I just traded my Si for a new shitbucket. Its not in great shape, but pretty good for a 22 year old truck.

Pros:
-camper shell
-tool box (which I will probably sell)
-New tailgate (these tend to rust out and fall apart)
-Recently rebuilt motor runs well, but seems a bit down on power
-aftermarket wheels with sufficient backspacing to allow for decent tire sizes
-front pumpkin skidplate (hangs a little low, but that wont be a problem once I get new tires)
-decent bucket seats

Cons:
-No seat belt buckles
-needs either thermostat or water temp guage
-advertized 3" lift kit was a shackle with two spring mounts in the front, and *gasp* blocks in the rear
-will need tires soon

I'm having a little bit of buyers remorse after driving it home... it is definitely slow as fawk, and I already miss the shitbiscuit. But I think as soon as I get the shitbox running all that will fade. I just hope it proves to be reliable.

anyway, pics.





blocks!

 

now you should get a net for the back, some TRXUS MT 33's ( www.intercotire.com ) and get it muddy

 

When are you gonna get a new car

 

That thing is the biggest pile of shit ever. Congrats.

 

EF > shitty truck

 

I figure I'll have my honda end covered by the EG... that should be all the sporty I need, while the truck is infinitely useful for chores, camping, wheeling, etc.

And upon closer inspection, it appears that the lame power (i know what a 22r should feel like, and this one feels wimpy) may have something to do with the 1" pea-shooter exhaust.

 

straight pipe ftw

 

another thing to add to the pros list:

power steering!!! The old shitbucket was so damn hard to drive in parking and crawling situations, so this is definitely a plus as long as it continues to work.

Also has a/c, but I'll probably pull it out to relieve the motor of some parasitic drag.

 

Oh, yeah one civic probably is enough. I wouldn't sold the EG, but I'm not exactly impartial. h:

 

I'm still trying to resurect my enthusiasm for the EG. And besides, with all the parts, I think its worth a fair bit more than that truck.

:edit: just measured the wheel wells, and it looks like theres plenty of room for 31x10.5 without bumping into anything. Too bad tires are so damn expensive.
