Thanks buddy. I got my new windsheild and Icon wipers. Great plan.



That's my most recent modification. Yay. It's been nutty great on fuel. I replaced my fuel tank sender and it's way more acurate. The tests on the old one vs. the new one were crazy.

 

Good Looking car had a question, what size is your steering wheel?

 

I have no clue. I can measure it at lunch. I got it from a buddy in Vegas for free. Found it in the worlds best junkyard. But yeah, I'll get the measurement at lunch.

 

So, I found a great spot to put my Mossberg 500. Looks great!



I have my CPL, but I don't think it'll stay there. More harm than good I assume.



Finally got my Driver's seat redone. Upholstery guy had leftover fabric from way back when. Looks great. Also had the seat and Corrado floor matts shampooed.

Bench seat is on its way, just won my new rear speaker trays off ebay. All coming together.

 

hey just a tip. i got a hatch just like yours with out a tach in it. i got another from to local junkyard. what u can do to keep ur accurate mileage is CARFULLY take off the front cover and bezel. behind the speedo is 3 screws i believe. all u have to do is swap speedos and ull end up with a cluster with a tach and ur original milage.

 

If you read the whole post (Not that I'd expect you to), you'd know I did my tach cluster swap around 4 or 5 months ago. Thanks though.

 

VW lip lookin' good!

 

actually i did read ur entire post. and i commend u for what uve done with that hatch but i also posted it for other STD owners who want a tach and thier existing milage. but for the record beautiful hatch.

 

Thanks. It's not an STD, it's a DX. Doh!

Been sick all last week, felt good enough to go for a lil drive tonight. Twas fun.

 

Nice gun

What does your tank work out to now? On my car, the first half is 200 miles and the 2nd half is 100 miles. I only get 35 MPG as it's an auto.

 

I get around that in the city. Unfortunately my car doesn't warm up alot due to a short commute. Should be better.

 

So, today I got my rear disc swap, in the form of a car. Yay. 1991 Integra 5 speed. Body is banged up, right front suspension is bad because of the old driver.

I am snagging the rear trailing arms, ebrake cables, prop valve, master cylinder and booster. Not really feeling the swap to a b18a1, so that's gonna go elsewhere. I am pretty sure the MPFI stuff wont work. Is that correct?

Is there ANYTHING else I should snag for a swap to my Hatch?

Thanks yall.

Here's the teg -

that swap would be perfect for you. YES the mpfi stuff is easily modified.

car looks **** man! looks like it's come a long way.
i just converted to mpfi, pain in the *** for sure.
keep up the good work. i vote yes on the b18 swap, badass motor.

edit**
my mpfi swap was only frustrating cuz little pieces kept coming up missing.(ecu pins, fuel pressure regulator, throttle cable mounting bracket, etc..) the actual doing it wasn't that difficult.

Hmm. Interesting. Can anyone confirm this? I am diggin my DPFI stuff right now due to fuel economy, but who knows.

I can't see it being to bad of a pain, but who knows.

 

car is looking damn good dude, just read the whole post...i'm thinking about doing the same suspension as you, did you write how much it dropped? maybe i missed it...

 

bump= for gppd transformation

A little over 1.25 inches. A lil more up front. Settled very, very nicely.

 

And the ravaging is almost complete!



This weekend, rear brakes come off and get all ready for a full rebuild (new bushings, bearings and brake components)

 

Here are some badass wheels, very old school and the VW crowd will hate you for having them. Well maybe not hate, but they will be jealous!


15" Riken wheels. They are very light.





Also as a side note, the drum brake setup is lighter then the discs. More weight hurts fuel economy.

 

I've seen those on MKII's. Pretty good lookin wheel, not really my style. I still like my HX wheels.

 

So, tonight the madness began. I had hoped to get alot more done, but when you work at the shop from 8am-5pm, it's tough to stay later than 7:30. Long day too. Blah.

The Integra is all parted. Shell is ready to get picked up once I swap in my rear drums off my EF. Looks like someone is gonna come buy it for $400ish. It still runs and drives. Just not legal at all and it's not gonna have any rear brakes. Lines will be pinched.



You'll notice how I had to load the back up with boxes fill of coolant to weight it down. Once I had it up on a rack, I could lift the back end of the car up. Weighted it down so it wouldn't fall off once I took the rear arms out. Also, you'll see my parent's marvelous GM powered trooper. Broke the timing belt last night when they were on there way to whistler. Luckily, it was under low torque at shutoff or start up, so no valves bent. That's my next project. Yay. Pops should have listened to his son. Blah.



Arms all off ready to go.



A stack of sweet parts. Not all of which I think are right or that I'll need, but that's the joy of having a shop and a backup POS E30.



Got one side all ready somewhat to go, then I just wanted to leave. Hungry, needed beers and woman was waitin. Yay.



Used this pretty lil baby to push the trailing arm bushing out.



I need to get back up there tommorow and get the Teg ready to sell. Slam my drum TA's into it. Get the arms the rest of the way done and get em in there. Gotta calculate up my TA bushing clocking angle related to my drop. Should be fun.

Can't wait to rip the teg around the parking lot. 4 death doughnuts, no exhaust. and no rear brakes. Should be rowdy.
