Lol thats very nice to hear man! The hatch has still got a long way to go.

I'm going to stance it very soon (i know a lot of you don't like the stanced trend) add spacers and smaller tyres.

I don't mind at all, good to hear that someone's stealing my idea.
Its a very cheap version of cutouts and it works even well, the only disadvantage is the cable.
And the valve is closing perfectly, not any leaking sound at all.

The sound thats coming out the valve is crazy! haha

Thank you guys for the positive reactions, it keeps me extra motivating :D

Finished the extended top hats on the front

The welds aren't the most beautiful ones but they're very solid

And then..

The upper control arms hit the chassis when taking big bumps so i have to modify and raise the struttowers.

Im gonne cut it and then weld in new pieces :lol:

It's just a failure by Honda in the 90's, they should have known that this was going to be a problem :P

Yes, i know im almost 2 meters tall :P thats not very ideal but i fit perfecly in the car because the seats are mounted extra low

Thanks a lot for voting! I realy appreciate it and i hope i'll win :D


Plans for this weekend are: As i said, modify the exhaust for even more low.
Modify the struttowers and make it look as it supposed to be that way.
Order higher spring rate springs.

Pictures will folow afcourse asap!
