I woke up yesterday and it looked like I was in the Swiss Alps! The beater is buried:



So I'm wondering will the stock springs and struts from a 92-95 Civic fit my 89 DX beater hatch? I need to raise it up a little bit since it's dropped 1.8" with Sportlines. I have a stock set of springs and struts from my 92 VX that I could use.

 

yes they will work

fronts will be jacked up (due to struts being longer on teh 5G cars), just remeber to use 5g forks with it.

 

Hell yeah your car just like my car is covered completely.

 

The higher the better with this weather

 

You should see my CRX, well if you could that is. The snow drifted so high you can see the driver's side mirror poking out of one side and that's it, just a big snow pile We are in a state of emergency since yesterday with abourt 30" of snow and it's still coming down off and on

 

Frighteningly enough, Subaru's are looking better and better to me.

Yesterday I had no problem getting around. Although the highways were covered with sleet and ice I got around fine.

Today - forget it.

Something strange and unusual happened.

When trying to go forward the tires would just sink up in the snow/ice. I couldn't understand it. A Nissan Altima up the street tooled around like it was nothing. I don't know why my tires wouldn't bite.

The neighbor with the Tahoe had to take me to work. I usually get the last laugh on acceleration, speed, and fuel economy - but today the weather OWNED both my Civics.

wut really sukz is when you get outa the driveway fine.... but then i came home and got stuck but its stopped my car from like 10mph instantly rite at the end of my driveway with the *** end of my coupe in the road for not shovelin it, but a couple friends...alot of rope and a crv and im str8 now!

 

yea i feel the way yoo feel . . .
my si is somewhere . . . snow covered it so good i forgot where i parked it

 

virginia got wooped up ahhahaha....my explorer bairly made it out the nieghborhood, cause they didn't plow!

 

The snow is just beginning here in NH. Even those of us who are used to snow are having a hell of a time this go around. My DX was...OK in the snow, still had some difficult times with traction, but once I got in my Sienna, it was like night and day. That thing held the road extremely well.

 

Makes me thankful I keep my car in the garage :-D

 

Ohio got the **** beat out of it too!

 

Yeah, Ohio got a good ***-kicking. Took 'em over 24 hours to get to the side streets in my area because all the main roads kept building up from the drifting. My Sol barely made it home from a freind's house - and that's only about 5 blocks away. Damn near stalled it a couple times because I was so easy on the gas. Still fun, though!

 

thats funny, you guys get like a foot or two of snow and its called a blizzard. try living in alaska. a foot or two here is like an everyday thing. this winter has been really weird up here though, last week it was 45 above and raining now it is 15 below zero and snowing.

 

nothing but ice here in Nc..I just left Pa. this weekend..Im civic dont care for snow but it hates ice I got around good in the 12" they got now 18 and on the rise...semi plowed roads..I use si rims and blizzteck winter tires..them mugs bite like a pitbull!

 

I got stuck in the snow 5 times in 3 days. This is what I get for trying to drive a lowered car in the snow. Now my car acts as a snow plow.

 

I know what u mean about the snow (F**K VA) and all the northern places needs to put a ban on SALT.....

 

damn, looks very tough to live in

 

cwestin'39 - Did "plowing" do that to your bumper?

 

I know how you feel.

I'm not going anywhere.

 

Mine looks the same way now

 

yea, thats what happens when your stuck in 12 - 14 inches of snow, and rocking back and fourth trying to get my car unstuck.

 

WTF are you talking about, Fairbanks doesn't get **** for snow, the three years I was there the snow pack never reached the height of my waist. It does get cold as a **** though, I'll give you that. Show me a pic of the last time it looked like this there.
