- Thu Feb 05, 2009 2:02 am #94290 So my hatch started out as some ghetto ass shell my friend picked up from a guy in VA Beach. The project was a bit much for him, I ended up pulling the y7 turbo I had in my Del Sol and dropping his z6 in it and traded chassis.

Car was hella fuggin ugly:


This came with it too.... Celicas are gay, so are their hoodscoops.... why the hell would anyone want to put one on a EH2 hatch I have no idea. The hood stayed on until I found a replacement


Put all the glass in it and got it moving again

Oh... and the CF duckbill haha

(Shit, it's still ugly)


Had the ching chang meow turbo for a while @ 8psi.... Yes it WAS an ebay kit until I got hold of it since nothing fit(which was expected)

- Thu Feb 05, 2009 2:11 am #94292

Was all fun and games, then I decided I wanted to try 12psi. Was street tuning it, ostrich came unplugged top of 3rd gear 12psi... detonated due to no fuel and got this



Real men put hole through both sides of the block.

Bought this gem that was rear ended for $1700. JDM h22a and lsd trans. Dude ended up giving me $300 back because the tranny was screwed up... someone took it apart and forgot to put a diff bearing in.




Got a new hood while I was at it and some crappy 13" no name wheels


Needed some color:




Looked good till I caught a deer and a guard rail(tryin to miss the deer)


Got it back from the body shop, need to have it repainted since no one makes the paint I used anymore... she sits under the cover for the winter while I do some upgrades to the motor O:-)

You sure about that? I am a photo whore
As people know me on other boards:


Del Sol When I got it (Don't get this confused with the Del Sol I bought with the h22 in it haha)

Mass dent in rear 1/4 area kinda hard to tell with the shit primer the car was sprayed in


My own personal touch to piss the local rednecks off


Got the car for $500, the ricer who had it before me neutral bombed it and shot the axle through the transaxle case


Moar rice douchebaggery:


Did the DIY $50 Rust-O-leum paint job:


Then I got a HVLP gun and some real paint:
Had 1 small run in the bumper, wasn't bad for my first base/clear paintjob


(Yes, it's tiger striped... no it wasn't perfect, but it still looked good and wasn't some ghetto ass perma primer paintjob)

Upgrade time:

- Thu Feb 05, 2009 2:45 am #94302 So the stock y7 auto with I/H/E said hello to some new friends.









(return of the e-ghey manifold ahhhhhhhhh!)

Used the pipe bender at my old job to do all my i/c pipes






Seemed like a good idea at the time lol


I had the right idea, but the dyes on the 1980s Ben Peirsons Muffler shop wouldn't let me do it >.<

- Thu Feb 05, 2009 2:51 am #94304 lil chop, cut n weld




Made use of the old e-ghey header for flanges haha





So after couple 1000 miles my turbo said F-U

- Thu Feb 05, 2009 2:53 am #94305 Great Turnaround!
Good luck on both cars, dude.

- Thu Feb 05, 2009 2:58 am #94307 Picked up a TD05H and went back to the boost drawing board.





Also snagged some plush integra sets out of a 4-door too... cause i"m a whore like that



Damn automatics kill the fun of a turbo car:


eventully swapped it over to a 5-speed after I hit yet another deer. Come to think of it that car has hit:
1 Turkey Buzzard
3 Crows
2 Deer
1 Hunting Dog
1 Bear

Guy I sold it to has hit 2 deer with it last year. I got tired of buying head lights, corners and fenders




edit:
As for the question of y7 turbo vs the h22. H22 pulls like a raped cheeta on cocaine. The y7 turbo was alright after the 5-speed swap. Only thing localy that beat me was a 01 F-250 with a banks upgraded turbo kit. Air Port has a "track" day everyonce in a while. I don't live near any race tracks and I don't condone street racing

- Thu Feb 05, 2009 3:11 am #94314 I really like what you've done with the hatch now only if I can get off my lazy ass and finish mine

- Thu Feb 05, 2009 3:43 am #94321

:thumb: I really like what you've done with the hatch now only if I can get off my lazy ass and finish mine

Heh, mine is far from done:
Mill head 0.010"
Port and polish(polish only going on the exhaust side)
Making a 4-1 header
Eibah pro kit on KYB AGX struts
wire tuck
Some sort of 15" wheel for the almost new set of Falkens I have sitting here
Turbo16 home made track bars
Zex wet kit with "75 shot"
Dyno time with Matt Shue
