    Keep the Hatch alive... currently: stock D15B2 and stock 5 speed... What next?

    i appreciate the offer... I'm all the way in Denver, CO though... would be nice to find another enthusiast locally who knows this type of stuff... It gets very overwhelming trying to learn it without a mentor or somebody to bounce ideas back and forth with... guess I'll keep driving it and worry...

    Keep the Hatch alive... currently: stock D15B2 and stock 5 speed... What next?

    another thing... i'm not too concerned about spending a little cash (obviously the cheaper the better); it appears cheaper to keep this hatch going than buying a new car...

    Keep the Hatch alive... currently: stock D15B2 and stock 5 speed... What next?

    Thanks for the responses.. @MistahJuice - thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps i'm overthinking this a bit due to my lack of knowledge of engine rebuilds/swaps... I had a bad experience with an engine rebuild with my first car (89 Buick Skylark)... The engine leaked oil and it was in terrible...

    Keep the Hatch alive... currently: stock D15B2 and stock 5 speed... What next?

    I agree with your recommendation... I guess the question is: Where the heck do i find one of these motors at?... I don't feel too comfortable rolling the dice on another D15B2 from the junkyard. I would like to find a D15B2 that is brand new if I could... Being that it is an old motor I'm not...

    HX Rims? Do they really help save gas?...

    Exactly, I'm all about Dollars and Cents. Let's say I sell my 14" HX wheels for $200 and put the stock 13" put back on. Wouldn't it take years to even recoupe that money?... if so, it only makes sense to sell them and take the money today. I could careless how my car looks at this point (only...

    HX Rims? Do they really help save gas?...

    I've been thinking about selling my HX wheels (street value is around 175-250 in my area) and putting my stock 13" steelies back on. I'm trying to "plain jane" my car out a bit (remove tint, remove stereo equipment, etc...). Will I notice a difference in gas mileage? a buddy of mine (has HX...

    I'll admit; I liked the remix a little better... =):lol: I guess the Kid Cudi song isn't as bad... I just really can't stand that "RIGHT ROUND" song ... Lol I think having everyone be on the "Day and Nights" jock makes me not like the song as much...

    RANT!!!! I F***ing hate "Right Round" and "Day & Night" so bad

    I am beginning to feel that this is true... Mainstream is just heavily marketed BS (I can't say everything is, but it feels like it anymore:word:)... Some of the best songs I love aren't heavily marketed at all... In fact, I listen to a lot of underground rap...
