Ok, I wanna see at least 1 pic of everyone's hatch out here on this thread. Even if you have a hatch as ur beater car cough::steve::cough, I wanna see a pic posted. Let's limit this to exterior shots only. PLEASE post ur HATCHBACK pics here. Let's prove to the damn coupe and sedan owners that the HATCH is the BEST 3G around! (ps... coupe and sedan owners... ..I'm not hatin' (I got a coupe too), I'm just saying let's give credit where it's due and respect the hatch as the best 3g around.)

PS... Aerodeck pics are also welcome here.

you gotta either be a paid member or host them somewhere and image link them. if you want to image link 'em, and the pic is already hosted somewhere (on the web) right click on the pic, go to properties, copy the image url, and paste it into ur reply to this thread. to link to the image, after it's copied in the reply, put a {IMG} before the link and {/IMG} after it. Replace the {} with [].

hostile i love that front bumper on your car. how much did you pay, and from where?

HostileJava
11-25-2002, 02:03 PM
I honestly don't remeber what I paid for it, but it's from erebuni part #291fs. That's from the packing slip that I got with it.

bobafett
11-25-2002, 02:04 PM
cool i will look it up when i get off work. how much was painting and installation? i am thinking i may want to paint the car another color though, so it may not be an issue right away.

HostileJava
11-25-2002, 02:06 PM
I'm not sure how much it would have been just to paint it and install it. I had some damage to the front end that they fixed, then install the bumper and painted the whole front end.

wow, doug, you don't see those wheels often. like the ones HostileJava's car has/had.

doug
11-25-2002, 04:32 PM
if I remember correctly they are stamped, Western Wheel Mfg but I think they are an optional wheel from Honda, they are alittle different than HostileJava's, but same idea.

Coroncho80
11-25-2002, 04:53 PM
They look like truck tires.................. sorry not my taste :D but the car itself, looks pretty good. ( i'm not impress with any of your hatches yet. Sedans & coupes still kicking ass!!! :lol)

doug
11-25-2002, 05:07 PM
yeah, the wheel/tire combo sucks, as does the ride height. that all came with the car when I got it 6 months ago. I'm approaching the point in the priority list where changes will occur in all those regards.

Grant2k
11-25-2002, 05:35 PM
i think those wheels look good actually. that car looks really clean. i have to say that i do like the stock look actually. dropped just a little bit for a better stance and our cars look sweet. (usually that requires some wheel other than the 13s with the plastic wheel covers though). so those wheels look great to me. is your car dropped? i can just about squeeze 3 fingers into my wheel well. yours looks about that hight.

doug
11-25-2002, 05:44 PM
no drop yet. actually it looks like it sits higher than stock to me.
I've just about decided on a Ground Control/Koni fronts/Tokicos rear setup. Shox wants 679 shipped for that. But the recent discussion on making your own coilover setup from less expensive sets has me in hold. I wish we had more feedback from actual owners/users of the various sets. The gap in my wheel well in front is about 5 inches so thats a whole fist, not fingers..ha ha

well i call it a cool air intake because, it doesnt use warm air from the exhaust shroud. its not a cold air intake because its not plumbed to take fresh air in... does that make sense? if it doesnt should i call it like a short intake or something

Thanks man.. I have a turbo sitting in the crawlspace that I was planning on adding to the stock 89SEi motor, but the thing is almost dead. It sat for a couple of weeks or so and it's puttering big time now. Seems like it's running on two cylinders.
Been a great experience building it but I don't have much cash or time to get fixed up.

Just do the type R swap in the front or you could do a 94+ GSR/LS swap, either one requires that you use 88-89 hubs.

i was looking for replacement parts for it after the accident and i found the gold one (87 lxi bought with 110k) bought it for 200 only major thing wrong with it still is the seam split on the top of the drivers seat. soon that hatch wont be gold anymore.......

89 Accord LX-i Hatch - Manual

Just bought it a week or two ago. I did a tune up(cap, rotor, plugs, wires, etc), replaced the valve cover gasket, and did an oil change. Coming up is Tokico struts and a muffler since the current one is about shot.

I first must say that is a sick ass hatch, second what engine mods do you have done?

dloper
03-19-2007, 07:42 AM
Can't do a whole lot with the engine. I run in SCCA and they are real strict on what you can/can't do. Intake is custom modified, exhaust is custom. I've added MSD ignition and a Crank Scraper. Pretty much stock after that.
Essentially you can't mess with anything beyond stock clearance from the Honda Service manual. Intent is to level the playing field so GTI's, Mustangs, Volvo's, Porsches, BMW, Dodge, Fiats, Mazdaa, Nissans etc all have close to the same HP/Weight ratio.
Brakes and suspension are another issue

Thanks for the comp... Car is an 87, rules say i can update within a model so that opens up 86-89 lxi parts.

Front Brakes are upgraded to 89 lxi rotors and calipers, pads are carbotech (compound xp10). Cheap "stock" rotors in the Front, the pads are more expensive than the rotors, one or the other is going to start to go and i'd rather throw away cheap rotors than expensive pads.

