My Si Ef-3 h22a hatch build

[jamrock]

Have you decided what colour you gonna paint her?

[vtecmossy]

Say i`ll do it championship white always wanted a boxy hatch in champ white with purple bits here and there

[bryan]

lookin good mate, hope your fitting the tatty old nardi too! had that years

[vtecmossy]

Have it there till i find something rare or a horn button for it might mess with it a bit paint the center or some stickers, like the wheel nice size and style so cant complain about it tbh its retro

But i have sorted a seibon carbon bonnet for it wont get here for a bit but cant wait

[vtecmossy]

Said i`d fit bonnet to see if i had major clearance issues wasn`t to bad at all was expecting it to sit very high like others i`v seen on american forums but nope does hit at the underside support and rocker cover corner, So started to raise rear to see if i can get it to clear fully but still hits and got lazy and said i`ll finish it 2moro


With alloy rad bonnet wont close so thats now scraped now need a b16 ef-9 rad





so took out half rad and tried again buda bing it shuts





So then start putting in washers to raise the rear to try clear the rocker cover needs some more washers stuck in later and will get fancy washers when i know how many i need



Was prep-ping this bonnet for paint but might not be using it if i get the carbon one from Crex

more to come soon enough

you can use a 16-16 radiator too, but will need sleeves for the outlet/inlet pipes

or... i will have a EE9/EF9 radiator for sale soon, that i was planning to get recored

[Colin_D13B]

Can you not cut off the radiator mounting positions and mount them lower to fit the alloy rad?

Well let me know if your selling re cored or as is

@ Colin
Could do that but judging by the length of it it will sit lower than the front sub-frame so it would take a hiding on the front over bumps and on the quality Irish roads would n `t last long plus would look retarded sitting lower than everything on the front i reckon

[bryan]

this is coming together lovely,

front lip makes a big difference to the early spec bumper

[vtecmossy]

Yeah front starting to look very different to what it was like when i got it from you bryan, little touches make a big diffrence it seems

should be gathering up the last few parts needed and wanted now over next few weeks to get it rolling then painted cant wait

[bryan]

i cant wait to see it go!

[vtecmossy]

Me either man no weight and a 2.2 should go like Shite of a shovel, can wiat to see your new motor looks so fresh in the pics

Rad sorted and something else just waiting on it now cheers mark EE-9

Carbon bonnet soon

Then its just tracking down a drivers side fork type lca or a set of aftermarket lca`s and a set of front shock forks and it should be nearly ready to roll for the first time in 6-8 months

[vtecmossy]

So raised the bonnet a bit more to stop it hitting the rocker cover had to trim few inches out of the under support but now its closes and can be slammed shut with no issues so happy out

A pic or two of my gangster style bonnet tilt kit a load of washer`s and some longer bolts for the bonnet





The piece i cut out and where i cut it out from aswell





And bonnet 100 per cent closed and raised and a very happy me



should be doing a good bit to it soon enough

[bryan]

nice one,

i must spin out to you and take a look

[Colin_D13B]

Lip looks well B-)
