Hello all! Name's Gio, and I just purchased my first EK. A 1998 Automatic DX Hatch. It's super clean. New paint and all! Just need to fix the AC. Needed to get an automatic for the fiance but I'm going to make the best of it! Current plans for the car are to buy an AC Condenser and repair my AC, find some GSR Blades or some Te37's and slap them on along with some window visors and call it a day. Maybe side markers and fog lights too. Thanks for looking guys, here are some pics of my new ride!

Thanks guys. I'm in southern california. Bought the car off an older guy and his wife. It was his daily. It's swapped with a jdm d15b vtec. So for an automatic it does have some kick to it while still saving more gas than my old LS. Just found a formfit bug guard so that'll be my first addition!

Awesome, I'm across the pond from you guys. Are you going to convert it to a manual?

How are you finding it compared to your previous honda?

Will do mate. Thanks! I'm definitely looking forward to all the info.
 
Appreciate all the warm welcomes guys! Just found out my water pump went out so changing timing belt and pump tomorrow!
 
Just a small update folks. With the holidays coming it's been tough to afford parts. But for now black housing headlights ended up under my tree thanks to my fiance. Cool addition!
