  • New, (Insert Catchy Introduction Here)

    Hello, my name is Kyle, and after lurking for a while, I figured I'd make an introductory post.

    I'm 22, and new to the stance thing, as well as to cars in general, but I try to learn whatever/whenever I can.

    At the moment I'm driving a 1991 EF (ED if you want to be technical) Civic Hatch.



    Stance is sort of weird to me, because usually, I've considered myself to be a fairly function over form sort of person, but after looking around on this forum, I may be swayed a bit.

    I figured I'd also ask you all what your opinion is. At the moment, the Civic is being a pain in the ass, and I've had a bit of an opportunity presented to me.

    I sold my second car to one of my old co-workers months ago, and now I have the opportunity to buy it back.

    The car in question is a 1982 Toyota Corolla SR5 Liftback (sorry for the lack of pictures, but it's the model with the window behind the door that rolls down), and I should be able to pick it up for about $200.

    So the question I pose to you all is, keep the Civic, be afraid of it being stolen, or do something a little different with the TE72 (and faster, since I can use the money from the Civic on the Corolla)?

    Welcome to Stanceworks. This is a great platform. Either way you can't go wrong. I personally would stick with the civic, because of the reliability, cheap parts and great gas mileage.

            Indeed, it is the ugly style as shown here:


            Although after seeing this one, I have some ideas.

                Work meister CR01 or Enkei 92/something mesh, slammed, done. LS turbo is cool too, the most fun you can have for cheap. $2500 in a motor/turbo kit/tune and have a 250+whp car that you can daily drive and beat the shit out of.

                  I'm guessing you're talking about the TE72? I'm leaning that direction at the moment. If I decide to keep the Honda, I'll be buying the TE72 and reselling it anyways :P

                    TE72 is cool too, though.

                      Well, bought the Corolla, turned around and sold it for 325 more to a fellow who is making it pretty again.

                      I've also run in to another question. I've been talking to a fellow about trading for a 1987 BMW 325is.

                      I'm not entirely sure what to do. If I keep the civic, I need a new windshield, the exhaust will need to be redone so I can go lower, and I'll have to fix the starting issue that's plagued me for most of my ownership.

                      If I get the BMW, it will probably need a new paint job, and it pops out of first.

                      Anyone have any opinions?

                            haha I have one of these civics as a winter beater, I love it it never dies!! keep the car dude and make it nice!! they look sweet with roof rack!

                            also the starting issue is more then likely the main relay just replace it and all will be good. Its 60 bucks at advance auto and the relay is located right above the hood release under the dash. Just take out the coin tray and try and get a 10mm wrench on the one nut that holds the relay down and bam switch them out and your good.
