Karjis Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Quick update again- Footrest installed back where it belongs.- Cup holder installed. - Fog lights are now working with new bulbs. (Basic Philips Premium +30% H3 bulbs)- Honda Access original wheel nuts installed.- Thought about buying MG ZS, while cruising revved Honda to vtec, forgot the MG. During weekend I spent around 3 hours for changing left fog light bulb. Annoying project because basically I had to drill screws off to get light off from that metal frame, all screws were really rusty and didn't open even with soaking with CRC rust-off for whole night. And after that one screw of that bulb cover was seized really badly, it didn't open even with cutting the screw head off. I cut half of the corner off from that cover and after cutting I got it open with big screwdriver and hammer.. I have to say that fog light of M is tough, I used ridiculous amounts of force to open the lid, but all parts except the screws survived without any bigger damage. And all that work for lights I never use because those are useless. But okay, those are visible so it needs to work to pass inspection, another option would have been to cover the lenses, but it felt like ducktape fix I also got cup holder to center armrest on Friday, I like it. I also got screws for mounting the footrest, much nicer to drive with footrest in place, don't know why previous owner had wanted to remove it and leaving hole to the carpet.. Pics coming later today! And one sad thing.. I didn't install the airbox yet, I forgot to take all the mounting part with me when I drove to garage, so maybe next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjis Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Because this thread is worthless without pics, there is some!I think the least epic things to add, but still Okay, kick panel has been kicked a lot, I'll try to restore it somehow next summer.Okay "Installed" Took at least 5 seconds, I'll do the "Dave's mod" for the clip some day.And it's snowing again. And interior pics also show how dirty the interior is, I hate not having a garage Okay, with good eyes new wheel nuts might show up shiny. At least something done this weekend.

Karjis Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm always silently looking at good 4-2-1 manifold but it's not the top priority I have SRS 4-1 manifold but it reduces ground clearance too much, and therefore it is badly dented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjis Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 And okay, VTEC won't leave unnoticed even now. the engine sound tune to quite metallic roar even now, at least it's having Blox intake manifold so no too many curves in intake to muffle the sound And as a teaser, now here where I'm sitting, I see carboard box which contains valve springs, cams and maybe even pistons and injectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 - Thought about buying MG ZS, while cruising revved Honda to vtec, forgot the MG. Makes sense. And okay, VTEC won't leave unnoticed even now. the engine sound tune to quite metallic roar even now, at least it's having Blox intake manifold so no too many curves in intake to muffle the sound And as a teaser, now here where I'm sitting, I see carboard box which contains valve springs, cams and maybe even pistons and injectors Oooh, very nice.

Karjis Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Today I was doing some small scale winter slalom. It was fun like always, but those winter tires just are completely dead, no grip at all. Okay bit more than with summer tires but not much, on ice those tires were useless.. But well, that lead to long slides in slow speed That track was quite much quicker earlier, but it was mostly just ice and loose snow when I got there. Sorry about camera rattle, it was canon ixus mounted to cell phone holder.. aand i forgot to turn the radio off But, snow and ice TtlOEyWGYKM Speed are between 0 and 40kph, not fast, just fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjis Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I've been sick for last week, not much that I can do then.. Well, on Saturday I bought new windshield wipers, yey.. Pics? No, you have seen wipers in Civic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjis Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Okay, some pics about "new" part, something I have had lying around for a while, but I just haven't had all the parts yet. So new throttle cabel and bracket to install it on top of Blox manifold. Fuel rail is there just for scale, but it's part of E85 conversion project going on silently in the backround Cable and bracket are belonging to LHD Integra Type-R (DC2), I only need throttle wire pulley from scrapyard from some civic, and some time..
