A few changes to the '98 Green hatch...

[99blackhatch]

Well, I came home today and decided to work on the car a little more than usual... empty house, empty garage, so I went at it full force. Got the engine in and bolted in and painted the "T" bracket and trans bracket.

Potts and JustRob came over and helped out A LOT. Thank you guys a lot for helping with the wiring, axles, and camber parts eating a lot of free food with me.


More to come in the morning. Bolting in the shift linkage, the header to the cat back, finish the wiring to get her moving again. Camber kit put on to the best it could be for now until it is aligned.

Got a little more done today. Shift linkage connected, header bolted up, traction bars bolted up, wire tucked a bit, more pieces painted black, and a few more things completed.

I took the RMF rep off due to the difference in the dump on the header to the flange on the cat back... I believe it was going from a 2" dump to a 1.25 test pipe. I didn't measure due to the noticeable difference in size.

I threw on the A'PEXi header since it would bolt up and I can take it to Omar's shop and have him fabricate something on the HKS test pipe that came with the cat back system. I'm willing to modify that short 12" piece from HKS rather than hack and cut up the RMF rep header.

Pulled this out of a thread where I stated it before...

[quote=99BlackHatch;203148]Once again... making it your own.

I do it too and get hated on at times, but when have I ever given a shit.[/quote]

We seemed ok at the time you had this going and then you got all negative and unhappy, and removed all your build thread pics. Hope your Integra is going well...



As for my engine bay... It looks like this for now. Still needs more work with some cleaning up and such, but this is it so far...

Old bay... Currently...

Now it just needs vinyl wrap and then the cage and then time to track it.

Also, been wanting this for a while... It might be a christmas gift to myself later on this year...


Or to also sum it up...
Like these...
Actually, I finally found the one I've been looking for for a year or so...

[99blackhatch]

Wrap is complete.

Whole car is done... New door pieces coming in a few days from Bryan still to complete the interior and to get power windows, locks, and mirrors. Sim Coat the interior panels as well.

The 99-00 Si lip was wrapped in black to do the job for now before the Chargespeed lip comes eventually and a few new replacement panels like undented fenders, carbon fiber OEM hood, and spacers for the wheels and bolting up the whole front bumper...

But on with the pics... The side skirts need to be cleaned up still a bit and the underside of the hood needs to be painted black, and the lip installed up front, but otherwise the car is done for the most part exterior wise except for realigning some panels...

[99blackhatch]

Yeah, a lot of spoilers to choose from... It's been annoying trying to find which one to pick.

Soon it should be caged and ready for some abuse for next year
