    my hatchy update.

    Well lots of crap has happened in the past week or so that i havnt been on here.

    Lets see. My car was running great. It was actually fast (for once). Then live decided to take a shit on me.

    1. My flex pipe broke on my headers so i have to run open headers for a day or 2.
    2. My car started running like ass. (maybe cos of the open header( but it wont go above 60
    3. My tires got chewed up thanks to a piss-poor alignment and i dont have $400 for tires so now im rollin on some 13's
    4. My car seems to get like 9 miles to the gallon. even before the exhaust happened.
    5. I hit a damn for sale sign and put a gash in my car.


    But i did pick of a Free taillight today. And im starting the body work tomorrow.

    damn old ass honda.

    Re: my hatchy update.

    Im in the process of putting a new timing belt on.

    It is by far the easiest thing ive ever done. I dont know wht everyone is telling me that its hard as hell to do. I just got it back in time but didnt put the belt on cos i ran out of light.

    decided not to pull the head. I just need it to make it a couple months then i will be doing a b series swap.

    i can get a deal on a non-vtec b18 engine and trans for like $700. Ill just have to figure out the wiring.
