My EK hatch Project.

So ive been here for a few months and i havent really showed you guys my hatch. Ill start from the beginning and tell you about the little things ive done so far and the things to come. Enjoy and give me some feedback!!!

The day we brought her home, 99 civic hatch DX 126xxx miles. only 850 bucks =)



Peeled off the stickers and pinstripes


Me and a buddy decided to try some DIY black housing headlights. Turned out well i thought.



From there i have done a few things, put an ebay exhaust on (original was put on by hose clamps and tack welds :what: ) Put a 65 shot of nitrous on it for some fun =) just tried to keep it clean. Also got some 13 inch meshies to get rid of the steelies.

Heres how it sits today.






What you see.....


What i see ;) i tried to hide it as much as i could... =)



Interior shot. Dont rant about the pedal covers. I put the full throttle switch in with them on so without them on it wont hit the switch right. Too lazy to care about changing them right now.


Engine shot. Can you see and nitrous lines?


The goodies being hidden as much as i could


More goodies


About a week ago i bought a stripped crx from a buddy that he aquired for free. With it came the white meshies, a 5 gallon fuel cell, a nice shifter set up (was told its worth some good money brand new?) and an F23a1. All of this was had for $125 =)

Playing with the idea of a turbo F swap.. Yay or Nay??




Heres the crx lol, its being crushed in a few days



Lowering springs are coming tomorow or monday and i havent decided what else im gonna be getting. What do you guys think?!

Wheels are temporary until i get what i want. TBO i HATE mesh wheels like that but its better then the steelies i had on it so im content for now. Nitrous i had on the focus and decided to put it on the civic. Havent shot it through once yet and its not even filled so idk ha.

Damnnnnnnnnn I miss when my car looked like that!!!!


Dude, ditch the nitrous lol, shits old. Turbo the D. Itll be too much work to swap in that F, get it running properly, then boosting it. Turbo D would be so much easier lol, I <3 my Turbo D.


Anyways, hatch is looking decent for a start, glad you took off those gaudy stickers though. Could the Type R sticker be ANY more croooked? hahaha


thumbsup from me.

dude... how much would you sell the F23 for assuming you dont use it...
 

Krueger

Zach
Umm i was thinking about selling it, but i have no idea what i would want for it.. Shipping would be a real b***h and be expensive though. You thinking you might want it?
 

Krueger

Zach
Was thinking of painting the wheels maybe a bronze color? What do you guys think? Also picked up some cheap racing seats that will be put in soon and window tint should be coming this week soon.
