Honda Man's Official 86 LXi Hatch Build thread

[Honda Man]

Ok well I've gotten some more work done on lafawnda, and I'll take some more pics when I wash and clean it out. I was looking to find some rims not to many people had and I got the idea of crome steelies. Then searching around I found Crome steelies but the had a widened lip which is perfect since I'm going to do a boso theme to my car.
Here is some wheels I liked. I was thinking 14x9 with flared fenders and being lowered a bit more than I already am

14x9 on a 3g?

14x9 on a 3g?

Yea that's right 14x9! That's just the idea of it. I still have to see how much it will actually cost.

So now my plans changed for the hatch. Some big news happened, at the beginning of Aug. I proposed to my girl of 3 yrs. and not only are we engaged we she is pregnant! So ima be a papa. So I'm going a little different route so I have more money the the little one. For sure I'm getting louvers but hopefully from king peetis, then I'm doing SEi rear disks, now suspension and some exhaust and motor work.
For shock I was thinking tokinko blues, my dropzone springs or (maby GC coil sleeves) and the tophat mod so the don't blow. I have a $1000 spendIing limit for everything. So my question is what would be the best cost efficient route for my suspension? But also giving me kinda stiff suspension because im already lowered a couple inches and i dont want to raise it up. Let me know any options and if you or know someone selling some shocks let me know. And after this is taken car of then it is time for 5 ft. Tall boso pipes!!!!

[MessyHonda]

congrats on the new news

[Honda Man]

Thanks Jesse! We will be 6 weeks along on Wed. So we're having a may baby.

So back to the car, from what I got from reading here is that the tokinko blues and GC coilover sleeves are good and if I do the tophat mod they won't blow right? At first I was going to get ksport coilovers but the cost so much and I want to get other work done so I will get those later down the road.

Here are some pictures I took during and after I wash her.





I got some tire shine and it worked really well and so I put some on my mud flaps and they look almost new

[MessyHonda]

clean ride.

[Honda Man]

Thanks again Jesse. So my next step is to flush out the rusty coolant (yea I know noob move) then move on to fix the code 12 I have. Then I'm refinishing the mirrors back to flat black. And I am going to start saving up for my new wheels. These monsters are going to be 14x10! Bwhahahaha!!!!

And around November I'm going to be spending $1000 on LaFawnda with new shock springs tophats exhaust and louvers. If I have enough left over maby new paint around may my newborn will come I to the world so most of my money will go to them. After though I will start working on the motor. Cams headers intake coil all the good stuff. I want to build up a boso style monstrous A20 n/a pushing around 150 whp

Found your thread looking for info on extended shifters. Good to see someone into the 'don't give a fuck' style like me.

I'm extending my shifter on my cb7 with a piece of 3/4" pipe from my job. I'm putting some bends in it so the throw doesn't feel like too much and to make it look more 'stock' lol if that's possible. I also rock a custom wood grain shift knob that I made.

[Honda Man]

I think I have seen those shift knobs, unless I'm thinking of someone else. And thanks for the complement man. Yes I really don't care what people think of my car because its my car. And for the shifter I actually got everything at home depo for like $5

[Honda Man]

So it's been a while since I updated on 3gee. Been using the Facebook app lately. So since the last update I've had both rear fog lights stolen, new steering wheel w/quick release hub, new shifter with miller shift knob, Muffler rust and fall off, tinted the fog lights, some new stickers, a wink rally mirror, fender mirrors from a Honda scamp, and finally some fuction form type 1 coilivers from ef civic. This year is the year I fix everything. My goal is get her ready for JCCS 2014

hey honda man. diamond steelies make some dope deep dish for pretty cheap and is only like 30 dollars for extra inch of wide

[Tdurr]

Nice to see your still at it man! U need some wheels to set her off! & how do u like the f&f coilovers? Just curious

Thanks dude the fnf are pretty good for going low but REALLY require extended top hats. The back can be dumped easily but the front is tricky. I didn't have the top hats before I installed them so the shocks in the front softened up pretty quick. I'm planni g on getting custom built top hats built that are around 3-4 inches tall & new set of fnf coils next year

Thanks man. I love the reaction I get from my shifter. It's always laughing and a WTF. You should get some rear fogs. To me they make the rear end look better and honestly it's more light for when your backing up

[Gemini2003]

Love the steering wheel, I'm gearing up for the local show and shine in the spring :-)

[Honda Man]

Yay more updates! New hood, headlight buckets, front bumper w/camry lip & NEW FOGS!!!! to get it to look decent I painted the rear bumper and it look a better than I thought. Also fixed my code 12 and she passed smog wuth flying colord.
Enjoy....
