Default newbie/eg hatch

well dont know where to introduce myself so here i go,im 20 i have a 93 hatch,its been my project for the last 2 years,1st car was a 89 4 door sedan,well enough talk here are some pics,critisism welcomed,if you like it good if not dont care.

well it started as a bone stock dx hatch

1st day


1st week had to rebuild the engine since it had bad piston rings and bearings




here as soon as the engine started,i took the suspension out and cut the springs,and put 15 civic hubcaps with 14" steelies



here inspected registered and in front of ma house


here my friend and i decided to try hes wheels on my hatch and it looked like a truck

put the hubs and steelies back on and painted all the side moldings to match the paint also got er tinted




fogs installed,and black corners,here i started to lean to the rice side of the game.


blacked put head and corner lights with eyebrows


gay *** m3 sidemirrors



cleaned the engine bay

more rice for your eyes lol



now here comes the turnaround,this is when i found out about the JDM scene and lean towards it and im very proud of it no freacking big *** wheels or gay ****

got a set of blades with 205/65/15 tires(big tires)so i bought a set of 205/45/15 and put them on the hatch





arospeed coils since i was running on cut springs

amber corners and new front lip


removed the mudguards to paint them black again



mudguards on


got some cash and decided to repaint the hatch








got another d15b7 block and decided to rebuild it also and put a d16y8 vtec head on



diy oem black housin headlights with city lights

with some friends
as of now with headers cai,catback exhaust with stock muffler(yes i know i need a wire tuck)














and well some lady decided to back up on top of my hood with a dodge caravan and here is the result




heres the upgrade they gave me 1300 for the damage and got a new seibon carbon hood and new rad support




and well got tired of the steelies so decided to buy some 14" hubcaps and improvise a litle just for the winter since i took my gsrs off for winter.
heres is the result hatch is dirty and pics are dark






well let me know if you have suggestions or comments or critics dont matter.right now im in the prosses of buildint a high compression ls/vtec.will get pics as i get new parts.

Nice man, you've come along way with that thing. I used to rock painted hubcaps as well before I got my fat fives and probably will again if I'm ever somewhere that actually has winter. Good luck on the ls-vtec!
