Hey whats up everyone, I have been looking for some forums for a while and I then I found this site. You all seem pretty chill here so I thought I would join up.
Some first things about me
My name is Alejandro like the lady gaga song yes, but everyone calls me ollie.
I love weights
PS3
food
sons of anarchy
biggie smalls
and chillin with the bros.
I'm a 18 and a senior in high school and about to graduate.
I joined this forum because I had an accord but had to get rid of it for some issues but was wanting to get a new whip. I found a 91 hatch back with 130k miles and pretty much stock for 2 grand. after looking it all up online even a dealer wouldn't sell it for 2 grand. I wanted to see what you all think.

15 or 17 seems about right. whats the mileage? is it the stock motor? whats been done to it? has the motor and/or tranny been rebuilt? How's the interior look?

EF's can be very nice little cars. What do you have planned for it? Are you planning on keeping it stock and making it your daily driver? Or do you plan on modding it? If you plan on making it go fast, your best bet is some kind of engine swap. But from what I understand EF's have plenty of engine bay room so most swaps will go in without much issue.

Its hard to tell from those little pictures... but has it been lowered?

It has 130k miles and from what I know everything is stock. He got a new clutch in it and some cv joints and the interior is decent.
I want it to be a daily driver but I want it to have some kick behind it ya know? maybe a cold air flow and exhaust and some new paint exterior stuff. I was wondering that as well but he says its his daily driver. I'm gonna go check it out today. Hopefully he take 1500 for it.

Okay so i bought the civic. Apparently its an si again its a 91 with 133k miles everything is stock except it is lowered. Brand new tires and a decent little stereo in it. Mostly interior work is needed but its not horrible. Its really really low like I can't go over a speed bump low. but I love it just gotta wait to get paid to do anything to it. When its done raining here I'll put up some pics.

It keeps raining and raining so it might be a day. I payed 1800 so he would get me the title and registration(stolen) so technically I paid 1700 for it. I wanna get a air intake and exhaust but right now its loud enough and my first priority is an alarm system like I said cause the last thing I need is for it to get jacked.
