Just picked up the new hatch. Need feedback.
The basics:
92 cx
b18c1 full swap with papers
full hasport mount and linkage kit
mugen sw36 steering wheel
spoon shift ****
j's racing intake
j's racing carbon fiber bumper vent
apr carbon fiber f-1 mirrors
spoon duckbill spoiler
carbon fiber hood unknown brand
15" rota circuit 8's
falken azenis tires
cheap coilovers
e.s. oval muffler with 2" exhaust
The guy i got the car from had the car put together about a year and a half ago. In that time he never changed the oil or any maintenance for that matter. so it was very dirty and had a pretty beat down look to it. I ran some seafoam through it changed the oil and plugs and did a compression test. Got 210 across the board. It does however smoke from worn valve giudes im assuming. Also had a very bad vibration in the front from 35pmh and up which i diagnosed as a worn axle. Put together a 92 integra axle and mid-shaft i had layin around in the garage and that took care of the vibration. Also had the blue vinyl seats in it which i quicky yanked out and threw in some dx grey cloth seats. The swap was done at Intec in Seattle which is a very reputable Honda shop. And thats where it sits now with lots and lots of cleaning.
The engine bay when i got it.
And after
The rest of the car
So what do you guys think?

Re: (a1320honda)
Got some more done to the hatch.
Before
Also did another DIY groundwire kit. Prolly kinda hard to see.
Next is to pull the carpet out and repaint the rest of the inside.
Thanks for all the positive comments guys.

Ya im thinkin about yankin the motor out and doin some wire-tuckin. But ya, its cleanin up really good. im very happy with it so far. And considering i gave up a 12 second dsm for this....No regrets so far.
