Well since I totaled the bike, I had to get another DD. I figured the closest i'm going to get to motorcycle gas mileage was another Honda. I got a steal on this 97 LX, ice cold ac, power everything, good shape body, etc. Just needs a little TLC. I've already replaced both front wheel bearings, both half-shafts, and I have new lower ball joints, upper control arms (for new ball joints), and new inner and outer tie rod ends, I've also got everything to rebuild the stock engine (d16y7) since its starting to smoke, and I didn't want to risk it by getting another d-series out of the junk yard. I've had this for about a week now, but I couldn't post it on here with the nasty rims it came with. I finally got my hands on some Si wheels today, so these should hold me over till I get all the kinks worked out, my main intent for this is to clean it up, and make it as reliable as possible, not really looking for performance out of this one.

For the price I paid, fuck yeah. No show car, and no race car, but its a hell of a dd.

Haahaha everyone says that. I've already put those Si wheels on it, stereo, and tint (a necessity in this desert heat). Otherwise than that everything I've bought has been to make it more reliable. That's the only reason I don't want to mod it, I've already got one problematic car. If anything I may do some subtle cosmetic shit.
