- Mon Jul 19, 2010 1:20 am #205247 I was looking over the Hatch and looked over the damage again. It wasn't as Bad as I originally thought. Therefore me and my buddy decided on Fixing this rather then stripping it out.

Image
Damage Door and Fender

Image
And No More! I will be getting a replacement door, The Unibody damage isn't to bad. The Fender might be fixable, If not I will get a new one of those as well.

Image
Swapped in a D16z6 with OBD2B Electronics.

After fixing the body damage, Will be respraying the Car. I have been thinking about Going Black. However probably will paint it EBP to match the rest of the car.

I was planning on putting in my DVD Player back into, GSR Leather Front and Rear Seats. and then building this up rather then my Sedan as I was originally planning on. 99-00 EK Hatches are much sexier then EG Sedans.

- Tue Jul 20, 2010 6:58 am #205429 I got a new Door! Picked it off Craigslist for $30! It was missing some things on it however.

Moved over the Keyless Lock Actuator to the New Door.

Moved the Key Lock Cylinder so my key works for all 3 doors as well as the starter.

Doing the above meant bending alot of the old door out, and I had to use a nibler to cut some of the old door apart as its so badly damaged. However the new door is currently in working order. Once I get and Install some glass and the Window up-down mechanism then I will install the Door.

Indeed it is hard getting rid off a car. I kept looking at it and just couldn't scrap it. Even if I was going to use it to make a VIP Sedan out of some of it.

I do plan on making this a VIP Roller. I was originally planning on my Sedan however EK's hatch's are so much cooler then EG Sedans IMO. As much as I like my sedan, I couldn't cut up and scrap the EK Hatch to make it a VIP Sedan w/ 99-00 Front clip and dash. Having this all in an EK Makes so much more sense.

My Hope is to have this look just as good as it did before the wreck. The DVD Player is going back in. the Subs will be going in. I am trying to trade my EP3 Seats for some Leather RSX Seats. so I have leather all around.

how was the support under the fender and anything else damaged since you took the door off?


I loved this car to, After looking at the front of again its hard to do anything but love it.

There isn't any really damage under the fender. Where the door latches is a different story.

Image
D16z6's is in and running. Fully converted over to OBD2B

Around the front of the door the alignment is pretty good. Once I pop the dent out of the fender I will be putting that back on.

The Rear of the Door lines up vertically with the locking mechanism. However its pushed about 1"-1.5" Back. I'm contemplating have a body shop pull the post back into place.

Its not legal to put an older engine into a newer car. However, the Engine is fully OBD2B.

I took all of the OBD1 Electronics out of the D16z6 Distributor, then Installed OBD2B Electronics in it. I installed OBD2b Fuel Injectors, and an OBD2b B Series Alternator. I wired it back into the EM1 OBD2b Civic Si B16 Wiring Harness. Its currently being run by an OBD1 P28 ECU w/ an OBD2b to OBD1 Jumper Harness.

I look forward to having this hatch look just like it use to before the wreck.

are you going to do anything about the knock sensor? then you could run a p2p ecu for inspections (if necessary)
i put a z6 into my 97 coupe, with an obd2a EX harness, but spliced injector clips for obd1, and iat with a p28 ecu.
