All purchased from Marc_EE9 last week. Got them shipped hella fast. I bought'em on friday, he shipped'em on monday & and they showed up this afternoon.
I decided to plug in an integra pr3 ecu that I was going to use just to pass inspection (I have a ps9 but a manual transmission so its throwing a CEL for the auto tranny lockup solenoid). If that makes sense to anybody...... And the car runs prettttty good. With the ps9 (EX automatic) ecu my idle was surging from 1200-1900rpm even after cleaning out the EACV and burping all the air out of the cooling system. When I plugged in the pr3 (DA integra ecu), the idle sat at 950rpm which is where is set it. The car also has better throttle response and makes more power at the top end. It almost seems like it makes my d16 SOUND more like DOHC somehow! Pretty interesting........ the only bad thing is that when I let off the throttle it doesn't drop rpms immediately, I think it has something to do with the fact that the throttle body is from an automatic.

I did an auto to manual conversion on a '90 Civic awhile back, for some reason or another I think I had to do something on the intake-ish area. Can't remember what, which means it would be helpful to you
Feij, did you get those rear wire audio factory installed left and right stereo while installing...

Yeah, I knew about the speaker wires. They were already loose, mine originally had the rear speaker pods but one of the previous owners removed them. But, the rear speakers that I got with the interior were blown. So, no need to hook them up yet. Thanks for the heads up.
went to the junk yard got me another set of rear mud flaps... rear speaker pods... YES! and a clean driver side fender... going back to get more stuff....
updated: went and grab 3 center caps for the RT wheels for a wagon memeber and got a me a very strong 5spd pedal assembly...
My ignition harness behind the key decided to stop working today, so I went to the Junk Yard and got a new one, also picked up a new rear wiper motor, got those installed and my passenger mirror came in the mail today so I got it installed as well. Didn't want to drive my new trailer without being able to see behind me on that side.
I did a royal purple oil change today, and attempted to replace my O2 sensor. PB blaster and vice grips didn't cut it for the O2 sensor, so I went and bought a 22mm wrench and I'll try again tomorrow.
Comments
Also, gave it some autocross "love" over the weekend.
Word to the wise, the cable shifter in the RT wagons isn't the best set up for autocross
:shock:
post a picture of the blades when you throw them on the wagon
Here they are. Not exactly what I was going for, but I'm happy with them.
Also, ordered a little something-something for the wagon while I was there...
Custom plates maybe?!?!

Not exactly sure what you mean.
The oem rear speakers came in the interior pieces, but time had taken it's toll on them and they no longer worked (foam surrounds had deteriorated).
Not a big deal, I've got some nicer speakers somewhere that should fit without much work.
glad your happy with the parts

THANKS piercesean for the flaps
DX mudflaps (didn't even know they made DX flaps)
