Default Some pics of the hatch....

Haven't posted pics of her latley...just finished up the auto to manaul swap and putting in a 96 b18b1....took me about 6 hours the first day to take out the Dx motor and the auto pedals and everything...next day, put in motor, and finished up the manual conversion in about 8 hours...All by myself!

Prior to install I put in a ACT HDSS clutch and b16a resurfaced flywheel.


Got tired of the poor lighting of the projectors so put stock back on and amber corners:


15x7 Autek wheels(Made in Germany) painted gold on 195/50 yokohama A539s

Shifter..should've use black or clear silicone


Place Racing Auto to Manual conversion mount

Dirty motor pic

A little cleaner, I painted the valve cover w/Plasti-Kote Wrinkle Paint



Pic added: Dirty pic of my suspension
Koni Yellow coilovers-getting custom rate Eibach ERS springs soon

Another pic showing Power slot rotors with AEM Nissin pads


__________________________________________

New parts and new pics..thanks for looking:








GSR rear sway bar,2.25" custom SS piping and Koni Full coilovers:

Under the hood:

Lol....I get that **** all the time. Thanks for the props fellas. I'm just hoping that the place racing mount holds up against the ACT clutch. I heard of them breaking. Plus i've broke in the clutch so i've been having fun lately!

Like 3-4 heavy coats. About 10 minutes in between each coat. Let set overnight.

I feel you on the poor lighting, I'm switching back to stock as we speak... When it rains, all I see is nothing!

auto to manual swap was soooo easy! I couldn't believe how easy it was. As long as you have all the parts it's all plug and play! Easier than doing a swap IMO.
