So I've been on this forum for not too long. let me say THANK YOU ALL for this forum is like the gospel when it comes to figuring **** out...

that being said heres my car im whoring... had it for 2 years now, completely bonestock, runs like a champ, all ive done is replace a busted radiator and feed her oil and gas. hopefully ill get some insight on what my first mods should be... im a complete nublet (but learning) -- ie. thought civics back in the day were hot ****! i figure everyone says brakes + suspension meh... we'll see

i know... its dirty



got these shoes for $100 w/ tires... decent deal?







is this what people call orange peel? i just have to get this re-painted?



why would you just steal half?

oh and i hit a curb one time... tried welding the control arm back together dont drink and drive ... ended up going to junkyard and finding one... sways bent and now when i take a turn i reminisce of catching tuna on a boat recommendations on a new sway? THX AGN GUYS i <3 nico

Welcome! Good looking hatch.What year is it? My hatch is the same way, it is the clear coat wearing through and you will need new paint. It seems that all the black ones did it and maybe other colors as well. Definitely refrain from drinking and driving, it's just plain stupid, but glad you only broke a control arm and you're safe.

dont drink and drive

That's the clear coat going out. I tried sanding with 1500 grit. No go. The paint comes off with it. Best to just sand the damn thing to primer and repaint it.

not bad looking, the half logo gives it character. its not called orange peel (thats something u see when a car is painted and not wetseanded or buffed) theres no easy way to say this, ur car has cancer. its spreading rapidly and ur paint doesnt have much longer to live.

but minus 1 million for drinking and driving

[musashin]

this cancer you speak of is paint oxidation, right?

my car has cancer too

[s13redtaz]

good luck fixing it up and keep us all posted

[CRyan]

welcome to nico - in case you haven't already had the car painted

you can take some really fine sand paper and wet sand and buff the car. . . just try not to go to far down and just pull the clear coat that has done that up.

Good luck with the car - Keep us posted with the modifications and what will be done with the car.

thx for the tip... will that just prevent further oxidation? or make it look like it was before?

[TrueVillan]

Welcome and nice ride. New paint huh, what color??

[Jake's coupe]

Welcome to the party man.

That will bring the paint to "not quite" factory. It is good for a cover up - but knowing now that you've sanded down some of the clear coat - it will take only half the time if that for it to begin oxidation again.

But by then you'd hopefully have to big money to give her a brand new paint job.

Good luck with the car - and remember, watch for stopped vans full of mexicans. They always hurt the worst
