the debut of my hatch
 

So having been a member for i believe over 2 years, I think its time I get in on the fun. I picked this hog up late august for $2K from my buddy with 86K miles. It had an Intake, header and exhaust which i installed for him 3 days after he purchased the car 3 years before i bought it. After that..... just routine maintenance.
Quick Overview:
stock y7, 90K original miles
Lowered on Ksport Coilovers..........which Ive loved for every minute btw ;)
GSR rear sway bar
Short Shifter
ES Bushing master kit
Fresh OEM clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and throwout bearing.
And finally a worn input shaft bearing that continues to make noise :-\
Steelies and dumped :)

Near future Plans are a built y7/y8 mini me and some turbo boost ;) Things not pictured are a Turboxs RFL, and a walbro fuel pump, Autometer 3" Tach (got a good idea where its going....not ricey) Autometer oil pressure, and AEM UEGO wbo2 gauges. Also have the y8 intake mani with TB and vtec solenoid . still have lots of parts to gather (what a surprise), but it should be an exciting build. should be done around May i hope. Head and Intake Mani will be sent off to NY in January to have some porting done, as well as the whole head assembled with either a Ferrea or Crower valvetrain. Then the spare bottom end I have will be built, then the spare y7 tranny i intend to purchase will recieve some form of LSD or quaife. anywhoo, enough talk.....enjoy the pics :)

Looks nice.. though I wouldn't worry about the front sway bar and ----... honda's already have too much understeer as it is. I would stiffen up the back instead with an Si rear sway bar...

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

five stars flat black are hot =)

but hey, its better than a saturn ;)

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

i like the wheels and the whole car looks good with em

i bet it sounds like ---- DX with fartcan, bad combination

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

Those rims are like bad knock offs of knocks offs. :P Good luck on the build and I'd say just put on the head and boost it. Screw that porting ---- and save yourself some money and time.

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

haha thats not his fault, the dumb ---- ricer who had it before him did it, he also painted random pieces orange...wtf, im sure adam def fixed that ----. that hatchie is in waaaaaaaaaaaay better hands now.

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

Quite honestly, I dont think they are knock offs of anything. I havent seen any wheels much like them. Scrool down to see better pic.

Sorry Abaz, the wheels are actually a pretty glossy black, they are just dirty all the time because i dont have time to make it all pretty everyday. It will take some time to make it faster than my old saturn. ;) Reason why im going with a solid build before boost.

And yes Paul.....of course it is in better hands than before, notice the orange grill is gone. No bright orange H stickers.....I just cut the whole ---- out alltogether.

Thanks Bro! Yes it does sound like ---- :-\ But hey, Ive quieted it down a TON because riceboy before me didnt have a cat converter or resonator or anything but pipe on it before, I put a cat converter on it and a resonator on it to tone it down. I put them on to pass emissions, and go figure, with obdII where i live, its just a visual test, they look to see if you have a cat converter, test the obd port, and send you on your way, no sniffer test.
