Default eg hatch in progress pics...body, engine, interior and 90 hp gocart pics!!

well I have had my car for 6 months now and have done tons of work to it. We are waiting on the acl bearings to finish the all mota d16z6. Fully tuned with 12.6:1 compression, PnP head with zex stage two cam. Can't afford rims, but enough with the talkin here are some pics for your enjoyment.
gotta start with the beer before you work!

here is me looking super tall next to the car...well you can't even fit a beer can under there on its side

here she is 75 hours later, trust me it can't be any smoother than this (not one wave) btw it was hit and required much work by my friend who has tons of experience, this is no backyard ghetto body work

here is the new color titanium gray, looks beautiful in the sun

my new interior 2k1 seats in perfect condition (front rear and center console for 400 bucks!)

here is my custom rear speaker kit. Made of 3/8" density board completely air tight. We drilled 1/4" holes in that removeable plastic peice infront of the rear speakers and wrapped it in speaker cloth, it looks factory. And trust me fellas the 8lbs of dynamat are sooo fu#king worth it. the car has almost zero road noise and that is with it still gutted, can't wait to put it back together

and here we are me and my friends custom go-cart built from scratch. this pic is 1 month old, now we have everything mounted except for the shifter. And that is a 600 V-twin honda motor with a 5-speed next to the driver, with starter and kill switch and fully functional reverse and tach.

hope you like and if anyone knows how to put avi format videos on imagestation let me know.

Why not shave those side moldings while you're at it?

cause the jdm slim moldings are sitting in my bedroom. the 92-95 hatchbacks are smooth enough i think that shaving the moldings over exemplifies the "roundness" of the car.
Plus i am painting the car a dark color and don't want any waves on the door. Damn Honda sheet metal is too hard to work with to make it perfect.....and I like perfect.

I am kind of curious to see the pictures/write-up of that gokart! Me and a couple friends were thinking about making a go-kart ourselves, I am interested to see how other people made theirs from scratch. Good luck with the paint on your car, and hopefully that built d16z6 is fast

the motor is a honda 600 v-twin. not a ton of hp but lots of torque. It will definitely move, total weight with driver will be ~350 lbs and with (just to be fair) 70 hp with a five speed
that gives the go cart a 5lbs per horsepower
now a 2003 dodge viper with 500 hp and 3900 lbs would have a hp to wieght ratio of........
7.8 lbs per hp !!! haha take that Mopar
