It is actually mandatory to be in that exact spot, but the cops have been pretty lenient. The shops doing the safety are the ones who actually place the stickers on your vehicle. If you have the aluminum tab already installed they will place it on there. Another option that the cops are letting slide is an aluminum tab that fits on your license plate screws behind the plate and allows for the stickers to be placed on the right of the plate next to the registration sticker. I was personally gonna go for that one after painting my car.

Scratch that, I just looked at it and I have no room for it, if they let the window one slide you might have just started a trend lol.

Well...I know things will need to be replace some time in the future, but in order for you to not "lose" that sticker its best to have it on the inside of the rear window.

You can probably talk to a cop about it but thats how most states have their tags, inside the windshield.

For something that you have to pay out of your pocket for every regular interval man I rather not have to keep paying for a lost one because someone was too damn lazy.

Car was starting to run a little rough. Struggling at idle at times at red lights as well as seem to not have quite as much power when I opened her up etc.

With my bad rings on #4 and a good 6 months since I had put in the last batch of spark plugs, I was pretty sure #4 was getting fouled up enough to be problematic.

And since it had been about 3-4 years since I put in my Accel plug wires, thought it would be wise to put new wires in. And since NGK's run about 90 bucks here in BC I decided to get Aurora wires for 112 bucks so I don't ever have to do wires again. I love the 8.5mm Hybrid Metal Core Ferrite shielding for superior conductivity with extreme noise supression (Dyno boys favourite wire I've been told)

And the lifetime warranty:

And my #4 was definitely fouled pretty bad, almost shorted out and definitely causing the slight miss I had. #2 also had partial fouling but no where near #4. #1 (Farthest to the right) and #3 look near perfect. Can still see the V cut in the plug as it's only about 6 months old.

It's a good thing a set of plugs is only a little over 20 bucks around here since I have to put new ones in every 6 months or so.

She's purring like a kitten again and I really like the look of the new wires. They sure clip in way better both on the plug and the cap. The 8.5mm just barely squeezes into the wire holding clips but they do fit.

So after a long time I finally own a set of Volks! These are especially awesome because the owner had them sitting in his garage for 15 years and never mounted them!! Crazy. They are literally brand new. The date on the barrel sticker is 2000.

Picked this bad boy up today:
1993 honda vx hatch back

So after a few years of being away I'm finally back on HT! I have to find a few OEM parts right off and a few other odds and ends but other than that this thing is SOLID! I need a cheap stage 2 or 3 clutch and flywheel like yesterday, does anyone have any recommendations or just grab a cheap eBay one? I'm also looking for the hardware for the rear glass shocks for one side. There is no shock and just a vape sticker covering the hole. The AC is out but the compressor kicks on so I'm hoping it's just needing a charge :D

Looks good for a home job in HI. It's always funny to see the same old Costco tent being used by those of us here. Now I need to get around to doing that myself.

Thanks tent was given to me because some tubes were rusted through but replaced it with 1 1/4" emt conduit. Pallets here are free from most places and I had lots of spare ply from previous projects, its practically a professional booth lol.

got my new wheels on it. kind of unhappy. With the offset I'm going to have to put camber into it to get the height that want.
Started working on replacing some ****. New battery to amp wire, and started the big 3 but I ran out of wire. Oh well.

Started it and moved it under it's own power for the first time in over a year.

Also got it's new front speakers in it. Waiting on the new HU, rear speakers and more wire.

Replaced my clutch, flywheel and transmission a few weeks ago, also installed my 4-2-1 header, and just recently took a trip to Oklahoma and back, averaged about 45 miles per gallon, and didn't even have to try to do that I love my car!

Got my exhaust finished today. What an ordeal. I ordered an Apexi Noir universal and it would not fit, or my guy could not make it fit. So I ended up with a Flowmaster 60 series and had what I call "industrial ghetto" dolphin tip. Nice and quiet. The loudest thing is my intake which is totally fine with me.

No haters please.

Did a valve cover makeover. Partial shave, wrinkle black paint, and finally installed the spark plug cover I've had sitting around.

Finally posting something since we bought our Civic. Replaced the distributor, drove it 127 miles and no misfire CEL. She's a work in progress still.
