This past Saturday, we pulled the engine from the coupe and put it in the hatch. last Friday I also picked up a D16Y8 (Single cam VTEC) engine which will be going back into the coupe to assist in its journey back to the stock world. Check out Project 96 hatch for more info and pictures of the swap

Tomorrow we begin the transformation (a little early due to the incident with the 96 hatch) back to stock. I will be picking up an EX engine and removing the GSR engine tomorrow night.

Well, not much has been happening for Project 99 Hybrid Coupe. I have to break the news that we will be returning this car back to stock and selling it. This is mainly to make room for other project cars as this car is a very heavy platform the mods would be best used on a lighter vehicle, namely Project 96 Hatch. All modifications performed to this car will be transferred to the 96 Hatch. This basically came from the mindset of "Anything I that could be done to the coupe, could be done to the hatch with better results (Because of the weight difference)". I will be gathering an extensive amount of pics and videos with this car before it is returned to stock and this journal (Basically the foundation of what this site came from) will remain on the site for anyone that would be interested.

Replaced the rear trailing arms, finally installed the replacement brake lines (Goodrich), and replaced the rear rotors with Power Slot rotors to match the front because the originals were warped from the start. Lesson learned here is always inspect thoroughly any parts you buy used or get from the junk yard because you could end up in a situation like I did, After doing the rear disc swap, I found out that the trailing arm bushings were dry rotted on both sides. So what I had to do was swap all the components onto the original arms (which would have been just as easy to do in the first place) oh well, now I know that I should pay more attention to the parts I buy.
