after 2 years of sitting at a friends' house next to a non-running crx, i finally got my hatch running again...for not running in 2 years, after rebuilding the starter, replacing the spark plugs, changing the oil, replacing the oil pan gasket, flushing the radiator, and fixing my loose brake problem, it now runs just as well as it did back when i was still in high school :D although it's not exactly beautiful, heres the pics (bad quality after being shrunk on cardomain)

all flames and comments welcome...btw: anyone know a better, reliable image hosting site..?




damn dent...






dont worry, it will be painted soon

Like Tainted Ramen, I too love those rims!!!! Your taillights are pretty sweet too. I've never seen them like that before. Try to get some Si seats in there and you'll be set just my opinion.

I thought those were HX wheels................I thisk si seats are a good investment. Also some paint.

I think your name says it all =)

Needs paint and you'll be straight. Maybe some new seats?

VX RIms

Those aren't old hatchback rims, they didn't have alloys back then. Those are 92-95 Civic VX rims, I know because I have a set for my car sitting in the garage... Difference between VX rims and HX rims is that one is 13's and the other is 14s(96-00 HX). They also look a little different. God do I wish my vx rims were 15's...they look like Integra Type R rims or Circuit 8's.

Those pictures make me want to put my vx rims back on... They look very cool on that car in my opinion. Too bad even with tein lowering springs I still have an ugly amount of wheel gap.

your right those aren't hatch rims for that year, but yet your wrong cause honda did have alloy's for the 88-91 model civic's, however they were accessories.

they are vx wheels, and 13s give me wheel gap in the back too..

fat fives (with the oem 4x4 tires) and webs use to look tucked in the back - older pic

see them down there....?

jspeczc - non-vtec = most underrated
