What the hell is a duckbill spoiler? Pics?

Samson, I’ll definitely give you a ride tonight, just gotta let the car warm up first. The vtec won’t open if the car is cold. Make sure you’re at my house at 9pm sharp.

So far so good, got 200km and it only used less than a 1/4 of a tank of gas. This was mostly highway though. Needle might drop a lot more soon though, but we’ll see.

for some reason I always liked the look of a white civic with red wheels

otherwise a fine T.O. winter beater, it says; “don’t fck around… its paid for”

whats wtih all the sarcasm 1-upmanship?

this car is wicked… i would very seriously happily drive an EG hatch for a DD or winter beater. for $1000 that is a fantastic find. It will never be worth less that that so long as it runs and drives straight.

I can’t complain about it so far. I love it, just gotta make sure the car is actually safe to drive, mechanically it “feels great”, but I have to take it for a real safety soon. 🙂

VX has oem rear diffuser to stop parachute effect in the rear bumper for better MPG.

Aluminum shock forks to save weight.

SI lip and grill block to help MPG.

Rear drums are aluminum to save rotational weight, along with the 13" vx wheels that have low rolling resistance tires.

It also has 3 stage Vtec with lean burn and a OEM wideband which lets the motor run at like 18:1 AFR under crusing to get insane 50+ mpg.

Am I the only one that’s really impressed that a car that old and that cheap would have all of this?
