Fourth Time's the Charm - Another Air Hatch

[Dremetos]

Had a perfect storm happen where an RHD honda shell fell into my lap, so it had to go. It was a fun run guys, but she's dead. New build won't be stance-based at all, so I'll be hitting the deuce deuce on posting here until I decide to ruin something again.



RIP



closure feels good

nice post!!

Not much to report recently, got bored and decided to make an ignition switch panel to delete my ignition (kept the physical thing there though to retain the column lock, so it still requires a key lol) and also pulled the engine out of my parts car to prep for when mine ultimately blows up lol

Any plans on actually fixing them up properly?

Not really, no money for it & the way they're destroyed they aren't even worth fixing.

Believe it or not the only one that leaks is the NOT bent one .....

The rears hold just fine after straightening with a rubber mallet, and one of the fronts is very very badly bent. The one that is straight as an arrow loses like 20 psi in a 24/hr period .....

Wheels still holding air? Aren't they bent to shit?

Ok I take it back, the rear subframe thing still sketches me out, but damn this thing looks cool as shit.

elaborate your concerns, that thing is solid welded to the car as well as bolted in with 17mm bolts sandwiched between the bumper support, it's not going anywhere. i have 3 wheeled the piss out of this thing and it hasn't moved at all

this is too good

i respect that youre building what you want and i actually am a fan to an extent...but it amazes me that there are people on this forum that like this car lol the same forum where rep wheels are basically the antichrist.

Thanks man, there are very few and far things on this car I genuinely take pride in. What people see is an extremely tattered and fucked up exterior and that's where their thoughts end. What they don't see is the fact that I really care about the big stuff that makes a car road worthy.

Just to name a few:

- Brand new brake lines from the master cyl. to the brake hoses
- Brand new front pads & rotors on the OEM+ big brake upgrade
- Brand new lower ball joints
- Brand new tie rod ends
- Brand new upper control arms incl. ball joints
- Brand new stg. 2 clutch
- Fresh rear camber links
- Very new & tread-adequate tires
- Replaced a front subframe that was so rotten one of the LCAs was literally falling out in 2/3 mounting locations (it passed state inspection this way).

I just wish I'd be able to hand a cop the receipts for all of that stuff when I finally get bagged for driving this shit pile.

And no, nothing on this car is AutoZone garbage, it's all higher end aftermarket stuff, Moog, or OEM Honda.

Damn are you retarded? Because you're pretty special

[Shogunate]

This thing is just crazy. Destroying it must have been a blast. But the reactions to it have to best part of the build
