here is a few pics

 

i think you got a lot of work on your hands but other then that it looks fine...!!!

 

Looks like another NO TECH post asking us if you should buy the hideous car you have pics of.
Please read the forum rules.

 

hideous? whats wrong with the car? i think its gotta lot of potential... and i think i did the right think by trading my riced out automatic Del Sol for this EF9 Hatch

i got to adjust the coilovers its way too low for me it bounces bad

 

i agree. its got potential. but this isn't the right place to post it.
and i was just about to mention its sexy low!

 

yeah my fault people im kinda new and i appologize for posting before i read the rules!!

 

rice cake.. ibtl.. ofcourse, id rather have a riced out manual trans ed6* than a riced out automatic delsol lol.. but since youre new and all, its not an ef9..

 

Just hang yourself now, you dont deserve to drive a car...

 

man some of ya'll are just plain mean dang..... well i dont know much about honda's so the guy i got it from told me it was an EF9 so its an ED6? ..... what makes the car rice? the inside? i plan on getting black vinyl dye and redoin what was done blue and im tryin to de-rice the car

 

Honda-tech is a mean place, just get used to it. But here is the question of the year, a riced out manual or a tasteful automatic?

 

x2 well stated

 

Well on a postive note, I think you got yourself a great car to bring back in to good shape.It's really hard,(more like not going to happen) to find an ol'sckool in good shape anyway. So just give her the right love and she'll give it back to you.Don't let the haters stop you, were all here with the same purpose to inform and help, maybe we should just do that lil more.

 

It may be riced out now, but if your gonna change it up.. good luck with your project... keep it at that ride height, with some rims, it'll look nice.

 

thanks.... but really what makes this car rice? its all stock besides the motor swap which i think is a good swap for the car and there's no rust no body damnage just a few scratches here and there but thats no problem really... does no one like the steelies? i like the steelies instead of some aftermarket rims i wanna go JDM all the way or at least try and i know for saying that im gonna get laughed at or something ...... here is a photo of the del sol i traded for this car

 

good trade. the del sol looked like sht haha. your hatch on the other hand, looks to have a lot of potential. good thing theres no rust. where im from, if you want to buy a honda, youd better get used to rust lol. and yea, HT is just a mean place. a lot of people here believe if you cant afford to drop 2k on a set of "JDM wheels" then youre pathetic. good luck with the de-rice!!

 

What you want to do to de-rice is it. Paint the whole car "ONE" color, take out that Skunk2 sticker and don't throw anymore stickers on the car, throw some OEM hubs or some OEM Wheels on it.

Then it would look like a beauty. Hah

EDIT: And to add a bit more. Don't make that civic look like your delso now haha.

 

that thing is ugly lol

 

oh naw i traded an eclipse for the sol and though i'd put some money into it but just wasnt into the sol anymore so i traded.... yeah paint is the first thing im gonna do im thinking oem white and then get some black vinyl dye and redo the inside cuz the blue dude painted on the interior is garbage.... i look into a set of JDM stock wheels i like the look of stock.. and thanks i think it was a good trade too

 

which one is ugly? i know the sol is ugly i got it that way but the hatch is pretty nice i think

 

replace the blue spraypainted plastics on the interior. any junkyard should have these peices

replace the shift boot.

get new doors and new fenders and put the OEM moldings back on.

re-install rear bumper... there seems to be quite the gab between the filler
piece and the rear bumper itself... losen the bolts and pull bumper up and
then re-tighten the bolts.

paint the car one color, perhaps with semi-quality paint. Macco will do if
your on a budget.

get a set of tasteful wheels. nothing bigger than a 16" for that chassis, i
would say dont go over a 15" but your choice.

vaccuum the carpet.

Steam clean the Delsol seats. (they look like they are a little tilted- maybe just go
back with some stock seats or Si seats from the same year)

get a stock Si lip for the front/ or first gen integra lip will work.
same kind of lip for the rear if your feeling frisky.


^that should get you started

 

thanks for the tips, i was jus looking at some front lips on jdmsh!t.com, and i know i should have cleaned it before i posted pictures but i just got it last night and the rear bumber the piece it bolts into is missing cuz it used to have a body kit... and i still think the steelies are good lol and the sol seat which i like the sol seats just need to be cleaned and put in the car right thats why its tilted... and why new doors? they look fine i'll just put the molding back on there.. and why new fenders? and yeah i know the blue on the inside is ugly i'd like to dye the whole inside black and try and dye the carpet but if not just buy new carpet

 

It's got potential.

 

thank you.... and at least i aint got to worry about doin a motor swap. just the interior and exterior

 

look into scrap metal, make some money back and start fresh.

 

Def needs some work. Take care of it man I miss mine
