As pictured the car is a '75 hatch. It had an original 80,000kms on it with the back seat and door trims still covered in factory plastic. Its was a 4 speed manual and was at one stage my daily driver. I paid $1500 for it off an old guy who had it since new and it had full service history. He even gave me the Honda mechanics home number if i wanted any further info. i have owned 11 of these little rockets always havin one as a daily driver so i don't have to drive my show cars. As you see it the car had 4" lowered suspension, exhaust, gold chain steering wheel, 3" peep mirrors and the custom plates. (SHAG) The back seat was removed and the install consisted of 8 x 12" subs, 4 x 6.5" splits and 2 x schneider HC amps. It measured 154.7Db and won every sound off i went into due to its low power class. Now the car is in pieces and has had a PROHOPPER 2 pump hydraulic kit fitted and is currently undergoing some body mods. I will post up progress photos as i get them.

'73 hatch - blue with graphics, D15 twincarb '92 civic engine with 5 speed, 17" wheels, NOS, custom 4-1 extractors, 2 1/4" exhaust with twin mufflers, coil overs, roll cage, race seats and harness', this was a nice little car until my mate crashed it, that's when the engine and NOS went in. Was an awesome street car and very fast, the paint was rough after the accident and everybody used to laugh until i beat them. (this car was originally a stereo car with the setup that went into shag before the rebuild. Wasn't gonna do any engine work until spoke to charles from racecraft engineering (angus now has car).
