new owner!
what's up guys
i just bought a 2005 Honda Civic LX-se sedan
needed a reliable car for school, so we went out and picked one up.
main competition was a mazda3. well i test drove the mazda3 and it sucked ***. it's faster and has better steering then the civic, but the car feels heavy in corners and i felt like i was sitting in a high-chair. also the a/c didn't blow cold for about 25 minutes. the guy offered us 14.3k for the mazda3. thats for a base model, a/c, no power anything, steelies + hubcaps 5speed.
for a few hundred more we got the lx-se, with 6 cd changer, spoiler (meh), alloy wheels (meh), 5 speed, power everything, keyless entry, etc. no moonroof or vtec, but no biggie. 33/38 + 5 speed + cold a/c = me happy.
btw the civic is about 50x more fun to drive. yeah its slower, but who cares?
i also own a 1995 240sx
mods are
-1997 ka24de + tran
-fidanza flywheel
-exedy clutch
-home made intake
-nismo engine + tranny mounts
-eibach springs (previous owner, these have to go)
-annoying exhaust (previous owner, also gotta go)
i've owned it for 3 years and fixed alot of **** on it. still alot to do. i recently swapped out the old engine for the 97 ish. i still have to put it back together so it is currently not running.

hi aznpoopers.
yeah i cut out the radiator support (front bulkhead) and spot welded in a new one in, with aznpoopys help of course. thanks. now we just have to finish the motor swap for the ka24de in the 240sx.
