LX Coupe/Sedan

SpazzySalsa · 05-10-2012, 03:10 PM

Anyone else hate their LX coupe/sedan?
I had to get mine because my old car was beyond repair...
Feels like a grandma car to me, but hey thats just me.
Rents surprised me with this LX awhile back, really wish they would have got me an SI...
How much $$ would it take to add the HFP lip kit and SI spoiler on it and SI rims on it do you think?

EDIT:
They only payed down payment of $1000, I pay every month for the car, not spoiled. Working full time and in college......

Is it automatic or a stick?

You have a LX what coupe or Sedan?

Do stuff to your car, i mean i have a coupe and i regret not getting a sedan just cause coupes dont have as much to with compared to sedans. But i'm gonna bite the bullet on this car pay it off and then upgrade to a new Si one day or an S2000

cant decide but until then make your car what the hell you want it to be.

Can we say spoiled??..be thankful for what ya got!

But on a side note I love my EX and dont regret no getting an SI!..Dont turn it into an SI, because its not one!

DangJaedong · 05-10-2012, 04:33 PM

I wish I got my LX for free...just relax and enjoy the extra mpg. Then again, you didn't buy the car so I doubt you worry about mpg...

brandn18 · 05-10-2012, 04:38 PM

you would probably cry if you received what was my first car. A 1974 Ford Maverick, back in 1998. BE HAPPY.

Free car > No car...be happy and move on

FrankJaeger · 05-10-2012, 04:54 PM

My first car was a POS 94 mercury Couger it had 300K on its when i got it for 500$. It lasted me a year until it was worth more to repair it then the price i got it for.

You remind me of a user on here who complained that his parents bought him an Si then wouldn't let him trade it in to get a modern 370z.

Amazing.

..

Regardless, shoot for a grand for the HFP kit. Have only rude thoughts on getting an Si spoiler for a LX and wasting money on Si wheels, when you could waste money for a better looking set of wheels.

FrankJaeger · 05-10-2012, 05:04 PM

@trufflesaremoney I agree

Si wheels are alright but if your going to spend that much why not go aftermarket?

My first car was a 92 Saturn 2 dr coupe...whole car was plastic. 1 liter of oil every two weeks, no exaggeration.

They only paid the bare minimum to get it off the lot while I was out of town for a class project.
Pay for the car payment every month myself. Working full time and in college...

crazymxrider53 · 05-10-2012, 05:51 PM

I retract my previous statement..now that I know the whole story. Sorry

***trufflesaremoney*** · 05-10-2012, 05:52 PM

Yeah, if you had specified that from the start, then nobody would have thought of you as spoiled.

Still, there is the fact that they did that. They could have so easily gotten you a 91-99 civic that runs "fine".

That's very true. Will Acura RSX or TL wheels fit on civics? I'm looking for anything stock because rims get stolen like crazy around here wherever you go..

What model year, how many doors, and which transmission does your Civic have?

Yes, the automatic is slow. It's programmed for high fuel economy, not performance.

The HFP lip kit and Si accessories would be a complete waste of money because they don't do anything to make the vehicle more responsive.

IMO it's not worth the money to mod the car. Concentrate on school, get a good job, and then buy the car you want.

If you must mod, forget the cosmetic stuff. Start with a Cold Air Intake and an exhaust system that is a bit more free flowing.

If you feel that strongly about your lx then trade it in for a SI. If you're broke then rims, drop, and tint for starters.

Whichever rims you choose, check the weight in addition to the dimensions. Stock LX steel rims are 20 lbs.

If you install alloys that are heavier, and I believe the Si rims weigh a couple lbs more, you are adding more unsprung mass, which will negatively impact vehicle acceleration.

I had an lx sedan modded the crap out of it. Was very happy with it however nothing compared to how happy I was when I traded it for an si =P
