... but I got here as quick as I could.

Here's my new (new to me, anyway) '95 VX VTEC-E HB (before).



A little history:
Bought from a friend for ($800!) who blew the head gasket and warped the head from overheating. Rebuilt the head, replaced the radiator, tuned up the engine, cleaned the crap out of it, tinted the windows, polished the paint, installed a new muffler, and replaced the expansion valve in the A/C. Runs like new after all that, and the temp stays right where it's supposed to - imagine that.

Plans:
Install JDM driving lights, tilt, sub-box w/10s & 400 watt amp, center console w/armrest, polish the VX rims and paint the centers black. Might throw on some nice light gray stripes with Tru-Fire flames or ghosted skulls inside 'em (I'm an airbrush artist as well).

Then:
Drive the **** out of it enjoying 300% better gas mileage than my '97 Dodge Ram 4x4.

Thanks for having me.

 

welcome to the forum, w00t another white hatch owner [8D]

 

welcome to the forum, and i would also consider lowing the car too it would look much better than it is now

 

Lipkit and a drop and it would look sexy.

 

Sorry guys, Not planning on dropping it. There's way too much variation in the roads around here for that. Additionally, I'm more accustomed to simply sliding straight across into my vehicles. Having to pretty much squat down just to get into the car is not as forgiving on my knees as it used to be when I owned a Mustang almost 19 years ago.

I won't argue the fact that it would look cooler with a lip, 16s, and a 2" drop - it would be SO much cooler. But this is also my experiment in economy as well. Any coolness that winds up on this car will have to come from strategic application of paint.
