Level 7 Motorsports EK build

[skittle_107]

[center]Some of you know me, most of you don't. My name is Scott Bittle, I work for the State of Illinois and I have a lovely girlfriend named Taylor. A little back story about myself. I've alway been into Honda's. I've had a few, but this one and the last one is when I started actually modifying them. Before this hatchback, I owned a Honda S2000. I wanted to get rid of the S2K because my girlfriend goes to school in Georgia, and driving the S2000 there and back is not comfortable at all, and I didn't like putting all the miles on it. Here's a couple pictures of it






I shipped it out to a gentleman in Las Vegas. I ended up picking up 99blackhatch's hatchback. It was pretty rough.



I wanted Jesse Vaughn to do the work on it. He owns Level 7 Motorsports located in Marion, IL.




Towed it home on a Friday night on the account of 2 broken wheels studs
The next day we replaced all the front wheel studs on both front wheels, installed steel braided brake lines up front, bled the brakes and took it for a spin.



It was throwing some codes and stumbling on itself upon acceleration. 2nd gear syncro's are missing upon deceleration. Decided until until monday to go through it. My buddy Jesse at Level 7 Motorsports is the one helping me out.

Monday rolls around, he checks it over, rewires the conversion harness, wires the O2 sensor that was cut, adjusts the timing, puts new plugs in and fresh gas and its running like a top, excpet for 2nd gear, boooo

This weekend, I'm going to go to Zero Lift Auto Lab in Cinnci, OH and pick up a SIR front clip, to go back to the 96-98 front end.

said front end




I look forward to sharing my progress with everyone on this site that has worked on this car. Its in good hands :w00t2:

Enjoy it, I miss it... but i don't. It's bittersweet.

It deserves to be finished and built into something that it never really got to become. I can't wait to see the NEXT step in evolution for this car. I have one request, i hope you keep the Rhino Lined bay since it's kind of hard to remove and it's not usually done.

I'm going to miss that spoiler not being on the car, but i know several people that want the spoiler setup and the wheels if you want to sell them.

and lastly... I still think WINE would be awesome.






And my last comment... After 8 years of hatching it up, I'm hatch-less. Very odd.

Also, please remove the Squadronone and GMR decals Josh was supposed to do that lol

Shaving is for women.
