Re: 1986 civic hatch build
Very creative bumper work, it is a very nice design.
Which engine do you have? Time to hit the junkyard to get some spare mirrors..... the hatchback is getting scarce and the mirrors from the 4 doors does not fit unless you bore some of the holes a tad.... at least I managed to get one spare for the passenger side, and did the same thing for the cluster, got one with the tach..... with almost the same mileage 140. |

Typical HT ricer boy, K swaps arnt the answer for everything. Way overkill. Swap it over to a 1.5 Si or a ZC swap. Thats plenty of power for these small cars. :)
I did a dpfi to mpfi and obd0 to obd1 swap in my wagovan for a d16z6 all the wiring I did myself. If its as easy as that I will be stoked. |

But I do plan on painting it olive green pearl. Putting in hids and I wanna lower it. Just kinda stumped in the pre 88 suspension right now. probably getting some ls webs or putting my sportmax 501's on it haha |

Re: 1986 civic hatch build
hey man i was just wondering how hard was it to replace the tach? did you have to rewire or anything?
|
Re: 1986 civic hatch build
I did the same thing, find the same vintage, 84-87 without the fuel injection, and it is a plain swap, the plugs matches. I have an 85 on the 86, I was even lucky to find a vehicle with only 2000 extra miles.

Re: 1986 civic hatch build
Great find! (And good paint work, too!)
I love that generation, all angles and pyramids. How much did you pay for it (if you don't mind my asking)? |

As to rears, you can try and find an old pair of jackson racing or lightspeed springs. You would be better off finding a set of lowering springs off an EF and lop off a couple coils.. Struts and shocks are no problem..:beer: |
