My New Hatchback!

Just picked this baby up yesterday afternoon. And I am in love. A long time ago, way back in 1999-2000, I was going to buy a hatchback when they were still making them new... but before I could get downpayment money together, Honda haulted hatchback production less than half way through the year... after that news was announced, it became all but impossible to find one in good condition.
I was really out just driving around with a friend of mine when we decided to pull into a Honda dealership and look at some S2000's, just to waste some time... sitting in the back of the Used Car section was this car sitting there.. just waiting for me! They'd just gotten it in on a trade in... ironically the person traded it for an S2000... or so I was told. I told them right then and there "I'll take it!".. we went and did all the paper work, and I drove it home last night (07-07-04)... I'm the happiest guy in the world right now, bar none!

When I picked it up yesterday, it had already been customized as it appears.

Ignore the primer colored black widow knock off bumper... I have a Urethane buddy club front on the way.

A little hard to tell, but the sign says "Rice City Limits"... Rice, Tx being where I live.

I'd be doing a bit of clean up work... but it sounds like you're sorting it out. ;)

Congrats.

Yeah.. performance is not so much on my mind at the moment... cause this engine is the most fuel efficient I've had in a long while! And I'm liking that I've driven nearly 300 miles between yesterday and today and haven't had to fill up yet.
Later on I'm planning on a turbo'd Y7-Y8 convert. But that's actually a few years down the line.
Right now, I have to get a new front bumper on there and painted... and rewire the audio/visual system. Once I get those things out of the way, I'll be satisfied for a while..

I can't do a whole lot right now, because I'm going back to college to get SAE certified and finish out my business and management degrees.

They are not fitted on properly... I've ordered a helms manual which should be here early next week... once I get a look at how the stock side skirts fit on, I'm going to take the buddy club skirts off and remount them correctly.... I also need to reglass them a little bit while I have them off.

here's what i would do if i was you

get rid of the mid-wing (top one can stay, lookslike CTR replica)
new rims (those are kinda whack)
if your gonna get teh BC front bumper, i guess the sides/rear can stay, otherwise back to stock those should go

and all the ice stuff is actually kind of cool, if not you could sell it to make money for parts lol

looks koo though, good pick up, how muich you get it for?
