ok guys. i am thinking of getting a new car. i am getting rather tired of my car, and i have been thinking for a long time about how much id rather have a hatchback. well i owe nothing on my car, and i have enough cash right now to get a 92-95 hatch. but that money is actually going towards a turbo setup for my b18c in the spring. but my plan is to get the hatch, swap the engines, suspension, CF hood, wheels, and such. and basically take my coupe back to stock other than the kit and exhaust. i am thinking that i will be able to sell it to some rice boy for more than what i will have to pay for the hatch, or atleast the same amount. therefor i will brake even or gain in money, ill have the car i really want, and ill still be able to turbo for spring.

the only thing this will really cost me is alot of time and work to swap everything. but i will be left with a b18c hatch with good suspension and a good clean look. one of the only problems i have is my wheels, i LOVE them, but they are 17's, and i think they may look funny on a hatch, i want 16's, but im not sure if i want to go through selling them, because i just got them this year. but im thinking i may be able to sell them and get some 16's and it wont cost me to much. im just not sure how much i could get for them. they are 5zigen fno1r-c 17 bronze that need new tires. so id hope to get enough to almost pay for the new 16's (same wheels), and then get new tires. any thoughts on my idea are wlecome. thanx

 

IMO, if you're getting tired of your car, it's not worth getting rid of a modified Civic only to get another one and doing the same...

 

but its not really my car, its the look. but if i am going to go back to stock body, id rather do it with hatch. im not really a fan of the coupes anymore. but i LOVE 5th gen hatches.

 

get a rsx

 

Sounds like a good idea to me :thumbup: I would get the hatch put your wheels on it and see what it looks like since you don`t really want to sell them.
