I think i figured out my need to swap my car... I have to surpass this one somehow. Not easy, this one has 191k, while mine has 315 :shock: This is so much cooler, I have to compensate! There's no replacement for displacement...
yes sir.... that thing looks sweeeet... those wheels compliment the color of the car perfectly... great job trev..... ... crap i glanced at second pic so quick i thought it was a crv... 4 a quick second... like a milisecond
Nice! The cd player was my favorite ''mod'' on my car. LOL I need to get these 6.5 Polks in my pods and make some ghetto mounts so Im not running off these shitty front speakers. haha.
I doubt we'll use the CD player much... see the USB port? Right now I'm copying CDs to a flash drive- the display even shows title and artist. I can put how many tunes on a 20 gig stick? :shock:
Funny how technology changes. I paid 10X as much for the system with 10 disc changer in my boat 10 years ago.
Ah, nice! I want to go that route once I decide to upgrade head units. I had an old tape player that didn't even play the radio half the time so I just threw in the Sony for now. I'm not terribly worried about the stereo right now though.
pardon for the intussion but where did you bought the roof racks rivets coz i only found the rubber ones. i need just like what you have copper. please share some info.
a shot of my redneck drill stop. The headliner in my car has some holes because I didn't think of this :oops:
Anybody ever manage to get this piece off? I'm trying to address all the little things that bug me about my car, like the door handles, this trim, weatherstrip oversprayed etc.
Hood is the only odd-colored panel, will get resprayed. Masked off decal:
I had accumulated all this stuff for my car and well, I don't need it! So... she gets more hand-me-downs.
Before
during- mocking up for wiring
after. still have some neatening up to do.
Started right up, as if nothing ever happened. Only snag was a nasty fuel leak- you never know about junkyard parts! I had just put the complete intake on the way I pulled it, and the #1 injector o-ring just poured. I thought I would have to go buy new seals, then I thought about my drawer of leftovers from 2 recent rebuilds...
got 'em! Now all that's left is to put the manifold brace on, work on some wire and hose routing, and then cam swap!
It took me nearly all day (first time I've done it). It could be done waaaaay quicker, but I'm not an electrical guy, and I'm sort of a perfectionist. I de-pinned and replaced plugs instead of soldering, used the OE shielded wire harness for the CPS, relocated TPS on the harness instead of extending, etc. I would think If you're handy it could be done in 3 hours or so?
edit: to finish answering your question, I would pay the hundy instead of doing it again.
how long did it take you on the wiring from dpfi to mpfi im debating on doin it or buying the harness for 100 already done.
looking good by the way
Please research it before you pay $100, it is very very easy!! Get the pins from for the ECU from another Civic at the salvage yard, a resistor box, some wire/loom and you should be set. You're gonna pay that money, get the wiring and just be pissed with yourself!
Test drove it tonight, feels a lot livelier. I'm having second thoughts about the cam, though. I've been reading that because of the d15's lower deck, the cam timing is wacky- half a tooth off, so you have to jump a tooth and then factor that back into ignition timing? ugh.

After driving it to work today, the driver's seat was pissing me off. So i came home and changed it! I had grafted a decent passenger seat cover and padding onto my shotout driver's seat a long time ago, and since I put the Integra seats in my car, I just put my old driver's seat in this one. Still has wallyworld covers, but at least you don't feel like you're falling out the door!

By the way, they're steel, not copper.
Painted up the muffler from my wag, put it on hers to see if she likes it.

Or just throw an adjustable cam gear on it.
