Ordered an ek9 grille but realized I didnt order the front cover lol. Said **** it and installed it anyways (the grill cover for the USDM CX civic doesnt fit). Put a new badge on it too.

Added daytime running lights and rebuffed the headlights. Once it's complete, I'll share the photos.

Why isn't it working? Just put an LS bar on my CX hatch the other week. Had to drop the exhaust and the linkages to get it in there but it went fine after that.

Tried to fix a squeaky fork and slave cylinder. With the tools I have and limited space it was a bitch just to take off. Turns out the boots are all worn out and the grease is gone, so I greased it a bit but Ill need to redo the job and replace the boots.

In the middle of it, the apartment staff where I live said I can't work on my car in the car ports as its a danger to those around. -_-

Didn't really "do" anything, but had a new best tank on the VX.

10-tank average is just over 55. I credit the mpguino.

Or a DX with a small turbo. I was getting that pretty regularly on the highway, and had the get-up-and-go to have some fun when I wanted to, too.

Installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge in 2 of my ek hatches because they both had electric and one was reading 0psi at idle. The mechanical auto meters are great and thankfully it was a gauge issue not a mechanical issue. I feel like I dodged a bullet. Mechanical from here on out in all my cars

Started an ls swap onto a 99 ex coupe, then realized I didn't have the right t bracket. Lol.

Motors in, just gotta wait for the right t bracket (please no pm's)

Installed new Spoon 5spd shift ****. Was getting annoyed with my weighted Blox ****. Now I dont have to cover the shifter with a tower after leaving the car out in the sun for a little.

I did some new rotors and pads. Think I need to bleed them though, they are really weak.

Half success, half failure. Got my new grille molding in, and replaced my broken hood release cable (it feels like I gotta really pull it out for it to release though I'm wondering if its because its not OEM?).

The failure. I decided to finally install some side markers. The hardest part, the dremeling turned out to be quite easy and my cuts were clean. I made the cuts small so that I could just continue dremeling to get a tight fit. However, I was fitting the side markers backwards as I did this and didnt realize until I was done. So I installed them backwards .

As I previously mentioned, the paint job on my car has been flaking off really bad; when I pulled the painters tape off the right side of my fender after cutting, a huge chunk of paint went with it since I am planning on getting the car repainted anyways I just quickly went over it with a brush and touch up paint i was using for the cuts to prevent rust. It looks bad though in bright lighting.

And finally, after a few hours of working straight with no food or water (I was on borrowed time at a friends garage and wanted to quickly finish everything), I thought I would just quickly get the wiring setup, but one of the bulbs was dead, so I didnt do one side. The other side, I mixed up my colors and tapped into the red and ground, so the side marker is always on when the headlights come on and it doesnt blink. I am guessing the red is the headlight, green is the turn signal, and black is ground. Since I am not happy with the hack job wiring I did anyways, Im going to redo it next weekend. Yipee.

Pics for luls:




Oh that looks good right?





Oh. And its backwards. GG





At least I didnt put the molding backwards.
