Another Dutchie with a Hachi.

Hi everybody,

I'm relatively new here, I came here to look for a Hachi a while ago, and with the help of Robokill I have found a fairly nice example.
It is totally stock so I already bought some parts from Mux to upgrade.
New Apex springs and a full set of bushes are going to be fitted next week, also i will change all oils and upgrade the brake system which sucks.

After that I will buy a bucket seat and a thicker steering wheel, maybe even a set of 4points harness.

The car belonged to a guy who bought it himself nine years ago and didn't really know what it was.
I suspect he crossed his fingers and quietly sang halleluja when he heard how much people would still pay for his car. Smile

Anyway, here are some pics, it is a 1987 Levin Kouki Coupe.

greets

You could have told me your friend didn't drive with you in the passenger seat but pulled up in a damn S2000. I didn't notice until you guys drove away again...
I wouldn't have mind looking over the S a little closer Smile

Looks like you found yourself a nice little car. Needs a little work but generally looked in pretty good condition.

Let me know how the springs work out for you Smile

Well, it has been a while with the updates for the hachi, I am to busy with my Impreza for now.
Still I have done I few things, with big help from Lennert (Robokill), thanks buddy!! Thumbsup

The things done are quite the standard upgrades I think.
First up the bushings, this brings a big improvement for handling!

Then we did some maintenance on the engine and a change of oils everywhere.

We changed the springs, but the dampers need to be changed for a better quality ride, I am not satified with the handling yet.

The brakelines were changed for stainless steel ones.

And I bought a Quaife quick rack steering upgrade through a groupbuy on club4ag, this arrived today.
