BoostedK20.com OG Hatch Build - Mild Restoration Has Begun!

[aLmk]

It's fun! I'll actually be charging the battery overnight, and tinker with the car tomorrow if the weather holds up. Came with a new car dontchya know! I'll need to drop the gas tank and likely blow out the fuel line(s). Metal gas tanks are a sure thing of the past.

As for your old Honda, I'm not that far ahead of you at 67hp! 2hp on a 1500hp car should definitely be noticeable on the butt dyno. Got any pics of it? Great first car!


Well, they say the demolition is half the fun! The end result will be nutty though. Very excited. Just need a good projekt name before moving forward to figure out what motor is best!

Thank you very much!

Aren't you putting a k20 in it and boosting?

[BoostedK20]

Very nice find!

We are on board to help.

When is the engine going to be added to the thread?

Thanks! Not sure yet, that's what's next to decide. First will be the battle of K20 or K24, and second will be attaining one.

LOL I was gonna link that video haha How long has the car ya bought been sitting ? I still have a metal tank in my car and your right everything is plastic these days .I actually don't have any pics of my first car as it was a 1977 civic hatch that I bought in 1986 lol remember I'm old and cell phones were not in everyone's pocket back then like they are now with cameras. Hell we still had Polaroids that ya had to wait for the pic to develop after it came out of the bottom of the camera haha here is what the car looked like though



it was a 2 speed Hondamatic only had 2 gears I use to run 1 st to 55 mph then 2 nd I blew up 4 engines in 240,000 miles but could change em out in mere hours lol I am trying to think of a good name to suggest for this project but am drawing a blank right now .

She's an original beaut! You blew up 4 engines back then? Some things just never change.

I'm not sure how long the car sat, but the big fuel pump and metal tank part should be fun.

Aren't you putting a k20 in it and boosting?

A k-something and boosting it, yes. We will have a hell of a manifold to show the world how it's done!

Looks awesome! Not a bad run. Never seen one run at a track before!

With slicks, this 1500DX will be far faster and quicker. It's all a matter of finances with these builds IMO. Well, mostly.

Wow, that's quite a video! The car just sounds so exhausted though, old b-series I assume?

Dude so sick!!! That's a collectors car and your typing it apart to build it...... STREETS! LOL

And this is quite the collector's car. Fully numbers matching, no rust, all original, interior literally looks new (considering the 50k mileage part), and only 50k on it. Taking the glass out and using lexan will be torture to the Gen 1 and 2 enthusiasts. Although I'm sure they won't mind the mint old parts.

Looks awesome! Not a bad run. What motor setup was that? Never seen one run at a track before!

Far faster and quicker is right. Build will have a budget, not sure what just yet though.

2nd post updated!

Now, we need to decide on the most crucial part: the heart transplant. We also need to decide on a name for the Projekt before we move forward. And I want to move forward so let's get creative with Projekt names!!

Motor and tranny discussion will follow.

its all about the money, you can make anything fast if you are willing to invest in it.

This is AWESOME! That car is the perfect chassis. Weighs 1500 lbs according to my research... And this specific one having no rust is crazy. Gonna be a fast car. Project name...... Project:Relic
