Cali_Ed Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hey guys, Well I have this old beater honda civic with about 240k on it. Very good on gas. My question to you guys is, would you guys fix it up? For example new shocks or springs, touch up the fading black parts with some black spray. Maybe get it repainted? or would it all be a waste? I'm thinking I wanna keep this car until it completely craps out. BUT, I kinda want something diffent, I want to potentially buy a 1970s z and fix it up (money pit). Just something about those cars so sexy. BUT BUT, I also want something newer but hate the thought of being in debt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgecrusher Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 FaaAaarrrttt Pipe and a rear Wing ! That's a negative ghost rider, the pattern is full. Fix it if it'll be less than 3500, otherwise move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali_Ed Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 It's not as easy as 1 2 3 here in California, ypu have to jump through a bunch of hoops to buy either a legal turbo kit of sorts or let's say swap a motor. I would love to turbo it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Drive it into the ground, put the money you would spend on a new car in the bank. Then get yourself something a little nicer when it dies with the extra money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ed, keep doing routine oil/filter changes, keep a clean air filter in it, and run it until it drops. However, I'm with mike on this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
