I was browsing on ebay looking for a 5thgen coupe and came across this one. It looks pretty clean, but look closer. I swear that from the front view, the car looks like it is melted! I mean not really, but look how the car is bent!

The rear of the car is so high! I can't believe something like that is driveable! And you know what someone will buy that thing and think noithing of it. The right front has about 1.5" wheel gap, and the rear has like 6" or 8" GEEZ. What happened to that civic! Just thought i would share.

 

Oh man, that's gold, thanks for the laugh. I don't know which part is my favorite:

That's the GOOD news?!?!?!?



The one clear corner, one amber corner look is VASTLY underrated. "Melted" was a good descritpion by the way.

 

How is that good news? hahahahaha

Damn beat me to it LoL

 

NO WAIT! let me correct myself, the front right has negative one (-1") inch wheel GAP!!!! OMG, read the description, he rates the car as being in EXCELLENT shape, looks like an elephant sat on the hood! Should the back be sitting that high?

 

Great minds think alike!

 

WTF? What the hell has happened to that thing?

 

Pretty nice, I like the 5-lug conversion! Nothing like snap on hubcaps featuring the chrome 5-lug pattern (available at your local Pep Boys, aisle 3, next to the Altezza tails, and plastic intercoolers)

 

Hitting the switches for you.

 

Looks to me like it has lowering springs installed backwards, front and rear springs in the wrong place.

 

Maybe his car is just "dialed-in" so the car is flat when a driver gets in....

Or it's the new "Drag-Pak" Civic....

better areodynamics that way... j/k
well this way when your loading your trunk with bodies it will ride correctly, except for the slant from right to left

 

UGH, looks like someone got their springs backwards or it was hit from behind and dangerously cambered or something

 

That isn't a DX....if it is it doesn't have the stock engine......



Notice the trottle body position!!! swapped intake manifold to say the least.

oh the plastic intercoolers...

 

damn... looks like it's was totalled... and damn... it's so ghetto body work...
i'll pay $100 for that...

 

Maybe those bolts got seized in the rear so he couldn't put the rear springs in.

 

It's so the 22"x10" drag wheels can fit on the back. Dude has a rear wheel drive conversion. **** looks fast as hell.

 

yea it is the stock engine and intake manifold, thats how the 92-95 civic were they arent like the 96+ dx with vertical draft, all 92-95 have side draft intake, also maybe he put the lowering springs on the front and broke the heads off the bolts in the back and didn't fell like going through the trouble of drilling and pressing the bushing.

 

nice car for $3,750

 

That car is screwed!

 

RIMES? <--eBay....sweet spelling

 

That's way higher than stock height in the back. Those can't be stock springs in there. It's magic I tell ya! MAGIC!

 

Nah,i know.Those rear springs are actually drag launching springs!!
