Ticket

[Liz]

Not much at all. Im also in a money crunch.
Short ram, muffler, rims (swaped with EK9 from the board) front sway bar.
type r shift knob not a real one the guy who owed my car before me had on ugly red one, so i needed something cheap and fast.
I have altezzas sad to say ): but they were on there when i got the car. I planned on getting red clears soon after, but they just cost to much right now.
The guy that owned the car before me also chipped the ECU that was the only thing he did. I forgot what kinda chip. He had a shop do it so i guess they did a good job. have not had any problems.

So im still in the process of getting everything how i want it. Looks as if i will be there for a while. Oh well it fun though.

Yeah, I've thought about changing my taillights to '99-'00 coupe tails too. It looks good on red cars anyway, alot better than the amber. Then I'm thinking I may get some SiR headlights. Then I can still wire up the city light (and clear corners - my oven's too small to use for doing clear corners anyway) and not have to buy CTR lights. I previously wanted to do a '99-'00 front end conversion too, but now I'm thinking that I won't because of not just the money involved, but everyone else is doing that. Don't get me wrong, I still like the '99-'00 front end, but I'll wait until I have another Civic from those years.

I do still spend alot of time with my car. Alot of time is spent on detailing. I just like detailing. Doing my car's almost too easy though because I've always taken care of her. I need to get my boyfriend to let me detail his interior. It needs it so bad. He wanted me to do it, but now he acts like he's really not that interested. That's how he is though, he'll be interested at first, and suddenly his interest wains. He's been like that with this whole thing where he's supposed to be wanting to trade in his other car ('95? Lumina) for an import car.

Yeh I would be trying to get rid of the lumina too. lol. I wish the idiot would have just left the stock tails on there. I wish I could just find some ricer that want altezzas and trade for there 99-00 coupe lights.

There are two civics on my street both have the stock tails. I have almost stopped and asked if they would want to trade. I figer the worse that will happen as they will say no.

Oh, I came home the other day and there was an identical (except for the white pin stripe - mine's black) Milano Red '99 or '00 coupe sitting three spaces behind my parking space on my road. I wanted their tails and front end so bad. I mean, they would probably be fine having my front end, but I figure they would think I was up to something shady if I did actually ask if I could have them. Like maybe they would think my taillights didn't work so I wanted theirs.

My boyfriend had been looking at a black MR2 (the previous gen, not the ugly new one that looks the same from the front and back). He thought it might be a turbo model too. I thought that would be in the VIN though, but it wasn't. He acted all interested in this car and then, out of the blue, he's not interested in it anymore. That's how he's been with all the cars!

 

[Liz]

Yeh they may think its a shady deal.. The way i see it if i just started asking everyone i saw that had the tails i wanted. Someone is bound to bite on the offer.

 

[CivicTemptress]

Yeah i wish i had the money to do what i wanted to do to my ride. I want to get a engine swap but that is hella money so i'm saving. hopefully this year some time i'll have enough to get it. It sucks not having money to blow off on your car or to have parents to just give you money to do it.

But I think i'm staying with my stock lights because everybody and they momma got altezzas . I don't want to have what everybody else got.

 

[Liz]

Yeh will good luck on not getting what everyone else has... Thats seems to pretty much be impossible. What kinda swap are you wanting to do?

 

[CivicTemptress]

I know what you mean,,but as far as for my back lights right now I will keep them stock,,but its like everybody has altezzas,,,damn fast and furious movies,,ha ha ha. oh well.

 

[NOFX]

See, if people had listened to me maybe I would have gotten some new taillights (the '99-'00 coupe ones) for Christmas or my birthday instead of so many clothes. Clothes are good, but my car needs new things to wear too!

 

[CivicTemptress]

oh lord. ha ha ha,,,for x-mas people rarely get you the things that you REALLY want even though you specifically ask. But when you get someone something you get them exactly what they asked for. x mas sucks sometimes,,,but hey at least you got some clothes.

 

[NOFX]

Yeah, my mom realized that I never like the clothes that she picks out for me, so she brought me out shopping. She knows that I love my car, but everytime that she asks me, "What do you want for Christmas/your birthday?" she adds on, "Nothing to do with cars." But that's what I really like. No one has a problem dropping a hundred dollars for her for a tree that might die anyway! Yeah, she likes gardening like I like cars.

 

[CivicTemptress]

yeah i hear ya but just ask for money,,tell them that you don't want anything else except money.

 

[NOFX]

I wish I could, when I ask for money I'm told that I can't get money because "it's too impersonal".

 

[Liz]

I wish I would have just got gift cards for ebay...
