'07 Hatch Project

[nesagwa]

Got this from my sister in law in about 2012 and have been dailying it since. Finally starting to clean it up and do some mods.

Done so far!

• Spec-D Halo LED Headlights installed
• 1ZZ Throttle Body Swap with aluminum spacer
• Cluster swap with a Canadian unit with tach
• Derusted, cleaned and painted battery holder bracket / hold down.
• Lubed the shifter so no more squeak and shifts MUCH smoother
• Replaced rear wiper motor with a reconditioned one - this was broken when I got the car, so it's nice to have now
• Replaced all interior bulbs with LEDs and color swapped the AC dial lights to white
• Replaced stock side indicators with the black LED ones
• Drag 15" gloss black wheels and new tires
• Replaced the inner fender splash covers and reinstalled bumper with the proper clips (almost all of them were missing before)
• Replaced rotted original roof drip liners
• Put on a tiny radio antenna mostly for looks

To Do:

• Install CheckPointTurning cold air intake (in blue to match the car), this is getting delivered tomorrow, so won't be "to do" for long
• Install Non Stop Tuning short throw shifter kit and carbon fiber knob. These are apparently out of stock, but a new batch are being manufactured now. So this will be about a month out.
• Fix the broken brackets behind the speedometer cluster
• Tint the windows to try and deal with some of this Florida heat
• New seat covers, floor mats, cargo mat
• Body work and paint restoration. This will probably be the most expensive and final thing that I do.
