Well it's been over 2 and a half months since my last update, mostly because of a rather lengthy moving house project and some holiday trips but the deck hasn't been neglected, just my civic5 time! So time to catch up a bit, let's see if i can remember everything that's happened. Btw i never got the crap off the wheels, it's just gonna be re-paint time if i want them to be like new again. First of all i removed my Moman plasma dials which haven't been working for a while. During the last fixing attempt i managed to overload the instrument cluster and a piece of the circuitry melted off. After asking around a bit bought some liquid silver and after 3 layers got it working without any issues, so now i'm back to stock which honestly looks pretty good to me. But sometimes de-tuning is a step forward... or then maybe i'm just getting old, haha! Replaced all the bulbs while i was at it. Ordered a new wing mirror to replace one i cracked during a too tight parking attempt, and while i had the door card open, re-located the crossover to a perfect spot i didn't think it would fit in during the initial install. Lot better here than in the passenger compartment! Then we got a new toy at work... Kärcher Puzzi car interior washer. I gave the deck a treatment and even though the seats don't really look any different (they weren't visibly stained to start with), the dirtyness of the water was pretty sick! Probably a first interior wash for this car. Also started to search for some Recaros, found three sets from Evo's all for a good price but in the end skipped them... why settle for second best when i know i can get DC2 ones eventually! There's one red pair for sale at 700€ here's but i think the price is pretty steep, and i really want the black ones with red stitching. Might have to wait i guess! Have i mentioned i bought a foam jet? It's pretty awesome! Since i stepped up the car care game decided i asked my friend to do a machine polish... 7 hours later with both of us working the end result was shiiiiiiiny! (looks kinda good without the roof rails, doesn't it?) Wow this is getting pretty long... i'll have to continue with part 2 a bit later at a better opportunity.
