Re: My recap and ongoing final stretch of building my Hatch

So I've been slowly collecting parts over the past month and I don't have all of them but you can see it's an array of BG and T3 stuff. I'm still awaiting the SQ V3 cooling kit and some stuff for the interior from Japan and a fellow member. I've mostly been working on the motor so here's what went o...

Re: My recap and ongoing final stretch of building my Hatch

You may not remember, but I bought some random door grommets from a local junkyard since apparently these cars didn't come with proper door grommets. I already had the driver one installed and completed but tonight I finally got around to getting the passenger side done. Here's the grommet I'm worki...

Re: My recap and ongoing final stretch of building my Hatch

So I got the head and alternator back from the machine shop. and this week's progress has been pretty slow. I finished painting the plug cover for the valve cover. Just used the same black metallic paint that I used on the block. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/661/phQVaY.jpg http://imag...

Re: My recap and ongoing final stretch of building my Hatch

I think you're asking what I used to strip the paint and I just got some stripper from lowes. It's the goo off aerosol can stuff for epoxy and paint. I had to do it about 4 times but it worked really well at taking off the old stuff but not leaving any chemical residue on the cover. At least, so far...

I'll look into that if there's issues, thanks! I stripped the valve cover and painted it over the past couple days. I replaced the grommet and the breather on the back as well.

Got the block all painted today. About 3 coats of VHT metallic black. I love it and I can't wait to get the head back and start putting things back together.

Thanks for the epic words Torparts! I've been focusing a lot on cleaning the block and getting it ready for paint. This has involved a lot of VHT primer and rust rescue with a lot of wire wheeling and degreaser as well. The following pictures should tell the story of what I've accomplished so far th...

So tonight I got a few things removed from from the motor and a few goodies from T3. The first thing I removed was the valve cover. To be honest, I don't know how to tell if it looks like things are ok in there so if you have any feedback for me on what you think, I'd appreciate it. I think everythi...

Re: My recap and ongoing final stretch of building my Hatch

So after noticing some issues, i.e. Oil leaking from the head and a leaking clutch slave cylinder, I decided to give the motor a pull for clean up and some upgrades. After pulling the header, you can see the oil leak is pretty bad. The starter had oil all over it. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/64...

Sorry, no cool pictures tonight. I've started pulling things apart to get the motor out so I can deep clean the bay before paint and replace and/or clean up some parts on it.

I did a full tuck of my main engine harness and moved the under hood fuse box into the car. I haven't worked out how to do the brake lines yet but I can't imagine it being that difficult. I'd like to go boosterless too to just remove some clutter.

Just more parts i.e. the 4 relays. I'm not sure what the current draw is on the signal and marker lights but DEI used to give a 2 relay box for the door locks in their old alarms that would work great as long as they could support the current draw.

That emblem came with the Cusco 2-way LSD. While I was deployed, I had a mechanic put the rear together for me. That's why I know so little about it :?

Re: My recap and ongoing final stretch of building my Hatch

As far as I know It was just a stock GTS rear end. When I bought it, it had drums in the back but it had an LSD. Unfortunately this was years ago and I don't really have any pictures or records of the swap. Good luck with your build!
