not bad for a $200 honda.

 

runs, drives, just looks a little rough. I go the brakes fixed today, even painted some of the rust. and I used some leftover rustoleum on the wheels, cause black steel wheels are totaly rad.

oh it's ghetto.

It's not officially "cool" until you get a big ol' wing on the back or one of these:

 

 

:D

[DirtyComanche]

Yes, it needs a few things.

 

 

 

-A wing. A BIG ONE. Multilayer is worth more points. Everything you need to build your own can be found at a hardware store. Yes, 2x4s are an excelent material choice.

 

 

-A fart can. Again, a big one. A dual tip setup is worth extra points. Luckily everything needed to build one can be found around the house. Hint, eat some soup.

 

 

-A body kit. Cardboard and chicken wire should not be used sparingly. Cover the entire mess with bondo after you have the basic shape. Don't bother to sand it. Just paint over it afterwards. Or don't even paint it for that 'Ho, I pimped this schiz myself' look.

 

 

-Carbon fiber. Obviously the real stuff would actually be of some benefit in the real world. Hence it is suggest you buy the rolls of the stick on stuff. Apply it to everything you think should be made from carbon fiber. Ie, the trunk lid, door handles, headlights, side windows.

 

 

-Pimptastic wheels. Black doesn't cut it in this urban world. Luckily Wal-mart sells clip on 'chrome' spinners for about $14.99 a set. While you're at it, get the multi-coloured LED valve stems.

 

 

-A incorrectly mounted liscense plate. You must put it on an angle. While you're at it, a vanity plate that reads 'DUB CLUB' or 'THA PIMP' is a neccessity.

DC, you obviously don't live near an actual ghetto, you've just read about them. You messed up on a couple of KEY points:

 

(1) The tires and wheels MUST exceed the value of the vehicle by a factor of ten. Thus, if the car cost $200, you have to spend at a minimum $2000 on tires and rims. That's actually pretty low-tech ... most genuine ghetto cruisers spend $2000 on each wheel.

 

(2) The chassis must be slammed. If you can turn from a main street into a driveway ... you didn't do it right. Pneumatic suspension is, of course, better. If the vehicle can jump up and down when stopped at traffic lights, it gets 7.43 more MPG when moving.

 

(3) And don't stint on the limo tint. If the po-po can see you, you lose points.

 

(4) A true ghetto vehicle doesn't have license plates on the outside. They get stolen. The license plate has to be taped or propped up in the rear window (which, of course, has been obscured by the aforementioned limo tint, thereby rendering the marker plate invisible).

lol i paid 400 for my mj and 450 for just my wheels no tires....

 

also last time i checked, all the "ghetto cars" are rolling at least a 4 in lift kit for bigger rims,

 

but you are right, the lower the better :D

[jared]

don't dog on the honda too bad guys. i had a honda (actually 4 or 5) before my jeep. they are the best cars on the road today.

 

my favorite i had was a red 90 civic hatchback. i did a engine swap to a newer vtec engine and had it lowered on 15'' rims. it was not fast, but it was really quick and fun to drive. the motor swap alone gave me 35hp over stock + some bolt ons which gave a bit more. and with the newer engine it actaully got way better gas mileage that the original engine did.

That makes you a ricer.... not a thug. The mods Eagle mention make you a thug.

 

 

Eagle also forgot to mention the stereo has to be able to be heard a block away, even if all you here is what sounds like loose metal being hit by a hammer. Also you have to have more tv screens then you do seats.

[87manche]

well, sorry to disappoint, but its still got the stock am/fm radio. Not even a cassette in that b*@$£.

but I did get it plated, and I did drive it to work thismorning. So it's gravy.

Gots to change the oil, and put some fresh fuel in it.

[Oizarod115]

is it just me or does every old honda you see burn oil in rediculous amounts?

[87manche]

this one doesn't seem to leak or burn anything, but I haven't had it on the road more than 10 miles, so we'll see.

The trans shifts hard though. Like a turbo 400 with a shift kit, it's banging into gears.

Gonna have to investigate that.

I'm afraid to drain it and refill it thoug, because I don't think it was the best cared for, and I've killed transmissions that way.

I might try an additive, I hate those things, but my brother had good luck with the lucas one in his AW4 that was shifting hard.

but, I'm gonna have less than $500 in it on the road, and that includes plates and 6 months of insurance. So I'm happy that it drives around town.

 

I filled it from dead empty today, took 10 gallons.

far cry from the 20 the MJ takes, and I'll probably got farther too!
