Rockcord's Updating-ness (56k Killer)

[Rockcord]

ok Ive had it a little over a month now, might as well start the update thread....

When I bought the 86 LXi Hatch for $1100, It had a busted right front indicator, a blue right headlight cover, leaky injectors, passenger door wouldnt open from out side, bad front brakes, bad oil, lame purple tint, right front CV clicks, stock rims, a DUAL CD player and 2x Infiniti 150W speakers in the front, no rear speakers, and the Infinitis were amped by an old 100W amp....

A month later, I have put new brakes on it, re-wired the entire stereo with 2x Pioneer 200W 6.5" speakers in the rear, and my 2x 10" JBL subs. I removed the 100W amp and put in my 200W MTX for the subs and wired all speakers to the stereo. Changed the oil, still havent got a new indicator, got a matching headlight cover, but the eyebrow is still from 88-89 so it doesnt match, I threw my 84 rims on it, wont keep them long, but long enough to get pics... replaced all of the 13 lights that were out, fixed the fuses so everything works correctly, removed intake tubing. I just got some new injectors to install today hopefully they will be better than the leaky ones I have right now... I have fixed the passenger door so it opens from both sides now, fixed my loose interior door panel so it doesnt flap whenever I close the door...

and now the pics!

When I first got it,

some other random pics of work and such,



as of yesterday, yes I had the hood off, showing of the dirty A20 while the sun was out its back on of course... definatly turned heads with the rims and no hood though... More pics / work to come!

always TLC... um they were just NAPA OEM Equivalent ones, kinda squeaky, but i needed new ones and those were only $20 so yeah, next time i get brakes, if i have the money, Ill just upgrade all around to disc and get nicer everything.

[MessyHonda]

yeah i went all out....it was worth it...car stops in a dime...but now i want to upgrade to bigger rotors so it fills in my rim good.

the hatch looks great man. You might not have to replace the full injectors just replace the o-rings it'll save you some money.

Not to be a stickler or anything, but it's "stops on a dime" not in a dime . Rockcord Im feeling the hatch but why are you putting differnt colored headlight covers? Keep up the good work.
