecked. I have plans - but now you all can tell me what you would do with it. Here are pics of the wreck:

And here are a few more pics of my new hatch. Also, the first pic was my rental:

start from the ground up,....
throw Tien's or Zeals on it first!!!!!
then maybe a set of Willwoods all around,
then, wheel / tire combo...
then dump the power plant in it.

 

 

congratulations on your purchase, what did you pay if you dont mind... my 96cx looked just like that except no hubcaps.
This is how mine looks now.....5-6k later...


getting my motor next month

 

nice, my hatch was once just like yours except i didnt get hubcaps either.
now its like this.....hmmm, so much more to do.
id start with the suspension as was stated earlier as well. then work towards powerplant or exterior. whatever comes as more of a necessity to you.

 

When I put my C8's on today I took off the hubcaps and there where the basic honda wheels under there. 13". I payed $7k for it. More than I wanted to pay, but dealerships are liek that. My butt hole was as red as my car when I left. I went in thinking it was going to be $6k and they charged me a lot more. It wasn't like I didn't fight tho. All in all I'm glad I bought it. I drove it 400 miles home from where I bought it in AZ. It drove great. And everything is super clean. I almost have everything to get it to where I was with my HX. Except power nothing. I wanted red because that's what I had before and liked it, but tonyx, yours and a few others on the site made me positive that was the color I wanted. I'll try not to copy you too much So far I love this car much more than my coupe - and I liked that one a lot.

yah roma red looks good, sometimes i wish my car was still roma red. but ooooh well. damn $7k huh?
good luck with it

 

how much did u pay for ur ride?? and whats the milage?

 

he said $7k

 

dont worry about what you paid, dealers are like that. I got lucky and bought mine private party for 5k.

Dont worry about copying me.....my car looks just like Trey's (other red ek).

I actually have some bronze c8s too (with aziens for autox/track). Once you lower you car they are gonna rub like **** in the back, I have to shave my fenderwells.

I knew I was going to get a motor, but I decided to make the car handle and stop first, so that I wouldnt get myself into too much trouble with the stock brakes etc

 

Wow, so you have 5-6k in it without a new motor? I really do want to be just like you Well, it seems there is a sweet red hatch in most parts of the US, so I'll just have to represent NM.
