well today i went out EG Civic shopping. the first one i came across was a black 93 Civic DX at some shitty auto dealership. the car was scratched to shit, it had a body kit that wasnt put on worth a fuck, bald tires, black aluminum wing (wasnt that tall but still). the interior wasnt bad really. nothing to fancy except it did have white faced gauges that were pretty decent looking. it was also an automatic. so me and James (2000si) take it out for a test drive. we drive across the street around a grocery store parking lot. it didnt drive too bad although one of the front tires was low and the shifting was really well. so i stop the car and pop the hood. well low and behold it had a motor swap. it had a D16y7 in it which is about the only thing i really liked. looking a little more i noticed that the radiator support where the hood latches was pushed in aparently from a front end collision. i also noticed while i was driving that the SRS light was on so that explained that. we drove the car back to the lot and took the keys back. they wanted like $2700 for the car. it definately was NOT worth it...maybe worth $1500 if that. like i said, the only good thing about it was the motor swap. they also had some Civic sedans but they had too much rust on them for my tastes.
after me and James left there, we headed to the Dodge place to look around. they didnt have shit so we left there and went to the Honda dealership...nothing there either. got some food (well James did) and he left to go home and i went to go look at another 93 Civic EX up the street from me. that car was nice as hell. loaded, started up awesomely and was clean as hell. even the engine bay was clean. they wanted $3750 for the car and wanted my truck plus $1000 from me to get the car. i was hoping to get a straight trade. ahh well. but anyways, the only turnoff was that it was an automatic as well. i then went home kinda bummed. ahh well. i will find one hopefully soon.
no cliffnotes for u lazy fuckers. just read the topic dammit.
