98 Hatch, my new civic

[yamaharider324]

Whats going on CC? Don't post too much on here but have been on for awhile. My ej8 is now my daily and has been through hell and back (cross country trips, snow storms, hurricanes.... boosted at 201,000 miles untuned at 8 psi until the manifold broke etc...) still running though haha. Now is at 215,xxx and counting.

Picked up this 98 dx on 12/21/12.

Some mods that I can remember/know of
99-00 front end swap
165xxx miles on body
80-90k on 98 b18c1 gsr swap
No name 4-1 header to high flow cat to yonaka cat back
SRI
Solid mounts
Lowering springs on aftermarket struts
16x7 rota gt3's
205/45-16 hankooks
White paint job which is so so... looks good from 10-15ft
Viper alarm system
Apline deck and speakers
Unknown LCAs and some kind of rear tie bar
Possibly some other things but thats the jist of it.

My plans are:
New coilover suspension of some kind. FnF1's or 2's, sk2, koni/gc? Still up in the air on what
DIY headlights: done
CTR mirrors: done just need painted
Different wheels
AP1 steering wheel
Better seats
Cage? X brace?
Possibly different mounts to reduce all the viberation

Anyways enough of the talk onto some pics:
How I picked it up

DIY headlights

Finished

Replacing radiator, it leaked alil at the top seam

Slapped my gunmetal SI's on it

Few iPhone edits for the hell of it

Few pics of my coupe, sadly the sir lip is gone... snow got the best of it
On my 16's

And the winter wheels haha

Thanks for viewing and let me know what you think good or bad!

Both cars need a good cleaning weather hasn't been the best lately. Sorry pics aren't better only have my phone at the moment lost my digi cam.

 

[R3dline]

what pics?

 

[DTvn]

What's with the zip tied license plates?

Love the hatch though

 

[yamaharider324]

Pics aren't working for you r3dline?

And the plate is just zip tied there because I don't like the stock spot in the front and in New York you need a front plate.
Thanks for the props!

Car looks nice. Done decent wheels and your set.

 

[Dre Da Kid]

Like! U may need to add side markers to reduce the white balance little.

 

[yamaharider324]

Thanks guys I'm in the process of getting a set of Kosei K1's this week don't know what color I wanna paint them though cuz they're just primed at he moment.

Dre- I'm actually not a big fan of side markers but I've seen pics of white hatchs and they look good

Still tossing around the idea...

Sweet hatch man, subscribed!

Cleann hatch man, welcome.

 

[yamaharider324]

What do you guys think of a real dark/metallic blue for the kosei's I'm picking up?

I've been trying to do something a little different from the "normal" colors for wheels (white, black, gold, etc..)

Been toying around these 3 colors: bright almost fluorescent green, safety orange, or a dark blueish/gray?

Already got those poweredcoated SI's and the gold 16's

Trying to find out what paint code taffeta white my car is so I can get these mirrors painted

 

[mymmeryloss]

I like white koseis on white cars

 

[mylovehx]

Looks good. If you ever boost this one, don't be stupid and get it tuned.

 

[Jeffhondadc5]

Where you at in NY?

 

[yamaharider324]

I like white koseis on white cars

I like white also but I feel like they will be almost impossible to keep clean haha

Plus I kinda want em to stand out alil more... But don't get me wrong that is still a possibility, picking them up tomorrow morning so then I can really start thinking and maybe PS a few colors

 

[yamaharider324]

Hx- I will definitely boost this one right if I do slap a snail on this one. Learned my lesson for sure.

Jeff- I'm in the 845 area about 45 mins from newburgh yourself?
