I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

My 1997 Civic Hatch

Post by Danny (tJDM) » April 10, 2007

Hey,

Well I heard of the Forum from .saint when he joined talkJDM.com (another JDM Community Forum, which I own, if any of you guys wanna check it out you're more than welcome ;)). I never really got around to making an account on here, so I decided to make one today ... Anyways, about my car, I rescued this Hatch from Ricerville a mid last year - it had 18" Wheels, Ractive Dual Tip Exhaust, and Full of "Gun Shot" decals, lol. I didn't have a camera since my nephew slammed it to the ground and broke it, but I took some pics with my Cell Phone, before I started to work on the car.

I was saving up for awhile, because I knew that the only way I would find a Hatch down here (Florida) would be a Riced Out Hatch, so I needed to take care of that first. In other words, there aren't any Engine Mods just yet, except for the Aftermarket Headers (OEM's were cracked), but I am still saving up money for the Engine Stuff, so dont worry about that. Anyways, here it is, hope you enjoy ...

Pics of When I Bought the Car: Image Image Pics of the 18" Wheels (Which I hated!) Image Parts (As They Arrived): Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image In the process of Black Housing OEMs: Image *Now I got Gun Metal SiR Headlights*

Pic of the Car After Most Parts: Image Now Here's some pics from 9/29/2006 ...
