Arnick1993's SLAMED 92 civic hatch project!

SMG

For a custom turbo setup you need to figure out what it is going to cost and then double it. That is your budget.

Turbo not happening YET need money for other crap on the car right now.

I could have told you that kid....even guys with money/jobs have a hard time rounding up the cash for turbo setups. It makes me laugh, because everybody I talk to wants to do a turbo setup.....but they all usually come to their senses and opt out of it. You're no different. You talk as if you're made of money. Do you even have a full-time job?? Modding/fixing cars ain't no joke man. Gets expensive right quick...especially when you dream big....

SLEDED

x2. if i were you i'd fix the rockers and floor and drive the damn thing the way it is why waste money on something thats gonna keep on rotting.thats my good opinion,the other is stop before you waste to much cash.

that's good to hear guys. I'm actually glad you Honda guys are sticking to your plans. I mean, we'll never see the money we spent on cars, and will never get that money back. But cars are sooo addictive and fun. It's a sickness. Good thing we all have jobs then....

but in hindsight...I'm at the point in my life, that my next car's mod will only be suspension and wheels. That's it. Not sure what car it'll be, but no engine mods or chip or intake or stuff like that. Just gonna pimp it OEM+ with coilovers and wheels. Don't get me wrong...that's still a costly modification when done proper. I mean, it's well over $3000 for my current setup of Koni coils and LM reps. That's more then some people's cars affraid

...cars suck and this game ain't cheap.

Yeah at the house i'm at right now our computer is broken so this is what i've done so far... Got the doors off and the new ones on also got the old gas door off and the new one on only thing left is the new ignition and it is currently ready for the new floor will be in once the guy that's doing it gets time. Tried to change the axle Russel came over to do it took out the tourque wrench and pulled on it, he lifted up the whole front end of the car still no luck so I have bought a socket and wheel will be coming off and then the nut will be either heated or cut off and a new one on with a new axle. Thought of some plans today I will keep them a secret until they are done which will be done other than the new wheels which I have to save up for then pictures will go up and you can look if you feel like it.

Hopefully the deal works out getting a new shell with 0 rust and a pretty sweet paint job!
