Hatch is going to be taking another turn, I decided to cut my losses on my sedan, and I picked up a 92 accord lx coupe, black with grey interior, 5 speed, for cheap. it's going to be my new daily, and the hatch is going to be cleaned up more and then boosted with my single slam.

I actually did work to her last night too, dropped the fuse box and started pulling out un needed wiring from a relay kit i made for my fogs and HID's. I no longer need the relay kit for my HID's, and the fog light wiring is way messy. plus I had a seperate power wire running from the battery to the relays when i could have just tapped into one of the existing power wires.

so yeah that's getting cleaned up, once the accord is dd status (has a missfire at idle and failed emitions) hatch will get my full attention and sedan will be pulled apart and scrapped this weekend

Hatch is running and driving! miss driving this thing, but damn the seats i put together suck. car has an updated set up in it, same ol a6/z6 mini me but instead of an autozone 3" intake i have a tenzo r 2.75" intake from a dc integra, a throttle body spacer, I have an ex transmission, a high flow cat, and my stock ef9 cat back on for now. also bought a Pioneer TS-W304R 12" sub from my work for the hatch, and the sound quality is amazing! hopefully this 12 will last, i keep blowing them up

Just thought i'd throw an update out there, hatch is still running well, gave her a bit of a face lift (and *** lift?) with prelude fogs, ebay clear corners (would love to get some oem stanley ones) and jdm tail lights. I fixed my passenger head lights' fitment issue, when the hood was closed it looked like the head light was sucked in about 1/4 of an inch. now if i could just get my bumper to fit better, i swear the 88's were different a different size than the 89's. i tried using an 89 fender on my car, fit terrible. my front bumper is from an 89 hatch, and seems as if it's about half an inch too wide on the sides.

any ways next mods include replacing my window regulator springs with the propper coupe/hatch lift springs that i have laying around so they go up and down smoother and quicker, welding in 90-91 floor pan rail thingies so i can install my great condition ls seats i have, and boost. I have a full kit pieced together using a dsm 14b, and adapter plate and a stock civic std manifold. all that i need left is a restrictor for the oil feed, get a down pipe made, and get my pan tapped/welded for the oil return. oh and 2 90* elbows.

any ways here's how she's sitting right now:




long term plans include an sir front, sourcing jdm/euro door panels with LHD power window switches, and a full engine bay tuck.

making baby steps towards bad ***. I want to pick up another front body harness, perhaps from an lx sedan, so the power windows, mirrors, and cruise control are integrated, as i still want to ad cruise control to my car. I also want to build a custom engine harness, that uses a mill spec harness, and that is fully independent from the body harness minus the cluster wires.

took it out of hibernation for a night to test out the newly paved roads up at vista, OMG SO NICE. my suspension is sloppy as hell though, going to work on that soon.

went to the yard today, scored a cam, cam gear and crank out of a d15b vtec, can't wait to start building up a d15 for boost, should be fun hopefully pulling my d16 out of my car next weekend to fix some things on it and get my turbo mocked up and installed

woah just checked this thread, dwils no head work afaik other than it being milled a couple times.

Black R, they are from the 90-91 prelude. installation is fairly easy, the templates on the back of the bumper don't match the prelude fogs so it's a custom cut and measure, as far as mounting goes i removed the L bracket off of the top of the pivot bracket, drilled a hole in my bumper support and bolted the fogs to the bumper support using some teflon spacers to drop the fogs down low enough
