Default Rakky's Build Thread: Blue EG Hatch

So after buying martin's hatch didn't know where to start since this car pretty much was track/street ready. After taking it for several quick runs around my street (I mean quick, no insurance...) was really happy, feeling more happier after every run.

So this is how the car looks, pretty much the same how I got it.

-Godspeed coilovers, silver LCA's,lower rear strut bar, c pillar bar, front top strut bar, HIDs, ........... yeye.. you get it right

My b16 sitting there, really under estimated the b20, seems to have a faster take off then my b16 which was in my integra. Or is it just me? Then again it is a lighter car

Needed a map sensor, and was able to get one from the scrap yard (was idling rough almost to the point where it wanted to stall). $10 fix.

Sorry , I didn't think you would get mad, I only used the D.T.P because it had the stickers on both front and rear windshields and to tell you the truth I liked it.

I'll take the stickers off right away.

bro, where do you get the idea that I was trying to buy into the group, I didn't even know it was a group until a member came to buy rotors off me and told me he recognized the car (He took a pic of it too). That's when I found out. I left the stickers on cause I thought it looked unique.

I've used many different ***** over years, stock was my fav. I actually got that one from "PurpleStuff".

It brings down the shifter height or atleast the feel for it.

Went to the scrap yard to help a friend out for parts for his accord. He ended up finding a mugen lip (fake off course) off another eg, pretty good condition. It was $10 so I said why not? The quality of it doesn't seem that good, don't think it will last cause the plastic seems VERY fragile but hey $10 I'm happy.

Had time to work on my car today, lately been doing alot of house chores especially gardening lol.

Anyway, the civic's hood needed a spray, But I couldn't find the colour match at any of the stores except for Napa Auto Parts. Only problem was still got no job so Im broke ($40 a can). I had previously bought rust check flat black paint (almost full plus a clear coat can) left over from my teg. So what the hell, decided to paint it black.

400 Grit Wet Sanding, a tack cloth, and couple of clean microfiber cloths was used for prep.

I think it turned out better then I expected, I'm happy because you can no longer see the sun faded spots or small rust spot.

BTW you guys notice the drive way is clean. I cleaned up my previously made oil stains and resealed it by myself. Hard work!

Nice job on the hood looks pretty good.

Ya I noticed that driveway is super clean. Resealing is a pain in the butt.

Really like the look... Would like them more if they worked ...lol

I double checked all my grounds and proper power connections. I guessing it has to be the relay. Could also be the switch ...I'll see if I can fix them tomorrow.

lol, I was too lazy to move the trimmer

thanks Paul, I like them too. It was a debate whether to get the air ducts or fogs. I figured the fogs could help me visually see better especially during foggy weather. I wish they would turn on, Bought the fogs from J-spec in Scarborough, Anybody ever have a problem with his kits?

Im probably going to call him.

Default Update fog light working

So after trying to get these fogs to work I found out that the relay or the switch were not the problem. So it had to be either my grounds, which I knew were good grounds or loose connection.

Turns out it was the brown connector, even though I plugged it in tight it wasn't making a solid connection (cheap plastic oem look-a-like).

That's what the brown connector looked like

I broke off the brown connector and just plugged in the metal female spade connector to make a SOLID CONNECTION. So I reconnected everything , cleaned up the wires and turned them on, worked.

I can't adjust the actual fogs, I think I can adjust the covers. I'll see what I can do, thanks for pointing it out cause I didn't notice.
