Thanks, Will! Talk about service after the sale...I think I bought your hatch like 7-8 years ago...I could remember your name but not your handle till I saw it in some old posts. You are presuming that any actual engineering went into the design of that bracket...More likely than not the...

I just traded my tired EG GSR swp for an EK(?) coupe...believe it is an EX model...went to put my wheels from the eg and they don't clear the calipers on the EX... help? I knew Will swapped in trailing arms from GSR to get rear discs on my EG....I always assumed the front disc was the stock...

Been a while. Mine heroically killed an evil coyote, thereby rendering the world safe for roadrunners. Want an undamaged, not painted over (yet) one, since ill have to paint to match any color is fine. need an amber front passenger side corner also. need shipped to 85534 where if it doesn't...

great price I think.. you sure you don't want to ask, say 12,500 in case I need to sell mine and want someone to pay close to what I paid? I still feel I got a great car at $6500. Ithad better suspension, but similar set0up to yours.

wow weird coincidence this thread.. I just wrote about my laser print of the entire license plate in another thread. Since the print was a match for the actual plate that really belonged on the car (the real one was pulling other duty at the time) it came up fine when they ran it.

well if your only a couple of thousand short, I'd take some payments for the last 2 say. In the alternative...I kid you not but in a farmers field on that lonely road in that border town, there is an unmolested red 92-95 hatch. (DX I think) It would start and run and then die after a few...

Well here's the idea I had for the less than courageous of us...(like me when I don't stumble into a do, or die in the insurance rates situation) The IDIOTS that run Scottsdale AZ strictly to improve safety with nary a though as to the revenue stream they could generate, decided to "allow" the...

Wow..lot of progress.. looking good...I remember this thread from a long time ago because of smiling about mom helping out. It looks darn near done. Liked the attention to detail, like painting that block-off plate before you (JB Welded?) it in so the inside looked good.

We can't possibly tell, need more information, is the widebody kit fiberglass or carbon fiber? What sort of wax do you use? What color is it? ~grin~

I just logged on when Civicious sent me a note today.. I see that : Search Results Welcome, d.b.cooper. 34404 Unread Posts since your last...

Im just glad.. you haven't gone completely to the dark side. I got worried when your list of rides included a nice German ride (fully backed by the POS dealer network of VWOA) Dump the 'nugen before it needs a $110 radiator hose. The poor hatch is lonely,Ive got no work so it sits in the...

For $200 its a great buy. I spent $400 for a rusty 89 HF with no wheels, no 1st or 2nd gear. And this is in Arizona where rust is rare. After having an SI trans installed for me and a new radiator, and a new ignition switch, I've got a reliable back-up car for Under 1200. Now a bad deal was...

We just drove the kids an hour north to play in the snow... ...only to find it snowed here in town for the first time in 50 years.

even better... Old refrigerator with acetylene cylinder cracked open inside. Chain shut. Light it up with a .50 cal belt fed machine gun with incendary rounds every 5th bullet.

I was actually doing that the month before I bought will's hatch the 86 civic 1300 had no 4th gear. (someone put 90 weight in the gear box and burned it out due to lack of lubrication at the end of the shaft.) Would barely keep up with traffic on a congested stretch of hyway towards Tucson...
