I'm excited, I've been wet dreaming a ZE BG hatch for a few years now, and today the mule was acquired - base model, no options (just how I like it)...
Anyone know the curb weight of these guys? Mine's a '90, 5-speed, the SOHC monster.
The plan is to run low 13s all motor and mid 12s on slicks all-motor. It'll take some work, but it's a ton easier than getting a Probe to run 10s. Already got all the parts ready for the swap, I'll do it over the Xmas break.
Car looks pretty rough inside, and has a funky Seinfeld-ish smell inside but I'm sure a good shampooing, replacement door panels and a new headliner will do wonders.
For the swap I still have to read up on the speedo issue, and I don't know if the LX-model gauge cluster will swap right in (I'd like to have a tach), but otherwise it looks pretty straight forward. The body will receive the GTX rear spoilers, some mild side skirts and probably the Pakfeifer front bumper, though there are quite a few that I like. Going for a modified, but subtle look along with 16x7s all around.
I'm stoked!
