my hatch, back from the dead (pics) 56k? eh..

[tenz0]

after 2 years of sitting at a friends' house next to a non-running crx, i finally got my hatch running again (with help from some of u on here)...for not running in 2 years, after rebuilding the starter, replacing the spark plugs, changing the oil, replacing the oil pan gasket, flushing the radiator, and fixing my loose brake problem, it now runs just as well as it did back when i was still in high school although it's not exactly beautiful, heres the pics (bad quality after being shrunk on cardomain)

all flames and comments welcome...btw: anyone know a better, reliable image hosting site..?




damn dent...






dont worry, it will be painted soon

LOL like the cup..What type cam seal you got on your b18 and how long they take to put on also do you gotta take the valve cover off to put those camseals in..Not looking to bad for sitting 2 yrs inside looks to be great shape..Thanks later

[tenz0]

old school STR cam seal, and yea u have to take off the valve cover to put it on

lol, the cup is on cuz my intake is smashed, and i had nothing else to keep stuff from getting in the intake mani..there's pantyhose over it now,

[CivicSpoon]

that looks damn nice man. What color are you going to paint it?
I use www.photobucket.com for pics, but there are only certain times of day you can sign up which sucks (I had to wait till 1am Eastern one night to sign up and post pics). And at one point some of my images were deleted, although it was when I had a fever so I could have done it myself and forgot. But one day I looked on there to upload some more and most were gone.

i give it a thumbs up! much potential. How'd you trick out the taillights?

[tenz0]

i bought the tails from someone when i first got the car..im not a taillight expert, but to me it looks like stock tails and clear tails chopped up and put together..whoever did it did a good job, if thats how they were made..

btw, im trying to get paint color ideas..im thinking black or some other dark color..maybe ill do a poll..?

nice. gotta love the shitbrown interior :P

[CivicSpoon]

Oh yeah...on your cardomain site it said you have 4dr rear door handles on there. Do you have poppers or something and remote door locks to get the door open and unlocked? I'm trying to figure out how that'd work.

Dude, you should have left it gold.

[tenz0]

spoon - i have an alarm with keyless entry

siz - it wasnt just gold..it was gold with a black front bumper and blue fenders..but it might be all gold again..

you need keyless entry. some only get the keyless entry. i say why go half way? get the keyless entry alarm. just be sure to not shave your rear hatch lock so you can climb in when your remote or car battery dies (been there, done that).

Keep it gooooold! Its kinda rare, and a really cool colour. (color for you yanks)
