Icon4 New From PA With 3 V8's - Looking For a VX, CX, HX Daily Driver

Hey all,

A little about me: My name is Rick, I'm 31, I live outside of Philly. I love fast cars/trucks, motorcycles, SCUBA diving, shooting/firearms, photography, hiking, biking, and all that happy horse excrement. I enjoy taking way too many photos/videos of vehicles and what not - check my YouTube:

I'm here to find a new daily driver. I want a '92-95 Civic Bubble VX, or a CX, or an HX. I have a 63 mile round trip commute so I need something with great MPG. I just sold my Honda motorcycle last night to finance the Honda car. I have too many vehicles at the moment. Instead of telling you about them, I'll post some photos...

'98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.9L 360 V8 - 4.5"/4.75" lift, 32x10x16" Mickey Thompson MTZ's, Tomken rocker guards, FourXDoctor D30 diff guard, 3.73's, tow package, Morimoto MH1 bi-xenon projector HID retrofit, an underdrive pulley, and an eBay CAI:







'98 and '01 WS6 Trans Am's ('98 is my current DD, '01 will be for sale soon). Both are 5.7L LS1 motors. Just intake/exhaust & wheels/tires, lighting and audio, but still in the 12's/13's depending on the weather:


And, I just sold my '98 Honda VFR800 Interceptor last night :

So, here she is (Pardon the crappy cell phone photos)... 1997 Honda Civic HX coupe, 5 speed, lean burn, 153k miles, SI? trans (being swapped back to the OE trans that the prior owner gave me as well). It's lowered on brand new coil overs. Just added new tires, front pads/rotors, had an alignment done, new wiper blades and inspection/emissions:


As you can see it ha(d) a fart pipe:


'Til I broke out the sawz-all:


And gave the tip to my buddy to put on his Jeep lol:


My plans are for some aerodynamic improvements. Thankfully being lowered and having the front lip will help quite a bit with reducing drag. I'll be swapping the trans back to the stock HX model trans as it has a better ratio for higher MPG result. I may do headlights just so I can see at night.
