i will get some pictures up later... they are in another thread i started but i'll just transfer them over here and use this as my "build thread"
i got the engine running tonight.... but its running really rich, and sounds like a four-wheeler, not cool. i'm going to give it a tune up and see if that resolves some things, but as for the exhaust. ugh. its an apexi n1, but i'm not really a fan of it so far. maybe if i get some aftermarket headers instead of using the stock d16z6 4-2-1's it will give it a better sound. there is still a good amount of just small tasks that need to be done. the battery is going to the hatch, i have to pick up the stock side skirts, paint the hood and hatch and wing, put the fenders/bumper on, try and get the fog lights in maybe. the engine bay looks so empty as compared to my sedan ex, which had power steering, ac, abs, etc. i have none of that in this hatch... i took out all the components of ac, it has a manual steering rack, and no abs, i love it. plus the battery, fuse boxes, and wire clips i've managed to all get out of the engine bay
i'll get some pics of the progress as soon as i can, i was going to take some tonight, but the camera didnt have the memory card in it.
EDIT: if you wanna see the car now, check out this thread
