Thanks for the education on the "hoopty". lolololololol that Honda is a master Hoopty. Can't stop laughin. Guess I've owned a hoopty or two over the years, 67 Belair Wagon with on door skin missing, looked like a cutaway view, window still worked, 79 Caprice with more screwed on patch panels, called it Chevenstein cause of the screws. Hoopties all. But I never had the creativity of that Honda. Still laughin. You've mad my day!

no way anyone would let you get that close to such a pristine piece of automotive art, next time I want a pic of you with it or you diddnt see it in person!
and I think we have all driven a hoopty at some point lol. The urban dictionary did a pretty good job of summing it up

If you want to do it, go for a 3/4" spacer on the front, which will give you 5.25"", and go 4-4.5" in the rear, it will actually look nice, I had mine like that till I fixed up my transfer case drop kit, then I decided I didn't like it because it squated too much in the rear when loaded down, plus it's a pain in the *** to see out your rear view mirror, so I took the spacers back out to level out at 4.5".
Oh and in socal, where I live, we call em brodozers...seems like every white dude with a ranger, silverado, f150 and a tapout/metal mulisha sticker on their trucks do it....lol
Btw is this a hoopty? Lol... My first car when i was 16, except not as nice...chicks digged it from what I know lmao! My varsity basketball caoched named it the SS Sanders...my last name. I thought I was a BAMF ! Lmao !

Sadly that pos crx is 5 blocks down the street from me. First time I saw it the owner was driving it rocking a mullet, wish I have gotten a picture then.
