^^notice the bronze hatch window? yes, thats the factory paint! #nofilters
as for the interior. not quite done yet…still havent found time to play with the secondary fan & cruise control switch…but yea, im glad the dash is finally back on…less clutter in the garage
Beautiful car and excellent build thread!! Keep up the good work. I went the same route with the xsi hatch, much cleaner IMO having the brake light on the wing, plus u did the wiper delete
@ Gravex3400 Thank you!! this rear hatch was a major come up. i couldnt believe i found a jdm one in my color! i just had to junk the rear wiper. i live in CA, hardly use it.
[QUOTE=unified112;2287432]Love the car, and the swap
But the bronze glass kind of sticks out being that the rest is USDM. Looks like a half-tinted vehicle heh.[/QUOTE]
Really? to the untrained eye nobody really catches it. i only notice it when i look in my rear view
LOL, i clamped down a micro fiber cloth too it, it’s a temporary thing…
im debating either a AEM filter or Blox Velocity stack style filter. wouldn’t mind a K&N either
I would suggest K&N, they are amazing filters. Plus you can go to any auto store, buy one of any sized preference and go. I bought a charge kit the other day after having mine for 3 months, I sprayed the cleaner on and started to wash and my mouth dropped at all the stuff and blackness that came off it. I sprayed new oil on it, let it dry and went for a drive… You thought your car was loud before? Just wait til you put one on when you feel and HEAR the growl of power sucking through that sucker! haha
[QUOTE=unified112;2287474]I’m not saying it looks bad… just saying it doesn’t really match… I wouldn’t swap the hatch unless I was doing rear-quarters and doors as well.
Just one of those ‘personal preference’ things. I’m in no way trying to dog your car, sir :)[/QUOTE]
Not offended at all, we all have our own opinion, i do plan on getting the side windows. it’s one of those things where i really want it, but not gonna do it until i have it all apart for paint…i consider myself very lucky to find a jdm hatch color matched to my car

[QUOTE=Silchuki14;2287602]You probably said it earlier in your thread but what axle did you use?? One of mine broke (ghetto setup) so I need new ones.
Thanks[/QUOTE]
My left/driver side is a passenger rsx axle with the inner joint swap from the driver side
My right/passenger side is a left/driver side 97-01 honda crv axle.
Im running Hasport mounts and Karcepts 36mm hubs.
I have a feeling my driver side axle is going to go out on me…still not satisfied with it
[QUOTE=Silchuki14;2287635]Why do you say you fear your driver side axle coming out? Do you feel it’s too short?
I don’t know about 36MM but I have been told that I only have to use RSX axle with swapped inners.[/QUOTE]
yea, thats what im going with, i still dont trust it. The outter joint is leaking grease from the big clamp (slowly). going to have this side re-sealed until i find a solution…
Just talking about your build today! Telling the tale of greatness that is this thread sorry to hear about your axel issues. Have you considered something of a aftermarket maker, Im sure Marty at raxles could help out.
