ok here is the story i had a 91 teal green civic i got for $400!!!it ran good i never had any problems with it all it needed was body work....i had a pair of 20 inch rims on my 2000 maxima that only costed me another $400 and this guy wanted them..he said he would paint my car and do all the body work to my ef hatch just for my rims.....i thought to my self was this guy joking lol..well i ended up believing the guy and i did that trade....the dude did a grate *** job on it...i couldnt believe...so after that was done...i found a pair of 16 inch rims with tires for $150 i got them and painted the lips the same color as the car it came out looking really nice...so i was happy with my hatch into i wanted to go faster lol sense i didnt have the money for a swap...i started looking on craigskist for a ef civic with a swap already in it...i ran into a dude that was trying to sell a crx with a jdm b16a v tec motor i thought it was good enough to trade so i ended up trading for the crx....the day i got it to the garage with my crx my uncle really really liked the body of the crx and wanted to trade me his ef hatch body that had no rust at all on it...i truely love hatchs more then crx's so i did that trade to lol....it was a big *** mess but ima show u what im doing now to my red 91 civic hatch...please teal me what u think...thanks

That's alot of trading! It sure sounds like you came out well. The motor/trans look great after the paint! Should be a fun hatch

 

o_O

 

Lol the all that body work for the rims that's hilarious!

 

Nice, good to see another EF being loved on. Still can't believe you traded the CRX off. Each to their own though, I'm rockin a sedan and loving it, miss my CRX though, it got burned to the ground by some haters like 8 years ago.

 

Hell yea bro, take care of my motor! Lol shoulda kept it but I needa a daily. Did ya keep my sockeyed ecu? Get some vids of her runnin..nd ill keep ya updated on tha teal EF might do a ls vtech or h22 w/b16 tranny..either way im ganna boost that baby. Lol stay in touch man good traden ya dawg.
