Just got me a hatchback pretty excited!

I needed a daily driver for work, my Infiniti is not that good on gas. Here is a picture of them two!

I got this hatchback 3 days ago. It's a 1994 DX with 150k miles. I only payed $1,100 for her. In the long run she will pay herself by saving me gas on my 60 mile commute. And keep my infiniti for weekends and after work. I am guessing this car does about 29mpg to 35mpg. not really sure.

The hatchy needs a little bit of work! I start with making sure all her fluids are good, and anything mechanical. After that fixing some dents here and there and eventually start modding her. I know I told the wife I would keep it stock but I doubt it.

Re: Just got me a hatchback pretty excited!

Those Calipers came in the 09 Sedan Model and not 08. So they stock calipers made by AKEBONO. I actually got them for $1,000 even used. Steel brake lines for $120. And I painted them myself. High Temp Spray Paint. Holding on great.

Hopefully in not so long I could made my hatchy looks something like this!!
I love the MPG on this hatchy!! I only fill up once compare to 2-3 times on my G!

Old models G35 coupe came with Brembos but they were tiny compared to the AKEBONOS BBK in the new models.

4 pot front and 2 pot rear. with 14" rotors. not bad.

Not at the moment but thanks. I am not spending any money on this hatch. Unless I get stuff super super cheap. I am still on the look out for fenders.
