Default New Project Car

Well, I finally got my hands on 5th gen hatch. I buddy of mine just had too many (he had 4) and I convinced him to let one go. No cash involved, just a trade for some stuff that I had and he wanted/needed. It needs some work, especially in the rear quarter panels, but it seems as if every older Honda in Ohio does. It is a CX with a Z6 swap in it and it has a couple of issues such as the bouncy idle and it stutters at partial throttle but shouldn't be anything major. Anyway, we all know these threads are worthless without pics, so here goes

I wish we had more people like that around here, instead everyone wants 3k for their rice rocket ef's. Congrats on the car .


P.S. I like the bungee strap for the exhaust :P.

Well, I gave him a low mileage Y8 that I had, a set of CRX seats, a set of Toyota Supra tail lights, a UR crank pulley for the Y8, a DPFI engine harness and I have to do a little stereo work on his hatch. So it wasn't free, but I think we both made out cause I wasn't doin' ---- with that stuff anyway.

As far as the exhaust goes, it is a Tuffy Muffler exhaust that is less than a year old, I have the warrantly paperwork so it will be repaired for free It just has a broken hanger in the rear and a busted weld a little further up.

Those pics were taken yesterday...I cleaned it up a little today, ripped out a bunch of excess wiring and swapped ecu's and wired up the vtec ----.

It also has a complete energy supsension bushing kit up front and a set of cheap coilovers on it and the other Del Sol wheel is in the hatch.

Thanks Chad....I got rid of the motor that I wanted that harness for, so I gave hime the harness too. He is gonna sell it to somebody else because he has a Z6 harness that he is gonna use on the Y8 that is going into another 93 hatch that he has, LOL. I still owe ya one for the harness. I can't put any real money into this thing anytime soon, I really need to work on the Nissan and get the SR swap done.

Hatches overall are pretty easy to find, the real quest is finding a unmolested/rust free hatch with a reasonable price. I'm still smiling because of the auction i won 90 SI CRX 250k unmolested ready for rapz0rz :P
