my life in the honda game.

[tegSPEED813]

ok i got my second job when i was 17 and my mother couldnt drive me to work any more so i had to save up, i bought a 1990 4dr da. drove it for quit some time and then blew the motor, my brother then swapped in a b18b1. i eventually moved out and wanted to upgade. so i got a small loan. (im 18 at this point and live on my own). i bought my first eg hatch. it was a pretty clean 92 eg hatch(cx) with a b20z in it..after hitting 1 too many raccoons i had to get a front bumper so I, along with alot of the tuner world had a multicolored honda...





did many minor things to the car to make it mine...
then one day a very stupid person decided he was stupid and rear ended me, the day after i get the blades put on...




so i got some money and i buy this without the motor, tranny, exhaust and the rims...i got it bc it has a brand new paint job and i can swap all my interior, even though it has interior(mines better), and i can swap my motor into it...95 eg hatch(dx). and so this build begins.



i took my amber corners and put them on, and i took absolutly everything out of this hatch and cleaned it with brushes, and where there was little rust i wire brushed it, all in preperation for the interior swap.





i did the spray on bed liner and started piecing together the inside. this time i went and got all the plastics in and the rear wiper delete.







well swaped mirrors and front suspension, and did some minor interior work....i wanna drive it!!!!








at this point everything is done except the exhaust(bc the s pipe was bent), and i need to swap the rear suspension. very happy with the way everything worked out... but during the build we ran into a few problems, like the new hatch has a lil front end damage, which made the radiator sit at an angle, which would not allow the hood to shut all the way...we used a come-along and a pillar from the pole barn to pull it out...well here is a few before and after pics...

oh and yes i have a difrent c/v now. and yes i regret getting rid of the morroso one...










then i got on the road again.
and kept slowly modding it...






then i ran into a deal. i traded my b20z long block for a ls/v longblock that was also in a hatch that walked me. tore the motor apart and began the engine build. will have more pics of the engine build as soon as keith gets his camera from my brother.





here is my complete mod list as of the end of this build was becoming closer.

and then wednesday my car was stolen. this is what was left of my hatch that i picked up this morning.








yea i cried. more will be added...

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so april this year (2009), i bought a stock 97 ls integra as a dd, just to get into and go, i dont have pics of it bc it really wasnt anything special. i recently traded it for a 94 civic eg hatch!!
its got the basics and a lil more. my ultimate goal for it will be NA 200+HP and it will be auto crossed, yet still be my baby and DD. this will be a much slower build than my last one and i will be taking the proper security precautions this time also, so be on the look out for a build thread...

I had a strange feeling that this thread was going to end in the car being stolen. Part out what little is left and buy yourself something less likely to get stolen.

[5thgen_er]

wow.

[Scott90]

im sorry bro

[jow]

[HaZed]

sorry man!!! that sucks! sad ending to a good build!

[JDM Jones]

damn bro. I'm sorry. whoever did that has somethin comin to them.. karma is a bitch!

[tegSPEED813]

^lets hope so...

[Busternitroso]

dem!!! thats suks!!! fkin crazy!!!

so what are your plans now!?!?!

[lexusondubs]

wow that sux man sorry for your loss iam sure the rebuild will be bigger and better

[95gainfla]

sorry to hear about your loss dude but dont give up. thats why us honda owners have to think of shit like fuel cuts and quick release hubs on our steering wheels. its pretty sad.

[SuburbanNoize]

If I see another hatch running around with your interior, I'll run him off the road for ya.

[burgy240]

that sucks man!! I feel your pain. Its a shame too, looks like you did a lot of quality work too. Part it out and move on. as mentioned try something that isn't as common and less likely to be stolen. G/L

[sprjit22]

sorry to hear man. I dont know how I would deal with a situation like this.

My girl seen cops and a tow truck on the causeway monday picking up a hatch that was stripped.

[F4A22]

Sucks man thank god ive never been hit.
