Yeah... a lot of work for a basic honda that you could have bought for about the same money and no work...

wow.. I sound really lazy for a guy that swaps dx motors (waste of time...???) I'm really lame... sorry to have my first post back be gay

yeah, but you figure i got a 95 ex rollover for 500... so thats engine/tranny/all interior... not bad, but when you consider i had like 4500 into building up my crx and then threw it away on this pos(when i got it) it kind of sucks, but im happier with this hatch than with my crx

Well if everything is just pure randomness that it matches the car, I can't really judge you on it. But it did seem like you were trying hard core to be all colour matched to your interior, and that phone, cd case, shoes just happened to be sitting there when you took the pic. I was thinking more along the lines of the yellowbiRd picture in the other post. I think if I was ever taking pictures of my car, I would clean it all up first.

that's why I'll never take a picture of my car, it stays in a perpetual cloud of dust like pigpin.

working on that, but for a few more years its gonna stay stock, college is gonna eat away at me, this was my last big project until college is over... and its fast enough for me right now, just a daily driver... but when im done with college, or get some money im sure i'll start piecing together a kit

ah, it runs probably 96%... its a slight bit smokey, im not too worried about it, i actually think i might just need a new head gasket

no doubt you could take me, lol, your hatch was perfect, the only thing i'd like better was if it were phantom grey

but i'd say everything came out nice, btw if you ever see a hatch come through the hook up let me know i'll have ya grab me a couple things

Have you tried to fix this yet?

Check your pvc system for blowby.

Check compression to ensure rings are holding.

If it smokes on startup then it's most likely valve seals.

Are you still running a cat? If you are then prepare for a lot more smoke when u remove it.
