EK hatch in the works.

[kdog1818]

Well thought I would share my next project. As some of you might have seen the Lexus in my noob section well that car is complete for now so i've moved onto my next project. Picked up this hatch for $1500. Kind of my daily for now but i'm working on it slowly. Started gathering parts for it hopefully Russel and I will start knocking her out early next year. Gotta get her painted first. Thinking about ibis white off the Audi's. Anyway i'll keep you guys updated.

Got more parts coming in every other day. Will keep you guys posted on the progress.

[Zic]

Nice job, what rims are you getting?

[kdog1818]

In the process of trying to get some work equip 03's but the guy i'm getting it from is lagging really bad. Its been about a month now so i think i'm going to get my money back and just get some drag dr20's in 15x7+10 offset. I'd rather have the 15x8 works but i don't feel like waiting. Hopefully sometime next year i'll find a nice set of BBS Rs's.

[schroedin]

Get some of theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese.

[AccordKnight]

Great IS man seen it a quite a few shows and looks even better in person, can't wait to see the EK done up looks like its got some great stuff waiting to go on it already. Is it just the stock motors in it now? Got any plans for that?

[schroedin]

Damn, the RPF1s look so hot.

[Russell_G]

What up russ? How about some pics of that bagged yoda.......

Bagged yota? I scrapped the 2wd like a month after i got it. It froze up on the highways so i parted it and got a maxima for a daily while i finish my crawler.

[geminidubber]

Well shit russ hit me up on Facebook. Keenan Cook.

[Oxer]

You know I <3 Hondas!

Haha

FTMFW!

Looks like a great start, I did a few of the things you have done, like the suede wrap on the doors, when I first got my civic...

Cant wait to see more progress on this bad boy... :alright

[Russell_G]

Well shit russ hit me up on Facebook. Keenan Cook.

Done:)

[WhiteStripes]

RP's looked sick on the Lexus.

This hatch is gonna be clean. Looks like you're doin work already to me.

[kdog1818]

Thanks for rpf1 comments. Miss those wheels if i got them again i would get a lower offset front to match the concave of the rear. Suppose to get my fatmatt sound deadening in so were going to start installing that sometime this week if it warms up.

[kdog1818]

[Oxer]

FatMat has to wait until tomorrow or this weekend. Weather is so freaking cold in Colorado. Gotta start ordering engine parts now. I think i'm doing 82mm itr pistons than i gotta get the good old stuff for lsvtec gsr oil pump gsr water pump and so on. I'll be picking up a gsr head here pretty soon.

[AccordKnight]

Nice man thats gonna be a sweet build, and I feel ya on the cold here, haven't driven since it snow here last week, need to get the winter wheels on tomorrow.

[kdog1818]

For sure -10 yesterday sucked. I got snow studds on the civic. Haven't even seen the lexus for a week now. Better go check up on it.

[Oxer]

Sorry for my ignorance, Im not used to the ls and gsr termanology.. Shoot honda part numbers at me and Ill know what you're on about... But it looks like you're on the right track! N/A is best, even though My EG wont be na, i love the sound of an na vtec hitting 10k rpm...

I shall await updates :)

[kdog1818]

Pretty much a b18b non vtec block with a B18c vtec head.

[AccordKnight]

Yea finally drove my car to the tire shop today and my front right tire was flat, I'm pretty sure had something to do with this crazy cold weather, glad I'm throwing on the stockers tell spring now.

[Matt Jones]

I've been there!

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b390/kdog1818/redrock10.jpg

Lovely car, by the way :)

Can you tell me, why does everyone in CO smoke so much ganja? And do you know if a town called Evergreen is in any way famed for being full of simpletons? I hooked up with a little blonde while I was doing this (http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2499) and she was SO stupid.

[kdog1818]

Mostly people from boulder smoke the ganja heard of evergreen never ever been their.

[AccordKnight]

Lol yea a lot of people smoke out here probly cause in the winter there isnt shit to do and then a ton of people smoke when they go skiing most probly from boulder, I know quite a few people from and evergreen and I would say a lot of them are simpletons, the other half are very wealthy, one guy that lives by a good friend of mine has a carrea gt.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, we spotted some lovely houses when we were there.

I don't think they get many English people passing through, either. The girl I met was convinced I came from Australia.

Colorado seems like such a nice place to live. If I could find work in CO or CA, I'd be on the first flight out of London.

Anyway - sorry to jack.

[kdog1818]

Hey its all good. A little update i picked up a complete 99 b16 head yesterday for a really great price. I will be taking pictures of it later.

[AccordKnight]

Funny that you say that because my neigbors are from england haha.

Dam man when you set out to do a project you don't waste anytime, are you going to be doing all the motor work yourself?

[kdog1818]

Most of it. My cousin is going to watch over while i build it to make sure i'm doing everything right. Started putting the sound deadner in. Pain in the ass.

[Oxer]

You gonna match the b16 head to b18 block? Awesome! 10k rpm here you come!

[Russell_G]

Most of it. My cousin is going to watch over while i build it to make sure i'm doing everything right. Started putting the sound deadner in. Pain in the ass.

This guy...2days no show at the shop...That stuff is CAKE!!!!

[kdog1818]

Just decided to do it at home. Feel weird working on the car while you guys work on the truck.

[Russell_G]

Dont man...Its what we do at that shop. Id rather see something get done to a car in there rather then watch them rot away. :rofl

[kdog1818]

A little update. Fatmat wrap is almost done just need to order more for the doors and firewall. Got pics of the full b16 head. Got some wheels in drag dr20 +10offsets for now. Got some door speakers and rear speakers in mtx thunders don't have pics of those yet. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.
