Default EF hatch v.new pics{?EFsquad?}

Well I bought this a year ago and have done a lot of work to it. It was turbo when I first bought it but I eventually took it off because of the way it was set up/rigged up Alabama style. I have been slowly getting some parts to turbo i t once again but do it right this time. After tax time next year I will be finished and have it tuned. Hoping for ~350hp. That should be able to satisfy me for a little while.

Here are my mods so far.

Engine:
JDM B16A
Lime green valve cover, tangerine spark plug wire cover
Rebuilt bottom end to stock w/ low comp. pistons
AEBS intake manifold
Short Ram Intake
DC header
Full 2.5 in. exhaust w/ flex pipe, no cat, small glass pack, turboII muffler and stainless tip
Blue Magstar plug wires
NGK G-power plugs
B&M fuel pressure regulator
Unorthodox Racing lightweight flywheel
Shaved crank pulley
Energy suspension shifter bushings
Yonaka Motor Mounts
B&M fuel pressure guage
Phearable.net p28 chipped ecu
Phearable.net OBD-1 conversion
OBD-1 B16 distributor w/ jumper plugs
4 wire O2 sensor
Engine bay has been semi-tucked - Fuse box moved to passenger side of dash, clutch cable hidden, carbon canister removed, brake vacuum line moved, resistor box moved. All wipers and motors removed. I think all I really have left is to clean up the wires a little more and tuck the headlight wiring

Interior:
B&M short shifter
Grant GT steering wheel
Auto Meter 5 in. tach w/ shift light in air vent
A/F gauge
Oil Pressure gauge
Pioneer Cd player w/ remote, 2 6.5" Pioneer door speakers, and 2 6.5" Dual speakers in the rear
Hayame carbon fiber pedals
Del Sol seats w/ blue stripe
Type R shift ****
Red Gauge cluster lights
Check engine light on a switch
Rear seats and plastics removed

Exterior:
Painted flat black but has a sparkle in it lol
20% tint
Polished Rota Slips - like new
215/40zr16 Falken FK452, 6/32 tread left, slight, slight camber wear
90-91 Tails
Spoon style mirrors
Sidemarkers
Clear bumper lights
Amber Corner lights
Front emblem and washer sprayer's shaved
Removed front bumper support
Rear Honda Emblem from "secret source"
Skate sticker set up on center tail light garnish

Suspension:
No name blue coilovers on stock struts
Adjustable front upper control arms
Tenzo R front upper strut bar
No name rear strut bar

On to the pics

Get rid of the stickers on the back other than the center garnish and it will look 100x better. Flat black EF !!

Thanks guys

4DRMAFIA - Yea, they had the top half of the stock mani w/ some crazy bends and welds going under the cross member back up to the turbo. Alabama rigged top mount lol.
So I snatched it off and started finding parts for my next turbo set up.

It would look so much cooler if it was actually a color, IMO.

flat black is not too bad, it's the wheels that kills it. Too much polish area.

I got the full polish to stand out against the flat black. Rolling, I'm told it looks sick.
