Car: 93' Hatch

Post

Picked this up off of a local Nico member (koukimonster) after being screwed out of my last shell. My fault for buying a car with no title...it won't happen again. I did recoup my money parting the car out, though...and came away with a much nicer platform. Here are the pics...

here was my last one that I never received a title for. Bought if off craigslist from a kid in Charlotte.



Parted that out (still have several parts) and bought my current one...with NO interior and a hacked up chassis harness (both ends). So I ripped out the entire harness...every wire in the car. Ripped apart the 92', and put it all in the 93'...harness, interior, engine. Got a good deal on a 5-lug swap and that's where it's at now. Stock swap, stock boost, VLSD, 255 Walbro, eBay exhaust, Greddy downpipe.

9.3 @ 78mph 1/8th on my old 15's that for some reason would not hook.

Just ordered my Energy Suspension bushing kit, OE front balljoints, inner and outer tierods. Trying to get the suspension good before I lower it.

When I bought it



How it sits today



Took about 3 weeks to get that engine bay cleaned up and all the parts swapped...including time waiting for a CORRECT clutch set

Update: full front energy suspension kit installed (waiting on a buddy to do the rears on my spare set of suspension arms b/c i just don't have the time). Rear sway bar and subframe bushings done, though. New OEM front lower control arms installed. Stance GR+ pro's ordered but won't be here til' next month at the earliest due to backorder. 300ZX TT wheels ordered and awaiting a tracking number. That's about it...it already rides 100x better than before, so I can't wait til' i get all this stuff in and get it aligned

Thanks man. The bare shell was intimidating as hell, but it turned out a million times better than I thought it would.
