What are your plans for the engine?

 

[familycivicproj]

lol Turbo_freak take it easy lol thats an aftermarket option for making your rivals crash while racing. Good start on a car looks good and good luck with the progress i think the del sol rims look good on the car I just made my friend take his off the del sol he owns lol

 

[blackstarhatch]

I have been so back and forth on the engine. I was going to keep the Z6 and go the turbo single route, but the h22's on cincy craigslist have been popping up like crazy. The engine that is in it now is from my last eg before my brother borrowed it for the night and decided that having his brother's car means put it into a guard rail at 70mph. The Z6 was the only salvageable part!

Turbos are always fun thats what I am working up to do to mine lol and that sucks about your car and your brother hope everything is good with that and hopefully you can make this one a better project

 

[blackstarhatch]

I have Si's in the garage, but the mini 5's are quickly becoming my favorite OEM rim. I am trying to hunt down a set of speedmaster team orange but haven't had any luck yet

Thanks!

He came out without a scratch....Until I got a hold off him...

 

[familycivicproj]

lol yeah thats were I would have a problem I would ask if hes okay and then make sure he wasnt. I think everyone on this site likes si's I think the sol rims look good but it depends on what your wanting and have the sol rims painted they would look badass painted

 

[blackstarhatch]

I have a pic saved from H-T on my laptop off the Mini's painted bronze...It was the reason I picked up this set

 

[familycivicproj]

that would be cool im not a fan of gold or anything close to it but im sure it would look good what color are you gonna make the car or you gonna keep it fl black

 

[blackstarhatch]

Prepping for paint now, I am so stuck on battleship gray but it will probably be returned to the OEM Phantom Gray Pearl.

 

[familycivicproj]

nice choice in color what color you plan on using as an accent or are you gonna stick with the gray the wheels started

 

[familycivicproj]

have a pic ready when painted wanna see the progress sounds like its gonna look awesome

 

[blackstarhatch]

I have a ton of build pics that I throw up in a thread once I get everything stripped and sanded this weekend.

The worst pic of this hatch is when I picked up the shell...Its a crappy blackberry pic but believe me it is not far from what it truly looked like.

 

[familycivicproj]

you still have the rims that were on it or did your get rid of them

 

[blackstarhatch]

I still have them. They are on my buddies coupe right now. Those rims were nothing to write home about. They were AR 16's in very poor condition.

 

[dsettle1312]

did you buy that off cincy craigslist? my buddy was trying to buy it lol

 

[blackstarhatch]

Yeah I bought this shell of CL awhile ago. It got shelved in my garage for awhile until my brother destroyed my last eg.
