Default .Hatches. Harvard Blue Hatch project!!

Hey guys i'll update this thread as i go along with my project. Got the car for a good price (1995 vx or cx I DONO) and jumped on it when i saw the underbody and how new it looked, especially the fuel lines Only rust the car had was the rear quarter panels

how i got it first








mint custom sunroof done by previous owner about 6 years ago, NO rust nor leaks



Tuned by razo= No more tunning BABY



first thing i did was send the car in for paint and quarter panel removed. well after two and a half weeks of waiting and checking it out everyday here's the outcome:

H2B kit ARRIVED

Not true. I had my stereo stolen and the thieves destroyed that piece. It looked worse than yours. I had to get a new one from the junkyard. You'll need to remove the dash and COMPLETELY take it apart to get to that piece. Just try to remember where all the nuts and bolts go.

Good luck on the project.

awww crap so the only way to get that piece fixed is by removing the whole dash? I was trying to avoid that cuz on my last DA i removed my dash and when it was assembled it started to make noises.


anyways thanks for the replies

ok got some amber corner and amber sidemarkers. bought f2 coils 10k front 6k rear with blox rear control arms. Now i tried installing the rear coilover now and took one bolt that connects the shock to the control arm out. than it started pouring like a bitch so had to stop working on the car so quickly put everything back on except that bolt!!! is it safe to still drive with the car like that since it's only one side in the rear?

awesome progress. I have the F2 coilovers... set them low (12 front/8 rear) and it'll be a great, firm ride. anything higher and it gets to be a little rough on the spine.
