My ek hatch build
Hey picked this up from my friend for a very good price. Just needed some small things done to make it perfect again. its got a 97 spec jdm b16a. apexi exhaust. no name intake, and fuel rail. Ive never done any body work, so it was all a learning experience. on to the pics!
how i bought it
stripped down the front
Taking the rad support off. this side took like 2 hours, other side, no joke like 15 mins.
Fully off
My 2000 civic ex (for sale, check my threads)
Threw in a pwjdm shift boot, and wink mirror(no pic of mirror)
As i waited for my new rad support, i put in a bwr cam seal, valve cover gasket, new plugs and wires. i cleaned up the engine and trans, but i dont have a pic of it all cleaned up
Put my gsr blades on
Finally came in . prime
paint
my driveway-temp-ghetto-work area
My buddy doin what he does best
almost done!
Finished product. The cars a 96, and i really wanted the 2000 front. Got all the parts from sorta-fit for 250.. not bad. and imo, it came out nice
Afterwards, i fixed the hood latch. adjusted the hood so it sits flush. cleand the sh*t outta the interior. mounted a small tube sub in it.
Future plans: it needs an now oil pan gasket, but besides that... It needs a paint job (once my coupe sells). MAybe a turbo, maybe. but since its my daily, i might just keep it how it is wiht some bolt ons. I was thinking a sk2 pro series intake mani, with a pwjdm whale dick. New headers. An thats about it. Roof rack, since snowboard season is comin. New seats, i would like 03 si seats. Please feel free to comment, including sugestions. Negativity will be ignored.
