87roach's 1987 S Hatch Build

[87roach]

Well, it's about time.

Props to Adam at MAPerformance for the great service!

[87roach]

The old garbage I am so happy to get rid of finally!!

[87roach]

[87roach]

This setting on the coilover is with the spring perch at a snug level and the shock mount screwed all the way in. It's too low for me and will cause serious damage if I keep it like this!

I will change the height tomorrow to something more suitable for my driving range. I will also play with the damper settings over the next while to see what it's like.

So far the ride is way better then that old shit(obviously, these are actually made for my car!)

Oh yea, now maybe I can finally use that DC bar I bought years ago.. it's really very nice to see those top hats gone.

[Pico]

Awesome setup.
Love the way they look.

[bullard123]

Nice! I see u had to downgrade to the smaller rims. How do they ride?

[87roach]

Thanks

Those rims have my winters on them. I wanted to sell my other ones to get some new rims/tires but I am not sure yet... it's not quite winter anymore so I may have to get something soon haha.

[MessyHonda]

wow looks nice...

[Civic Accord Honda]

buckets have been came

[86honda]

very nice what lowering springs did u use

[Rendon LX-i]

Those a K sports fully adjustable Coilover setup. Best setup made for are car to date. IM getting that very very soon. The fact that you can control the damping. O man i can already see the difference.

Roach whats up man. You boosted that A already? how the Ks doing.

[87roach]

Yo, no I haven't boosted yet.

I have been working out of town for the last while now... I have nearly all the pieces for the turbo(got them months ago). I do need to get a welder and stuff because I want to do my own fab work so I am working towards that.

I will have to take lots of pictures of the goods, I got a lot of shit to put on the car haha.

The ksports are nice, I went with the stock spring rates. So far I have put on a good couple thousand km's and they are feeling good. I have been trying to figure out this "wheel" shake issue I have been having for a while... I have replaced nearly everything in the front end except for a couple bushings and everything is solid. I put my rims back on with the summer rubber and it feels better but it's still there... so I am going to take it into the shop next week and try to get them to fix it haha.

It would be sick to be boosted this year, even if I did get all the stuff on I don't know about tuning and such.. it would probably be winter by then but I am going to try!

Thanks for checking in, hope you're doing good man.

[Rendon LX-i]

Thats good to hear. you can always run it on a base map and go to a tuner to let it rip on. Good to hear you got some goods. I just got the accord running really looking forward to Tune ....on chrome pro. Pretty stoked. Shaking issue seems odd. you try your torque rods to see if there loose or a rotor prehaps. A bent wheel. Never hurts to take em to a tire shop to see if your wheels are TRUE. and do a good balance. tape weights in and out of the rim not just the outside. It can be 0.00 on static balance but you wont get a true balance. let us know man. great work regradless

[13buzz]

This thing is nice.. Good work

[Reeceright86lxi]

I don't think so, because the sock might be different. Unless you have some way of getting something on there that will work.

1990-1993 Acura Integra
1992-1994 Acura Vigor
1986-1993 Honda Accord
1988-1991 Honda Civic
1988-1991 Honda CRX

I believe any of those models will work.

so your saying i can put up to 93 accord coilovers on my 86?

[Pico]

[klingbiel1337]

Only Hatch ive ever seen identicle to mine! love it keep it up!

[klingbiel1337]

were did u get the lip kit!?

[87roach]

Thanks!

Got it at the local PnP years ago.

There was also a duck tail on that car too, I didn't bother taking it because I didn't have a use for it. It was only later on that I found out it was rare!

[87roach]

Damn, I really want to get started on my build again

[87roach]

Well the weather has been very spring like for the past while, pretty much.

Today however was quite the exception. It was snowing when I woke up and it seems to have let up now.. pretty crazy for us to get a big snow fall like this.

[Tdurr]

i want ur ksports!
i helped pete put his in and they feel great on the short ride we took. i cant wait till i get the money for them

[88lxi-shortram]

Lol ksports are nowhere near my future as if now but I am looking for a drop... If you're looking to pass that old setup onto another 3geezer pm me and see if we can work something out... But anyways they look great wish I had a job to throw some money around. But the hatch is looking great Thumbs up x2

[jreed8484]

get her out of the snow fast!

[87roach]

Haha, it's pretty well melted now. I hope to get her in the shop soon..
