Hatchback mods dillema

[carotman]

Since I got that 87 Hatch, I always wanted to keep it 100% OEM. I managed to install a few optional parts here and there.

I now got to the point I'm not sure if I want to keep it 100% Original. I have all the parts here for a rear disc and EFI conversion. Of course these conversions are time consuming but this is a long term project anyway. I've owned my sedan for 13 years now and the project it still going

Would you guys do it or not?

[Pico]

13 years wow,
I say go for the mods, you've had the car this long so your obviously going to be keeping her for a long while more. You might as well do it.

[MessyHonda]

anything that will make the car more reliable is a good thing

[forrest89sei]

WOW, 13 years! Congrats, that LX of yours is a car I look up to and hope to have something somewhat like it someday

Personally I would do a EFI Swap and the Rear Discs, I've always said If I ever got a DX, it would get EFI and Rear Discs.

[87roach]

Do the swap, you collected the parts for a reason

[2ndGenGuy]

It's still OEM parts right? Then the car is still OEM, just has some new features added to it. "Owner-added options."

[chino4u]

Do it for Johnny!!!

Rear disc brakes are totally worth it, it took me a day to do them by myself with new lines on all four corners.

So you should do it

[88LXi68]

Like others mentioned, I would add the rear discs. If you are looking to actually daily drive the hatch then I would the efi conversion, if not then I go with a nice dual weber set up.

[carotman]

Well, I guess I'll have no choice but to convert it.

I might get a big brake kit for the sedan and install the remaining parts on the Hatch with the SE-i knuckles.

Anyone has a spare Hatchback main harness laying around. If not, I'll have to hack both harnesses and make my own for the conversion.

He's Looking for a Main Wire Harness out of a 88-89 LX-i Hatchback Without Automatic Seatbelts, If possible

[2oodoor]

still need this? those harness' are buckled in tight as hell, it will take a while to get one out unscathed.. may be worth a B20a gasket set.. ahhemmm

[carotman]

Hmmm yeah, If you have an 87 EFI hatch harness, I might take it

Auto or manual? auto seatbelts?

I'l still not sure anymore. I "love" how the carb looks hehe.

[2oodoor]

87 ? previous post said 88-89
anyway, I don't have it yet, but I have a shopping list to fill a the JY, two here that I have been to last month have several, I would say a dozen hatchbacks between them. Sadly two of them I saw look like they really do not belong there yet.
Weather permiting , I'm going tommorrow for teg dizzy, axle, recently replaced motor mounts, a few hatch parts by request, and weber/dellorto carb hunting.

Without Automatic Seatbelts

3geez had auto seatbelts?

[carotman]

Oh yeah, 88-89, sorry lol.

If you ever come by one, I'll gladly trade some B20A parts or send money for it!

[2oodoor]

3geez had auto seatbelts?

yep I see those on the coupes a lot
that ties into the harness via the domelight circuit I assume, or is it also involved in a ign override, I have to look that up at work.

[frantik]

huh.. i did not know that. i thought only 4g had auto seat belts

I had a coupe and no auto seatbelts

[2drSE-i]

maybe only in 86-87 coupes? ive never seen an 88-89 or any 3g for that matter with auto seatbelts. Not saying that its not true though.
