Default Tomita's 96 hatch build

Whats up Honda tech

Recently picked up a black 96 ek hatch with a 99-00 front end for $1600 in october 2016. Before this i used to own a 1992 300zx na, which i sold in order to pick the hatch up. How it looked when i first picked it up
25$ full tank, so much cheaper compared to pumping 91oct in my z32
Always been into hondas, but never had the chance to own one. Heres a picture of my hatch with my cousin's cars



Couple of pictures of my old z build which i started in 2012

First things first, i had to buy a recaro seat. Just had to, since it was something ive always wanted and because i had the chance to buy a clean one from my cousin.
Next up on the list was suspension. had to get the Exceed SSD (short stroke dampening) coilovers. Believe the spring rates were 14k F / 12k R.
Ride height before coilovers
Ride height after coilovers installed. Not maxed out, but pretty low for now 😁 Pulled my 350mm personal from my old car, and installed it with a NRG quick release and an ASR billet hub.
