Default A kid's car (nothing crazy)

Hey guys, I'm 17 and picked up this 93 hatch Si last summer. I was lucky to find a clean virgin hatch, especially with it being white exterior with black interior. Anyways, I've swapped a b18a1 into it that was converted to obd1 and put some ARP studs in it. Got a 99 LS tranny and put a Clutchmasters FX300 in it. Looking to piece together a turbo kit over winter and hopefully have it installed the following summer.

Here's a little timeline....

First bought






Color matched side moldings, Vision amber corners and Tein S-Techs




Before and after of rear interior tuck/repaint







Stripped down, little tuck, and motor build















Rota GT3/Hankook RS2 205/50/15



Motor dropped in




4x4 status with OEM JDM EG6 side moldings






Real Spoon duckbill (still jacked)






Well thanks for making it through that rather long post. I've done a lot of little things to clean the car up, such as repaint the wheel wells with undercoating, paint little engine bay brackets, paint wiper arms etc. Koni/GC suspension will be here in a couple weeks, then I can finally get low. Hope you enjoyed the ride.

If you're into the scenery thing, small town thing, go to the Vancouver Islands. Check out Tofino if you're into surfing. Canada's ocean is cold though, it's no Mexico Or I'd hit up the East Coast, such as Newfoundland, New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia. Or, come in the winter and go skiing somewhere in BC or Alberta. Prairies, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, there's nothing special. I don't know what I went into all that detail, but hey

Was your interior painted at a shop or yourself? If yourself what did you use? spraycans, paint gun...?

It was done by myself, I used Tremclad exterior paint. About 6 coats of white and 3 clear. Turned out really well I think
