4.4 or 4.7 Final Drive ? He’ll yeah B16B’s are so rare now a days… for sure am ek hatch is where they belong too.
Honestly I don’t know what the FD is
Stock b16b trans is 4.4FD. Throw in a 4.7 if you can though. You won’t regret it

Always loved those seats but never had a car color that would look good in combination with them.
Classic textbook build, in for more updates.

Stuff called LA’s awesome cleaner.
It really works super well
Removed the sound deadening, it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I can’t decide if I want to remove the rest (under the seats) or just leave it since I’m putting carpet back in.
Also got my door panels back from interior shop. Replaced it with the same color, except they used suede.

If it comes out in big pieces it’s always fun 
When I did mine it was a pain in the ass, couldn’t get enough dry ice at the time. If you’re putting carpet back in there it’s not really necessary.
Love the suède inserts, still need to decide what to do with mine but I don’t have real inserts in my 4th gen hatch.
I wish I could find brand new carpet.
Got a few random parts in. Shoutout to hybrid and nengun.
Also having a hard time finding the correct blue color for these recaros. If anybody knows where I can find he right color to recover these seats- please let me know.

Got. Wire-worx headlight harness and some SIR headlights. Waiting on a few more things.
I still need an OEM CTR intake if anybody has one.

Dang that M&M under brace looks SICK! Always impressed by the small stuff.
Any new updates?? Another thread motivating my thread to get (cough cough) “FINISHED”
Lol thanks man. No real updates. I’m just getting stuff ready for paint and trying to find a painter that satisfies my picky ass.
