That map light is pretty slick. What cluster are you running, and is that the auto shift **** on a manual lever?

Im using gauges from a 94 Integra. yea its an auto **** on the lever. its just sitting there but IMO its better than the stupid manual ****. Just gonna have to get reverse threads in the **** to hold it on so its not sitting there

I saw the auto ****, and thought it was kinda cool. It sure is different. I need to find an Integra cluster and vss so I can do the swap. I think they look much better than ef clusters.

Using an old switch I fabricated a spring loaded switch for my glovebox. It is welded to the metal of the dashboard so that is one ground and then I have it grounded to a light so when I close the glovebox it breaks ground causing the light to shut off. Then when the glovebox is opened the ground circuit is completed causing the light to turn on.

welded the switch to the glovebox "guard" (the metal that catches the glovebox when it opens)


partially reinstalled


completely installed with exception to the wiring

GSR gauges to replace the auto ls gauges.

wired up my own door ajar light so if any of the 4 doors is open it warns me. its the far right light above the fuel gauge


Also if anyone noticed, I got rid of the 88-89 hazard switch and wired up the 90-91 switch

the hazard button is definitely cleaner looking too. Just can figure out how to figure out how to wire it up in my car to light up the hazard symbol. I have ideas but not sure I want to cut into existing wires and find out its a fail

how did you get the hazard switch to light up? and just in case ur talking about something different I mean the button itself isnt lighting when depressed. It sows up on the gauges tho

was gonna buy the whole car for $500 which is mad cheap, take everything off it and give him the teg shell back, then sell all the stuff I dont need. I still gotta go down and get the rear disc trailing arms, exhaust, seatbelts and ****. only charged me $250 for the engine.

Question is, have you cut the wholes in your actual bumper yet?
