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...

I KNOW THAT CAR!!!! lol man, you should booost it, haha i'll come down and help ya out

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.

noice.... DX > ECOTEC :l

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

I've always had a soft spot for EK hatches. $2g, score!

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

i need to come down there somtime and visit ya, and oh yeha, you know what was wrong wtih my setup? the kid i sold the injectors to said he was having problems also, and come to find out they ARENT 450's theyre lke 290's or some ----...DAMNIT STEALTH MODE!!!! :7

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

oh snap :o

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

nice but it needs a lip.

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

so wat wheels are thouhs i have the same exact set and i have no clue wat they are except that they were on a miata they look beter in person mine are flack black a hbp civic sedan...

Re: the debut of my hatch
 

i never played with the ecotec, i ran the 1.9 twin cam :P its a pretty stout engine......who woulda thought ;)

I could see the injectors would be a small problem, but that still wouldnt add to teh fact that you couldnt start your car with the p28 (picked up a virgin one BTW) but could start it with the factory ecu........still though, id give ya props anytime on at least attempting what alot of people just talk about
doing.

You must be on H-T to make a post like that :-* I think its sexy the way it sits :-*

Again, They arent flat black, they are actually very glossy. Anywhoo, I got them without center caps, or anyother word of what they are, but i picked them up for $80 with brand new rubber. they were a polished color, but i quickly changed that for about $10. :D

Thanks for the props Beau! ;)
