    I had my friend drive in front of me to see if they would be too scattered to have on. but surprisingly they did not glare too badly.

    i have a dual pod like that and i dont know where to mount it either.
  • sethwalterssethwalters Wagonist
    Love the headliner. Like the dual pod location too. That'd look nice. Keep it up.

    I've always been a fan of dual headlight bikes. The ZX7-R with duals was my favorite bike that I owned, partly for ride quality, partly for looks.
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    Great work so far. Gettin many goodies. Always nice to have ur girl pose for pics to have all the guys see lol.
  • almostnickleealmostnicklee Wagonist
    Yeah it's a lot of fun to ride, and not too heavy either!

    I started to try and take apart the throttle body to clean. But o-m-g the screws on top of the plastic cover that is over it will not come off. :/ pb blasted and try tomorrow i guess. And im starting to realize my tool set is not as good as I need to do the struts right now. :) heh
  • almostnickleealmostnicklee Wagonist
    Update:

    Took off the throttle body and adjusted the TPS. As it sat it read about .650 OHM idle and 5.0 WOT. Which is pretty good, but a little high on the wot.(i do not know how to adjust WOT reading) i adjusted the idle to .500 tightened everything up and put it back together. After about 4 hours in 25 degree weather i started it back up. My idle is about 300 too high, need to adjust a tad. BUT, the first gear shudder is minimized A LOT. It is still there but not as bad. Next on the list will be the front motor mount. :) hopefully that will solve my problems.

    If anyone has any questions feel free to ask!
  • almostnickleealmostnicklee Wagonist
    Update:

    My first gear vibration is totally gone now! Thanks to the front motor mount. :) This is what it looked like coming out:

    Look at how badly torn that bugger is. grr. Good thing is that the motor reacts much better, no vibration, and it only took 30minutes. Any questions...ask away!

    Well today its rainy and cruddy here in wi. Yesterday I managed to make it to a junkyard to sneek around. I managed to grab a cargo cover from a blazer. it fits nicely, but i had to remove the trim that surrounds the seatbelt to mount it.

    251.jpg

    Nobody can see a thing!

    252.jpg

    I also got a free set of steelies from a friend. he broke one of my hub caps on the integra, so we settled on these.

    253.jpg

    The tires are garbage, but the rims are in awesome shape, perfect centercaps! So that got me thinking, I want a little color. Heres the first coat.

    254.jpg

    I think i may go with a black center portion with a red lip.
  • almostnickleealmostnicklee Wagonist
    I havent really shown the interior as a whole yet. Snapped a few pictures for you guys to enjoy.

  • BillBoardBillBoard council member

  • sethwalterssethwalters Wagonist
    More pics of the rear cargo cover please!
  • unlimited02unlimited02 Senior Wagonist
    rear cargo cover is nice...
  • almostnickleealmostnicklee Wagonist
    thanks yall. i just wanted to update. Put in am rt4wd steering wheel to replace the ugly boomerang. as well as a da integra front lip that i got from another HCW member pre-molded and cut! Thanks bigwillystyle. Ill post pics of the new stuff and more of the cargo cover later tonight.
  • almostnickleealmostnicklee Wagonist
    Here's the steering wheel installed. Im not sure if I want to keep the 4wd emblem on, or put in the old plain one. (i dont want to seem like im posing) :)

    Here's the pictures of the cover. Im using a hook from an interior handle to secure it

    704.jpg

    until i find a way to make the side mounts.
    705.jpg

    Here's the cover when its off.
    706.jpg

    These are the trim pieces I spoke of.
    707.jpg

    And the channels that hold the cover in place.
    708.jpg

    It fits pretty well. But its a very tight fit. so where it is, is probably the only way it's going to fit in here. Here's the gap on the right
    709.jpg

    and the left
    710.jpg

    It does make a little noise while driving. but in every car ive been in with these covers its normal. It was quick and cheap and it does do a good job covering everything. I screwed directly into my panels because the lady before me had already destroyed them by cutting holes/ scratched all over.

    Also. I spent some time outside yesterday and did front pads and rotors. stops like a charm. Check another thing off the list...
  • bigwillystylebigwillystyle New Wagonist
    leave the logo on the steering wheel man, thats what makes it. and pics of the front lip please.
  • almostnickleealmostnicklee Wagonist
    Well. I come out this morning to take pictures of the lip. and its gone. literally, someone came and stole it. :/

    Fantastic
