Default My EK Hatch...







And I liked this picture even though its almost the same as the first, just camera phone on the ground.



Yes I know, it needs a front lip, all will come eventually, car is a bone stock 2000 with H&R Race Springs and KYB AGXs and 15" Rota JMags, even has the stock air box.

Bought it bone stock and put everything on/in there that it has.

Yes, it will eventually get a swap and much more once I have a place to keep it safe, I have an alarm coming for it soon, along with power doors, it needs to be retinted since the tint job on it sucks (bought it like that) so it will be 5% all around.

But I like the way it looks, with a Si lip it will finish off the exterior for me since I like the simple look.

Its fun in the corners though, I forgot to add in the first post I also have a strut bar on it which made a small difference, have quite a few more suspension/chassis stiffening parts coming in still.

It isn't bad for a camera phone, jeez, I'm too poor to afford a decent camera right now... lol

I thought that too, but the other two cars with this setup sit about the same but are 96s with the Type R lip on them and it looks better I guess, it sits the same but I'm running some BFGoodrich Fuzions 205/50/15 and the sidewall is bubbly as all hell. The car sits decently low though, it rubs the front on some bumps (goddamn Florida roads).

Yeah that Integra was mad ******* clean, I loved the way it looked, I was looking for a DC but I got a real good deal on this and since my silver hatch had been hit I decided to pick up another 2000 in a different color.

And ECAhatch lol WTF Mate?

The setup rides now, for daily driving I have the front shocks set at 2 and the rears at 3 and it rides awsome, a lot stiffer than stock (Thank God for that), also have a bunch of things coming since I enjoy taking turns in the car, camber kit, subframe connectors and all that jazz, etc.

Oh and side mirrors are coming, the stock ones are huge on the car so I'm gonna get the smaller JDM y0 ones.

Just wanted to give Honda-Tech an idea of what I drove and whatnot.

Thanks for the comments!

it's kinda hard to see the pics. but looks pretty good. i would have went with the silver jmags though give the car a little contrast. the black on black with black tinted window. is a little much.

Nah, I actually LOVE the way the car looks, I'm buffing out the headlights when I get a chance to clear them up nicely and the car will be getting 4300k HIDs soon also.

I'm not into the whole JDM look and I LOVE the wheels the way they are with the polished lip, I tinted the car because I simply don't like having people see me while I drive or thieves staring into the side windows when I could have my school back pack in the back seat with my laptop or anything else. I'm tinting the side windows and the rear, front is retaining the stock tint strip that is on there from Honda.

Black on Black on Black, I love the look and the headlights, rim lip, emblems, and tailights can contrast everything else.

I'll get better pictures as soon as I can, we should be going on a cruise sometime this week so I'll be sure to post pics of a couple other hatches I'm with, with a lot better camera.

I'm with you on the tint bro, a lotta HT'ers aren't from Florida so up north I guess tinting is pretty much cosmetic, 5% FTW!

Some contrast would go a long way on your hatch, but as long as you build your car exactly the way YOU want it, then its all goood.

Yeah Im with you I have a black coupe with all black rims. I took my emblems off and painted them black too, I love the all black look.
I don't have tint though.

Someone else said it but it looks way to high to be race springs, I guess its the angle. I want mine low. Ill try my shocks out on 2F/3R too, Have you gone any stiffer? Im the same as you I want to make my car really stiff because I like to take turns fast quite often, and I might autoX it.

I haven't really tested all the settings, I plan on setting it all the way up to 4F/8R and seeing how that is with turns, although I'm expecting to run 3F/7R with the way it feels right now, I can take the front through turns but the rear is where I'll have to figure the adjustment. That and I REALLY need my subframe connector and sway bars and all that good stuff to help this car out.

The car isn't SLAMMED at all, but it sits low enough for me, I already rub the front enough through some turns and potholes out here are a pain in the ***. Slamming a car ruins the handling, trust me, you'll love the H&Rs and KYBs, just figure what setting you like the KYBs at for daily driving, dragging, and turning/AutoX and you'll enjoy them.

And just like DC4Shocker said, Florida, well our sun beams on us during the summer and no tints is horrible, 5% and cold a/c is wonderful in the summer because the tint keeps the sun away from you and the a/c keeps you so fresh.
