Icon6 1989 DX Build Thread "The Beast" Reppin For Orange County Baby!!! Please Enjoy!!!

Hello Fellow Honda-Tech Noob's And Guru's!!! This is gonna be my second build thread on here, my first one I was doing on here came to a screeching halt when I woke up one morning and my baby was gone!!!! I was building a 1990 si was almost done with it had suspension, swap, paint and all the goodies !!!

But now i'm back again came up on a 1989 DX for $700.00!!!! Has no name coilovers, came with two front aftermarket wheels pretty clean, J's racing replica wing, rear bumper with fog, and best of all B20 Vtec!!!!!!, B16 tranny with 5th gear gone. The owner said it runs but turns off when he drives it so he couldn't fix it and I came up sweet!!! Turns out to be it was just a simple Main Relay!!!

Runs like a champ popping Vtaaaaacccc left and right!!!!!!

So hope you guys enjoy the build I will update as much as possible with lots of pics as I go so thanks for viewing!!!!!

Now to the pics!!!!

Pics of my old hatch R.I.P!!!

Plans for the future are a better suspension dont know yet something I can slam this bishhhh with. Then some wheels with some deep dish cambered out to the max!!! I got a paint scheme figured out too I will post pics up later. Just saving money right now for that stuff.