Rear brakes are still drum (specs say you can't make a model) so since i'm lxi, its got to be drum. Stock crap shoes in the rear though. I burn through them about every 4 - 6 sessions depending upon the track. I have to keep replacing the rear wheel cylinders if I don't watch the shoes closely. shoes heat up, start to fall apart, metal on metal, temp goes right into the wheel cylinder and brakes go south. Not a lot of fun at 100+ mph going into turn 17 at sebring.

Super blue 700degree fluid, 89 lxi master cylinder, proportion valve on the floor.

Suspension is knoi yellow adjustable on all 4 corners. 600lbsprings in the front and 400lb in the rear. Custom rear sway, no sway in the front unless it starts to rain.

Rims are Kosei K1-ts, 9.3 lbs each so super lite. I've had really good luck with the Kumho v710's and have just stuck with them. Many competitors run hoosiers at twice the bills and I'm still beating them. so until someone else shows up an beats me on a regular basis on hoosiers i'm going to save the bucks and run on the Kumhos. Tire pressures are an issue with the Kumho's but i've got a good system worked out and won 4 out of my last 6 races on them. Kumho aslo gives you 'tire money' when you place 1-3rd.

Tire pressures are an issue with the Kumho's but i've got a good system worked out and won 4 out of my last 6 races on them. Kumho aslo gives you 'tire money' when you place 1-3rd.

you have one of the hottest hatches....man i bet it must be fun racing and betting other cars. keep up the good work

Maybe this should go in 'off topic' but I wanted to make sure Hatch owners saw this!
I was surfing through some music videos on YouTube while on duty the other night and ended up watching Madonna's Erotica video. Low and behold she bends over the hood of a 3gee hatch near the end. Any car Madonna sees fit to bend over has to be sexy, so of course it has to be a 3gee hatch. (although, I'm sure it isn't the only car she has ever bent over, just the only one in a video)

I actually saw the thread you started before i got back to this one. Great picts, saved them to my hard drive to use as future reference. I wanna see yours when you get it finished. Also have questions related to how you're painting and what you're painting with (color brand). It's somthing I want to do soon once i finalize the design. Luv to do a photo shoot. keep up the good work!

Luv to do a photo shoot. keep up the good work!there are a lot more pictures on my homepage,link is above my signature,scroll down and click on the camera,thats the link to my image station albums. there are also some pics on the site itself. as far as paint I'm using nappa products,single stage. I could have used base clear,but it's a time constraint,plus this is a daily driver,and it's much eaisier to fix chips etc in a single stage. right now it's parked in the garage with major electrical problems,I'll fix it this weekend though. this was a project that both myself and my wife worked on,we tried not to use too much filler,mostly metal work. any questions,feel free to ask,you can eithier email me at [email protected],or if you want to ask me in one of the threads I started thats cool too. :)

There are a couple of groups that run at sebring on a regular basis for street cars. They are called Drivers Education (DE's) schools. You pay some money, show up with your car, they set you up with an instructor and you drive. Thats how i started. Some are porsche schools or bmw schools but it really doesn't matter your car. I've been out with a group called Chin Motorsports a number of times. The instructors are good and you get a bunch of track time, but you've got to be on our toes because they mix fast and slow cars together. They'll rent you a helmet so you can save a little there. After you go out a couple of times with an instructor and get decent, they'll sign you off to solo.

It's not racing, and trust me if your car is somthing you want to keep in good shape, you don't want to be racing with it. I get run into about every 3 or 4 races. To do real racing you'll need to put together a race car, full roll cage, fire supression system, kill switch, and get a bunch of gear.

Don't limit yourself to just Sebring either. There are courses all over the place and many ways to get in via DE. They aren;t cheap but there isn;t any other way to do this without a purpose built car.

That said, there isn;t anything like this on the planet. 120mph going into turn 17 at Sebring with 2 cars in front and 3 breathing down your tail while you slide the entire time while your dealing with the crappy bumps in the concrete trash they call a race track is a rush that cannot be expressed in words, pictures, video or any other method. It took me a while to grow the balls to do it. I had to unlearn how to drive and get over my fear. I still get butterflys at every start, 63 car field 20 in front of you and they drop the green, you hit the gas, field spreads out to 5 or 7 wide and the noise is insane. all you see is cars in front,behind, left, right, you can't even see the road. you get up to about 70 or 80 and then feel the field of cars start to turn into the first left hander. your car starts to slide and someone bumps you from behind. the two cars in front have brakes that suck or they suck so they brake early, red tail lights everywhere, and you jerk the wheel to the right to get around the outside. the car gets unsettled but you hit the gas hard, cause your front wheel, and steer inside the line to get back straight again even though all four wheels are floating. tach says 5k and speedo says 60. sorry to drag on but this is the coolest shit ever.

I suggest trying autocross first if you haven't already. Totally safe, worst you can do is hit a cone. and you get to see if its somthing you really want to do.
