EDDIE Z Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Well I can't find my old thread on my car when I first joined this site so I'm gonna start a new one these are some old pics of when I first got my car at the end of the summer was waiting all winter for summer to start again so I could start working on my EG so here are some old pics first. Its a 92 VX hatch has 104k runs like a champ Now here is after paint and headlights. Installing headlights did not want to remove bumper completely screws were a btch to get too. All done Thats it for now got more to do to it it will take awhile though not rly working now so whatever I do its step by step.

Xeryon Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Need to update your sig now. If I were you: Looks like that car has AC. Out with it. AC system in an EG weighs 57 pounds plus parasitic drag. I gained about 3mpg average without it. Get rid of that huge cone filter and put either stock or custom make your own restricted intake. Disconnect your battery for 20 minutes (or whatever) to completely reset the ecu and then do a mileage check. Provided everything is in perfect order you should blow dwaynes mpg score off the map.

C92hatchX Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 very true, the guy that bought my old one, talked to a guy that was getting 80 MPG!!!! when you goto sell it, goto gassavers.org, they will snag this thing up all day keep it clean and simple, dont beat on it, keep up on maintance, get the best mpg you can and youre lookin at 3500 at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I used to use VX rims on my '00 Hatch when I ran it. Had them painted black with a red lip to match the Group N's on the rear. One of, if not the LIGHTEST factory Honda rim available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I plane to paint them white bolts red and the H on the caps red hopefully it turns out as good as it looks in my head lol. Still have to fix a few more things on the hatch before I start on the rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 HX rim is same, just one inch larger. Which is exactly what you need to install them on an ex civic. You will still need to grind just a hair off the caliper (I believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Never knew the VX rims wouldn't fit on SI hubs due to caliper sizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
