Ugly Ed - Honda-Tech

EF001282 · 08-04-2007, 12:50 PM

Well here goes, this is my pride and joy, my 89 hatch #001282, made in Japan but not JDM. I named him Ugly Ed because he is made for rough play and abuse. Ed is not meant to be pretty at all. this is a guy's car built for a guy, me. If you don't like Ed, too bad, he doesn't like you either. anyway here goes.

Ed in like most cases is an on going build, currently he is driveable, but has a long way to go. I will be adding more content as the days and weeks go by.
let me know what you think and of any issues/concerns that might come up.

exhaust pics, custom cut RSR from a DA

I have some new parts on the way, PIC selects, new wheels and tires, skunk2 upper control arms, rebuilt steering rack and I also have ex knuckle setup in front now

some older pics I found

late season update, new parts installed, PIC selects, new wheels and tires, skunk2 upper control arms, rebuilt steering rack and lastly ex knuckle upgrade

next on the list, interior work and detail engine bay more, relocate battery again to passenger side quarterpanel

I love Chicago. born and raised. Chicago is great city but most of the streets suck,potholes

Ed is basically just my nice day/ track/ street car. mostly just for the shear enjoyment of driving, no frills, no power anything, kind of car. the radio is there but I think Im going to take it out too, in the last 300+ or so miles, since start up, I have not had a desire to listen to music only the car and its noises. Also I'm looking for a roof plug.

Here are some pics from before.
my crappy KSports

original dash removed to be saved for later

rust to be fixed

my old dx beater on the left and Ed to the right

Ed is the "man"

biggee · 08-04-2007, 07:42 PM

how are you liking those Hankooks? I find them a very progressive tire...nice breakaway, not a sudden loss of traction. All in all I am really enjoying them!

EF001282 · 08-04-2007, 08:07 PM

from what I've driven on the Hankook's I like em, they are similar to Azenis rt615's and the come in 195/50r15. I haven't really pushed on them yet but I will soon.

tougetuned_ef · 08-04-2007, 09:01 PM

looks kinda like my car.
