Your nick name should be '1000, 1500, 2000'

 

Did I seriously just read through all 21 pages? Yep. Do I regret it? Not one bit...

Definitely my favorite build thread so far!

 

hahaha Those are my favorite sand papers.

haha thanks man.

I had some time in the afternoon to fix the fitment of the side skirts. And they came out looking soooo much better. I'll post better pictures later.

 

South Florida reppin!

 

xtoplinex,

I was into the Honda scene for about 15 years now. Having owned over a dozen hondas over the years ... Was deep into the game when my ground-up EH was stolen and never recovered. Upon the theft, i essentially dropped out of the game and sold off ALL of my honda stuff. Vowing to never get into the game again. That was, until i stumbled into your thread.

It is you and your thread that has single handedly re-inspired me to get back in. After being out for 2 years, I'm proud to announce, I went out out and purchased a 96 hatch and have already ordered my first round of parts. I know you get plenty of love, and are probably used to it by now, but ... I really mean it, thank you for your build and all of your hard work. For guys like me, its the simple things that can reignite a love for the scene, and you did it for me. Thanks man.

That is awesome to hear man. Thieves can mess everything up for you, especially with Honda's, but I'm glad to hear you're jumping back in.

 

Wow, I was speechless for a bit.. not going to lie. Thanks alot man. I'm glad I inspire you. You seriously just made me realize why I fell in love with the import scene... It's that respect people give to one another for all their work, and efforts. Thanks once again.

 

Wow love the attention to detail, a true Honda owner.

 

Thanks man. I got bored and decided to make an intake for my turbo. It gets wayyy too hot in the engine bay.. so with some pepboys piping I placed my K&N intake filter further away form the block. It didn't come out too bad. I'm pretty happy with it. Later down the road, I'll get it made in aluminum.. but for now, this will do.

How my intake looked before. =(


Without it:


And with the new and improved intake:




I'll probably be heat wrapping it black.. cause the chrome looks alittle much IMO..

..And now looking at that old pic with the Cusco Blue VC, I might just have to do my VC like that again. haha

 

New tires 225/45/16 on my 16x8 +35 Regas.

 

So my tires in the rear are rubbing like crazy, so I decided to buy a Hardrace chamber kit... the quality on this thing is pretty awesome compared to the Buddy Club.. I'll see if I can get a chance to install it tomorrow.

 

Annnddd at the shop now getting some love. It's finally going to be receiving it's new injectors, along with a nice dyno tune... I'm shooting for 350hp to the wheels, lets see what happens.

 

Cleaned up the Vibrant Pulley.. and it's ready to go.


I also removed the tranny for a clean up... I stripped it down to bare metal, applied high temp primer, than I applied 3 coats of silver.. that should do the trick.

 

Sick build for damn sure. Change of heart on the side skirts? It looks so much better with the oem skirts IMO. I am looking through the thread at work, the transformations just keep getting cleaner and cleaner. Much props on the rear diffuser too.

In terms of tucking the radiator overflow, did you run into any problems? Any tips for me (mounting height of the overflow compared to the radiator, what type of curves to avoid with the hose)?

 

G/L man! cant wait to see the dynosheets n vids

 

Thanks guys.

Thank you. The only problem is that it had alittle kink (The hose leaving the radiator, and in front of the radiator) Other than that.. it was fine.. But I had to move it from the location it was at because of the intercooler piping.

Car is almost out the shop.. I finished adjusting the chamber, and I also dropped the car alittle lower.. looks 10X's better.. I should have my car up and running by tonight.

 

Testing out the new Camera. Awww yeeeee.

 

So I missed how my VC looked in Cusco blue so I went to the paint shop to pick up some paint.


Did a quick photoshop.. so the VC should look something like this.

 

So I got bored and started to polish up the turbo piping...It's coming out pretty great.

 

Look nice

 

Thanks.

And here are some new pictures that were taken tonight.

 

21 pages of win! :bang: subscribed! we got to link up one day and take pics man. of course I'm a horrible photographer lmfao.

 

Haha sounds good man. Thanks.

 

incredible build inspiring would like to do similar things to my 91 hatch.
