Bass Man's got a HATCH!

[Mellexx]

WIN! when are you going to be putting it on?

[Bass Man]

Just kidding.

I was hoping I was gonna get more bites... lol
I found the kit on CL for $300. I didn't buy it, but I stole the pic. lol

[Rendon LX-i]

aha damn you! you got me excited too

[dacantu]

where the fak are the updates?

[Bass Man]

I haven't touched it since the last update. The Sidekick has been my priority, but the Hatch is almost ready to go. I found out last night I am getting almost 3 times the tax return that I had last year, so that's really nice. I was waiting for taxes to get it legal, cuz you just about need a loan to title a car, here.

really? how much does it cost you to title it and get registration?

[Bass Man]

Close to $150 I believe, now. Found out yesterday that my tax return could buy me a really reliable turbo setup and have money left over to register. Too bad I have too many hobbies. I'm gonna budget about 800 to my Sidekick, then about 4 for the Accord, then get the 3 back to my G-ma and have a little bit to live off. I might give the Sidekick a little more.

[dacantu]

wow it costs $30 to take to emissions here and then it costs $52ish for two years of plates.

[Bass Man]

$86 for plates, title transfer will be a couple more. I don't have to deal with emissions, though. Probably gonna have ~$200 in the exhaust when I get there, but it will be setup so I can build a nice header and run a 2 1/2" or 2 1/4" collector later. I might get a cam gear if I could find one... Either that or an MSD ignition setup. Nothing gives away a sleeper like a rev limiter!

[Bass Man]

I'm pissed...

Finally found out what the smell was inside the car. I thought it was mold from sitting for a while, but an older buddy of mine said it smelled like Patchuli Oil...

No, I haven't even touched it, yet. Taxes are in the mail, though!

[Civic Accord Honda]

well from what i just read about Patchuli oil it sounds better then mold lol

[Bass Man]

But now it smells like a hippie, and it can't be worse than that... lol

[MessyHonda]

m0re pixs pplz

[Bass Man]

lol... Nothing new. I got the hood laying in place and the front passenger fender on. I might get a pic of how it looks right now, cuz it will be a while before it's on the road.

[Bass Man]

Shooting on having it on the road by the weekend.

[Mellexx]

Pics!! I'd love to see a vid too when shes up

[ShyBoyCA6]

pics we want pics bass man or at least how it looks like now would be great

[Hazwan]

^^ What they said

[Bass Man]

Here are some updates.
This is how it's been for the past month or so.


This is how it looked at about 4:30.


And this is where I left it.


And this is what you've all been waiting to see... Dirty-ass car... Believe it or not, but that is about 1 1/2" drop in the front thus far. Gonna look a little better, handle better, and not ride too bad.


I'm teasin', huh?

[Mellexx]

Man you are teasin us! Can't wait to see it up and running

[Rendon LX-i]

i want those rims....ahhhhh

[Tdurr]

i want those rims....ahhhhh

im tryin to get some fat 5s too!!! lol


good lookin hatch man!

[Bass Man]

Thanks guys. I don't know if I'm gonna get to lower the rear before Sunday, which is the day I'm taking it to Yreka... I might just put my bass setup in it instead of lowering the rear.

I don't know if it's gonna start or not, but right now, the dash is in and everything is wired right so far. I gotta figure out the wires going to the shifter and make them work, then I gotta take the exhaust down (not out... I'll have to leave it till after the weekend, probably) and put my manual shifter in.

Hmm... I think I'll do the big 3 to it while I'm at it, cuz it's not really that time consuming.

Then I gotta wire the battery, plug my drivers side axle in (brand new manual axle this time), then radiator and the rest would be body panels! My dad and a buddy want to wheel tomorrow, so I can't really not do that, but I should have enough time to get it running.

[Bass Man]

So far, I've had 1 thing mis-wired... Had the coil wired on at all times and I didn't know till about an hour later, cuz it started steaming up and just about exploded. Pretty cool to watch it, but it set me back pretty bad. Got a new coil and got it wired to come on with the key, so hopefully it works. The starter I rebuilt (Automatic plate, Manual tranny) doesn't sound right at all... In fact, it sounds exactly like it did on the original motor and I thought it was a broken T-belt, but it's acually the starter.
