Back in the EK Hatch Game. No more EM1.
here's where i left my Civic Hype-R project at... 
my 96' EK when i first picked it up from lunchbox.
it was supposed to be my daily while i built my EM1 but i started dumping $$$ into it and sold the si shell wit no front end, interior, or suspension
did a full EM1 front end and had it painted, did rear disc brakes and a threw on some CTR parts...
after a month of having it...
... i traded the hatch back for my EM1 w/ a B20B but it was problem after problem and no a/c had me fed up..
after a week of having the si posted, i got offered a 2000 EK hatch on 5 Lug w/ plenty of goodies & a/c... so i sent Emily off to the 954
swapping titles.. here's how i got her
got my BOM valve cover back.. thanks to my boy laz
then got my CTR mirrors painted by enost and sidemarkers done by ninetails :hug:
car came with full EM1 interior.. power windows/locks, AP1 steering wheel....
added some color w/ blox lower control arms & beaks lower tie bar..
and thanks to my nii' kurtbaii for coming thru with crispy CTR headlights. it was worth the drive :hug:
here's how it sits as of today 8/16/10 ..
9/9/10: Traded the bumper w/ eBay fogs for a clean fogless one to keep everything OEM.
9/16/10: Traded C/F Spoonbill for a CTR Wing
9/25 updates: CTR Wing in the booth

Re: Back in the EK Hatch Game. No more EM1.
good lookin hatch man. looks like a great foundation.
do you have a 40/40 valve to go along with the 5 lug conversion? its a night and day difference!
