lurch's 95 hatch

Post by lurch95hatch »

finally decided to make a car thread. its not an outstandingly fancy hatch but she's all i got.

this was the first day i got her. not the best lookin engine ever, but i gave her some tlc and dleaned her up.
Image

she only wanted to show part of her butt lol
Image

this was after the tlc and pampering. that JDM DOHC ZC was runnin like a top for a while after a valve adjustment, oil change and a little paint.
Image

i did the blacked out tails and corners for a while because they looked kinda like poop.
Image

WHAT HAPPENED?!?!
Image

just my luck! my wife was 7 or 8 months pregnant and rings went out in cylinder 4 and had a HUGE blow by problem. sot then it was time to pull the ZC and upgrade.
Image

Image

Image

Image

the guy i had helping me had all the pictures of the engine bay cleanup, prime and re-paint and never gave them to me. so heres the only one i have in the "during" process.
Image

and here's some odds and ends for a little upgrade.
Image

and i ended up tuckin all the lights and other bits up front.
Image

and this is gettin ready for the motor to come in.
Image

THANK YOU HONDA FAIRY!

Image

took the wire harness and took it apart and cleaned it up and re wraped it.
Image

finally installed the CF spark plug cover
Image

and the engine is in! just gotta button some things up and lock it in all the way.
Image

and here was my parting gift from Virginia, hurricane damage.
Image

Image

couldnt figure out for the life of me why my brake lights wouldnt go off. and it turns out it was this tiny little piece of shit!
Image

thats all i got for now, but will be updating soon. getting several new parts and got new carpet. so if interested stay tuned.

Whatever happened to the ZC? Boat anchor now?
“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” - Bruce Lee

"In the spring you will bloom like your heart through the glass in the back of the ambulance. You turn and you turn and you turn down the street, one more turn, won't you come back to me? And as it turns, the red lights, they were turning into red roses, red roses. Red roses. I'm not giving up." - Steps Ascending by Thursday
