to bad they dont make post office boxes that big haha do you have a friend you could order it to their house or is it a matter of money/ credit card thing?

 

well, if you read back a few pages (like 6 or so), my parents were originally going to give me $4k towards a new car. Well, I basically have them talked into paying for my engine swap (yeah, I know... I'm a spoiled little bastard lol.. but would you complain if you were in my situation?)... and apparently, I haven't been keeping my s**t cleaned up in the house lately (or at least that's my dad's excuse)... personally, I think it's just that my dad thinks we're going to get a blown engine or his credit card number will be stolen or something. I'm kind of pressuring him to order it soon becuase I want the swap to be done and the car to be repainted in time for my girlfriend's prom (like 2 months from now).

Also, just a little addition: I think I'm going to swap an EK center console w/armrest into my civic (yeah, this is related to the thread I just posted in).. I like how it looks, and it wont' be too expensive (hopefully everything (like the parking brake) will line up, since I plan on swapping the whole console instead of just the front part)

 

ok heres the plan clean the entire house then say bitch ur credit card wont get stolen and if you have bank of america you will get your money back without a problem mine got stolen and they gave me my money back ill i had to do was sign a paper and they fully refundedit

 

lol, trust me... ive been kissing my dads *** lately (my moms one of those "go ask your father" type of moms), so hopefully we'll get it ordered at the beginning of next week. It kind of p**ses me off when my dad pulls these kinds of stunts, but then I remember I'm getting an engine swap (assuming we ever order it) and I don't have to sell my cbr (which is, by far, much faster and more fun than my civic will ever be). That makes me kind of happy lol

 

hahah nice but ya my parents are opposite every time i ask my dad hes says go ask your mother i wana slap him cause she always says no. hahabut ya thats homo they still havent let you order it :/

 

okay, I might have a new idea... screw all this work on the civic. I found an '89 240sx over in Harrisburg (a few hours away) for $800. I'm thinking maybe buy it and swap in a black-top sr20 (and the total cost will still be less than a gsr swap in my civic!). Then, I can generally beat the absolute **** out of the 240sx... I'm just hoping I can talk my parents into this one. I'm just not 100% sure what to do with my civic.

I'm thinking a boosted 240 will be a little more fun that a wrong-wheel drive civic (even with a gsr swap)

*edit: I've got a plan for the civic... buy the 240, order an engine... keep the civic (with title) until after the swap, and sell the civic, using the 240 as a DD.

 

damn dude you need to make up your mind haha even if you do get the other car your parents will be like no swap hahahaha

 

well ive wanted a rwd car for a while now (ever since I first saw drifting on tv[before tokyo drift, btw]), and come on... $800 for a rwd 240sx? That's pretty tempting... I mean a black-top s13 sr20 swap is $3k shipped to my house... if I sold my civic as a stock civic and got $2k for it (I'd be willing to part with the civic for that much if it meant having a 240), that's $1800 for the swapped 240. Throw in $800 for a body kit (including shipping) and $600 for paint (my friend paints cars and will do it for free), that's still a great deal. In all reality, I doubt my parents will go for it.. but I think I'll try for the "it's less money in the long run" approach... and offer to give them the $2k from my civic's sale.

But I have a feeling that in two months, I'll have a gsr swapped civic.

 

damn ill be hella sad if you give up your civic i like it

 

man I know how it feels to be in the shoes of having parents say no to that kind of stuff. My dad was against me doing anything like that to my civic. Well I slowly started ordering parts (nice thing about getting home before he did) by the time he would get home the part would be on my car and I would not say anything to him. And well as time went on they both realized it was beyond there control that I was going to modify my car if I wanted to.
