Welp I finally sold my hatch, the new owner isn't exactly all that knowledgable about Hondas, and I heard he screwed up my car already, but I don't care, cause I got my new toy.

Sold the 1992 Civix HB DX w/ B16A swap.






My New Toy!






I got the 2004 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor! It's pretty sweet, and it's definately better than the hatch. Somehow the dealership really hooked it up, its kinda like a hybrid of the newer 2005 model that isn't even out yet. I got 2005 sport package, with the sunroof package and rear seat fold down package. THe 2005 sport package came with 13 in front cross drilled rotors, 17 in rims with ZR rated tires, blue tint and AMG body styling. The only major difference between this and the 2005 c230k is the headlights and gauge cluster, besides that is basically is the 2005 model . I had my hatch for 5 years, and I gotta say I loved it, but its time to move on to better things, and of course I'm still down with Honda-tech

 

 

both cars are nice

 

nice upgrade, but your eg was hot too

 

well done.

 

wow BIG change!!

both nice though, just in very different ways

 

nice...time for a pulley upgrade and a chip...

 

damn...from civic to benz...nice!

 

LOL Damn, thats gangsta

 

Beautiful!! im thinking about getting IS300 soon! and keep may EK after I sale my EG. Nice upgrade!!!!!

Good move!

 

Very nice! G'd out! That was a mackin civic though.

 

nice step up

 

NICE! My Girlfriend and I have a 2004 C-class too!

 

four door????

 

haha yea, it is a nice upgrade, I get stares all the time when I'm driving since I'm so young and finally got one, of course I'm officially broke and insurance is really high, but I think its well worth it, plus Mercedes Benz does all my maintenance for the next 4 years... oil changes tune ups, top off on fluids, car washes etc. Yes being a Mercedes Benz Owner has many privaledges . Plus roadside assistance for life!

it's called maturity man....I love my Honda and all, it's great for college but I am not going to spend 4 hard years in college to be driving Civic's my whole life. People move on, I am pretty sure no one here plans on driving Civic's forever. Maybe one day in my 30's I will leave my super stunna cars for a beater Civic to get me to work.

 

damn, don't hate on other people's success and joys.

 

i originally wanted 7k for the civic, but i didn't get that many offers for that much, so i let it go for 6k. I'm not sure if I wanna do anything to the benz yet, since I have no idea how german cars work, plus it might void the warranty. I'm pretty happy with how its running now, and the supercharger in it aint half bad With the gas prices extremely high now a days, I settled for this baby instead of everything else. I was gonna get the Lexus IS300 or the Infiniti G35 cause they run for the similiar price range, but I can't afford the gas, shiet I can barely afford the gas for this one since it only takes 91 premium. I dunno, I love the import scene, but the Honda was giving me problems that I didn't want to deal with. Right when I got back from deployment and started going back to part time college (cause I work full time), my eg almost got broken into (which'll make that the 4th break in since I've had the car, and once it actually got stolen and stripped). Plus I was getting hassled by cops all the time for stupid crap. Now cops don't hassle me at all, plus the car is virutally theft proof cause it uses a laser sensor key (150 bucks to replace and must be programmed by Mercedes Benz) .

 

very nice upgrade..

 

agreed...im keepin my HB cause it will be road race or autoX...but as soon as college is done im going to be in a Subaru STi or Acura Integra (depending on $) or something fast stock and comfortable hell...maybe even some SUV on 22's who knows???...and they will be left stock for the most part...the BMW phase will hit when im around 30 i think!

 

91sihatchback - wtf are you on? who wouldnt take a [2005 packaged] C230 kompressor benz? its 4012740814 times nicer then any "jdm front/turbo'd honda". who cares if the honda is faster, the benz wins overall, hands down!

very nice upgrade by the way, love the black benz. nice to hear you have the top-of-the-line package as well, must be dope

EDIT: i also want to add, driving a supercharged auto aint bad either. very relaxing. on top of that, sunnyv8le is now a worry-free theft person
