Default !gen2fanatiC's EFhaTchie BUILD THREAD!!!wo***

I got tired of my old 4door thread, and since I got a new project car, I decided to start a new one!!!>. here it goes..

1991 Honda Civic SI hatch...

I picked this car up off my boss for super cheap because he was going to scrap it, so in other words, I saved this hatchies life. I feel good.
So in the next few weeks/months (you know how it goes ) I will be swaping/ painting/ cleaning./ you name it/ to this car. Feel free to watch along


At my work, the day I bought her..




Now home, she looks like this:




Comments, questions, suggestion welcome

Stock 1.6 had no compression, which is why i got it.

<U>Quick List:</U>
B18a1 (mild wire tuck, major bay cleaning, Rywire harness , )O
LS trans
Ebay clutch
Ebay mounts
Egay linkage and shifter (on order)
KYB GR-2 struts with APEX springs
wheels (rotas/SI's/gsr's (can't decide))
exterior upgrades

many more, and I gots all this **** laying around

Not to mention, the interior is MINT! no bolster rips, all floormats and everything. I am the second owner of this car, and the original babied it, and kept it clean with always having a fresh coat of wax on... that what I'm talkin about

I started on cleaning up the bay since I gots everything out, will have progress pics up of that tomorrow after work...

But for now, by far my fav. shot of the new hatch

Im sorry, but its my taste. you don't have to put it on your car, but im gonna leave it on mine, at least for now. plus the green on the badge matches the car

**UpDatEs****

First, I removed all the wiring, and carefully pulled out the clips for the wiring, pulled it all back for cleaning. removed the front suspension, and got rid of all un-necessary clips, brackets bolts.



Then the wife and I went to town on the bay. Using simple green (automotive), we got most of the bay cleaned. I'd say the rest of the 15% will be done tomorrow night after work.



night
