QwikXRs '96 CX HB "C'muter"

Update(s):
Wheels should be here friday or monday.. Im rocking the steelies til then..

Now, as for the BRIDE seats.... ... think I might sell 'em.. I've come to the realization that at 5'10, 225 pounds, my ass and thighs are a little wide for 'em .. And given how much time I spend in the car, I really don't feel like driving to/from work with my balls sitting 'on' my lap in order to get my legs down between the high bolsters..
I'll probably be posting them for sale very soon (not here, as I don't have enough 'cred' or 'time' invested in the forum, yet..

nice clean up job and nice seats. You said it was a commuter so I'm just wondering why all the goodies. Don't get me wrong goodies are nice, but just wondering.

Thanks...
Well, reason behind it is this:
I, like about everyone else here, can't leave s**t stock. So in my traditional ways (don't think I've ever owned a bone stock car in my life! ) I tend to modify to fit my tastes. I want it to look good, and have some decent handling, etc.. Never know when the spirited backroad rip might wanna hit ya! Eventually, I'll cross over and do drivetrain mods, but for now, it is a commuter for the most part. My only other honda ever owned (back in 2000) was a '90 base HB, that was red (go figure), black fenders and hood, black unpainted WW kit, black steelies, but I did a B20/B18 swap with GSR trans (VSV in dallas).. looked like ass, ran like a sum-bish.

I said all that for no friggin reason, i guess!
Bottom line, I can do the exterior stuff to it, that I want, now, then later, if I decide to work on engine performance, the other stuff is already done.. :

Got my wheels in on saturday, and installed them. Unfortunately, I havent had a chance to get any pics, as I've been working on a motorswap in a friend's '78 Scirocco.. Converting it from mech. f.i. 1.6L 4spd to e.f.i. 1.8L 5spd..
I'll try to get some of it this week.

Well, I searched all over, today, for my friggin SAFC.. I guess my old ass misplaced it.. I was wanting to install it today, too.. Go figure..
Anyway, thought I'd snap a couple of pics of the new buckets..

I need to find some mounting brackets now..

sell me those please

 

[qwikxr]

damn - missed your post! sorry, bud. Don't care to ship them, unless the price is right.. Else, I may just install them and deal with it..


Update:
Replaced the steering wheel with an aftermarket one...
Installed upper/lower front/rear stress bars, may go with an H frame shortly, still undecided.
CTR headlights installed now..
Installed CAI..
Saturday or sunday, I swap suspension.. going 2.25 in front, 2 in rear..
Ingalls rear adjusters, Skunk2 control arms up front..
Ordered STS this morning..
Looking for a non-raspy muffler to replace the stocker.. the cat-back section is OEN brand new, so I'll leave it for now.
I def. don't want a farty, weedwhacker sounding muffler, though.. cant stand them. sounds like a bumble-bee in a paper sack.

...I can see where this is going...
