So I have been busy over the last few days.... I got a new windshield for starters and got the leaking interior fixed (I believe). So I dyed my rear faded seats black.


I had my mom sew the seats where I cut it for the roll bar so I could still fold the seats down to haul my bike with me.


I got my seats and harnesses back in as well...


Installed my CD player, hidden antenna, and a few other goodies


Lowered the front a little bit too


I should have some more updates soon!

I have Blox competition series coilovers for now. They ride good and handle well, but I might upgrade soon.

Thanks man! The shifter extender was made by a friend in machining class. Circuit Hero makes the exact same thing. I like it a lot. Especially when backroading. If its a quick downshift/upshift in/out of a corner, it puts you hand very close to the wheel compared to the stock shifter position.

Hopefully Kevin (b16b_coupe) will get some more good pictures of it soon

haha Sounds good Adam. IA will be so fun! Do you have a room yet?? I will take you for a ride. Its been a long time. I think you had one the day I rolled it out of the garage! Cold tires+my suspension set up = getting sideways! hahaha

I would love to drive the s2k again though

So, with the suggestion of another h-t member, I found the correct fitting stuff for my audio console! 99-00 civic si dash kit! Fits like a glove with an after market CD player with a little customization on the rear! Excuse the sh!tty picture, it was dark out.

hahaha! Its pretty crazy how much you can see. My mom was making fun of it a little bit, I told her to sit in the drivers seat and all I heard was "holy crap". hahaha It is weird getting used to it though
