With that steering wheel you've got, and the fact that you drive 100 miles a day, you should consider a cruise control retrofit...? I've got a DIY on it, as well as honda.lioness, so you're in good hands.

Deschlong,
I had seriously considered a cruise control upgrade, but my wife and I just had a baby a month ago...I'm lucky I was even able to finish this project. If I bust out a project like a cruise-control upgrade now, I may as well start looking for an apartment. Maybe someday tho.

Oh, and to answer your question about how I wired the lamp up, I'm embarrassed to say that I did not wire it up to the C556 connector...I did it the easy way and plugged it into the accessories area on the front of the fuse panel. I hope to fix that later. I did wire the back up properly so that the light comes on when the hatch opens though.

yo i know this is a old thread but can you give me a diy on make a t bracket i just bought the full front and back jdm seat conversion from hmotors and gave me all the bractes including the t bracet but its missing the bottem half that supposed to attach to the car do do i make one and what would be the best way to make it?

fungus mungus

If all you're missing is that bracket, you're lucky. All you need is a sheet of steel bent into a modified "U" shape. Like this:

The little tabs on the bottom should have 2 or 3 holes in them...that's where you'll tack weld them to the car. The top flat part of the U will have holes in it (2, I think) to bolt down the T-brace. Make the holes big enough to allow for adjustment of the T-brace and you'll be good to go.

Any fabricator could turn out one in minutes. You just need the measurements (which I don't have, but I suspect someone out there has one they can measure). The critical measurement to have is the height of the bracket. GL,

Well, cr@p, my sorry attempt at ascii art isn't working right. Here's my sorry attempt at a drawing that hopefully illustrates what I'm talking about:

mrharmonic

fungus mungus

Whatever works...as long as your passengers won't go flying backwards when you step on the gas, you're good.

Arthas

Wow and I used to think EG's had ugly as interior!! yours looks great OP, I really like the center console set up you got. You drive a lot, any plans for an aftermarket deck with new speakers all around? Im sure those paper cones must sound like ****!

mrharmonic

yea it's compltly welded around the whole seat bracket. not just tackwelded. all the way around funny part was i was to wrap the seat up and make then a little moiist that's why they didnt burn but all and all it was all good next is the autopower four point roll bar coming in after this week

fungus mungus

Thanks Arthas,
I'll probably keep the head unit stock, but maybe put a power amp in the car and get better speakers to replace the paper speakers. But my engine swap is being installed in 2 weeks, so that will have to wait.

BTW, I replaced the leather-wrapped steering wheel with a JDM ITR wheel w/SRS. Even got the SRS and horn working!



Mrharmonic, so you welded the side seat brackets to the frame? Woah, I guess you won't be pulling those seats out anytime soon.

fm

mrharmonic

yea to the frame make ****ing theives work for it lol im planning a low jack thats why so once i get it imgona make a custom box around the wheel well and welded the **** out of it there so why there trying to pull out the interior gives me time to actvate it and cops to find it

fungus mungus

LOL...I see. Someone on the board actually had their EG w/JDM rear conversion stolen. They recovered the car and the dumb@ss thieves left the interior alone. Go figure. :/

^^ Too bad .. I think you're gonna miss that old wheel! Ah well, it will come back out once you retrofit Cruise Control ... mmmuuhhahahahahahaha ... at 100mi a day, I know I would ....hmmm, the seed is planted now, isn't it ....

eg6r4eva

great find looks good

eghatch420

Looks so sick! My rear interior is gutted right now, this makes me want to put my interior in, looks so clean! Job well done.

Ey what did you do to the needles in your cluster? Is that like a jdm cluster or what? Cuz looks freaken sick. And how much you get that leather wrapped steering wheel for?

fungus mungus

It's just a USDM SI cluster. I painted the needles w/orange marker paint. Takes a really good fine tipped brush (eg, Windsor & Newton) and a steady hand. The original leather-wrapped wheel I bought for $150 off of H-T. I've actually got it up on eBay right now (search for "leather eg civic wheel" an you'll see it).

96honda_EK

Dam the orange makes it look way sick? Um heres another question? How'd you get the cluster to show amber?

fungus mungus

Just pulled it out and swapped the bulbs for orange bulbs. There's a DIY on H-T here somewhere.
