Catalyst's 87 hatch update pics / vids

[Catalyst]

I know it's been a while since you guys have seen an update from me but life has been crazy. The girlfriend and I moved into our own place, we got a puppy, both work full time so I haven't had much time to take pictures of the car, and I haven't had a camera. I just got the new iphone 3gs and i wanted to see how it works with pictures and videos so I thought i would do some.

VIDS!

I love your car. What steering wheel do you have? I want one, so I don't look like a retard when I'm trying to honk and I'm sitting there hitting the center of the steering wheel. By the way, you should take a picture with the lights down.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

^^ Charlie, It's a prelude steering wheel... 2nd gen I believe? I love it too, I really should try and snag one next time I'm at pick n pull.

Car is looking great Catalyst, pretty damn good pics for a phone too.

Thanks man. that wheel is off a 3rd gen prelude. It took a little modification to make it fit (grind off some of the back of the wheel to allow for clearance) but i love it. Here is a few pics with the lights down.

Now that's the sex. How hard/difficult was the grinding?

[Civic Accord Honda]

you can just cut a little bit of the black plastic shield that goes around the steering (cant think of word starts with letter"c" lol) as well if you dont have a dremel or anything like that lol ^

Yeah it wasn't hard at all, i just clamped it to a table, busted out the Festo Grinder, and it took like 3 passes because that plastic melts really fast. Super easy.

[Catalyst]

What do you think?

Black wheels? ( Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, its all I have haha)

[Civic Accord Honda]

Looks good but imo the silver looked alot better...

[ShyBoyCA6]

nice hatch keep up the good work

[Hazwan]

Looks good but imo the silver looked alot better...

I have to agree here But it could be from the pics, get better ones!

[Mellexx]

I have to agree here But it could be from the pics, get better ones!

Agreed on that, It doesn't look bad but I think if you kept a silver lip they would probably look better. Need more pics though to decide.

[Rendon LX-i]

O NO....the silver rims are GONE? no way. o well still looks sexy. O YEA the 3gen steering wheel. i love mine also i had to use a knife to cut some of that shit off.....razor sharp thou.

keep up the good work. I miss the N/A sound. All i hear is very little spool and its gets lounder and lounder i rev up LOL. Once i get my other 3geez im going all motor.

[Joay]

O NO....the silver rims are GONE?

I think those are the same wheels, just painted. Definitely look the same. I think they look better in black as well.

[Catalyst]

Yeah they are the same wheels. I just got bored of the silver, and wanted to try something new. I can always just strip the paint off and go back to silver if I change my mind but I'm not sure which i like better yet. Thanks for the comments.

[Pico]

I like the new look of the rims Catalyst. Black and white hatches always look good

[markmdz89hatch]

love it. ...your hatch one of the ones that inspired me to get my ass in gear and start working on mine again. Love it. IMO, the silver wheels are much better, but I feel you on the need to try something new with 'em.
