Great progress so far, it's getting there.

 

[Osiris19]

Thanks. I just need to get that axle on there and inspection and I can start putting serious cash in there.

 

[MistahJuice]

Love the progress, and I agree, PS over AC any day, roll the windows down, turn the music up and cruise lol

 

[Osiris19]

Exactly how I drive erryday. Lol. Hopefully the first mod I do will be repaint VC and get me my cf duckbill if I can find one.

how hard was it for you to get that molding off without breaking the clips

 

[Osiris19]

Idk, I didn't do it. The guy who had the car before the previous owner had one of the side moldings stolen, so he took the other one off and filled it with fiberglass.

How many times have I said it I'm not removing my power steering.

Ah come on... all the cool kids are doing it! PS is for sissys. Manual swap this thing already before you go nuts with other stuff like rims/drop and what not.

 

[Osiris19]

I don't make enough to do the swap at this point. Hell it'll take me a month and a half to do my minime.

No i ment the ones on the door here. everytime i try and take these off i end up breaking the clips.

Pics of the door moldings, and other moldings/rubbers.

 

[Osiris19]

Work a flat head under then, carefully working the molding up. If your talking about the one that goes up on the door, there are screws on the door where it connects to the jamb. Ill take a pic later.

Looks like a fun project!

 

[Osiris19]

Yeah. It will be.
Update
Reserving my axle from Napa tomorrow or Monday and picking it up this weekend just in time for the Sonic meet.

 

[Osiris19]

Picked up my new spark plugs and wires after work. Installed and running awesome.
pulls so much faster and so far no backfiring.

Old wires.

nice man and no i was talking about the first one you meantioned

 

[Osiris19]

Oh Idk. I can't get them the f**k back on so I threw em in the hatch and they're gonna sit there for now.

Haha. I like power steering. Everything else can go. They make windows for a reason, AC is useless.

AC's definitely not useless. My explorer had it, but my 01 DX Coupe and my current 94 DX Hatch don't have it, and when it's warm, it sucks. Plus, driving on the highway with the windows down makes a lot of noise, and if you have girls in the back (as is expected with me, j/p), they don't like getting their hair all messed up.

on the flipside, my first car, a Mazda B2200 pickup, didn't have power steering and I was fine with it. I'm fine with it now, too. It's a lot easier than my pickup. You'll get used to it, but whatever floats your boat.

Have fun with the hatch, converting it to manual will be the best part for you. Much funner.

 

[Osiris19]

Yeah, I'm hoping to have another job next year to save up.

 

[Zen Chameleon]

Read both your build threads while I'm at work. It's comming along man
Good Luck with the build

 

[Osiris19]

Thanks man.

With tires or just rims?

Updates
Got the power steering belt on and the window, windshield, and door moldings.

no tires, but if you have 14 inch wheels you can just swap tires over
