it says EF/EP3

I think they might have got it wrong. Its probably just for a EP3 because not a lot of companies have seat brackets for our old *** cars. Next closest thing is DC but those only work for a 90-91 EF CIVIC

Haha, well I guess the peeps that paint around here just suck. I tried to have a fender and a grill matched on my 2000 Milano red coupe and they couldn't get close. *shrug*

lol it's hard to match just a panel sometimes, I get pretty close sometimes but sometimes not so great. I repainted a bunch of **** on the Crx and it matched pretty well and it was different paint. Crx was painted with Dupont paint and I used Sherwin Williams paint.

You guys do realize by messing with filters in PS you can change the color of a car right! Far less work to do it that way, but of course not nearly as amusing.

Nihkon just told me you desaturate then add hue/saturation toi change the color.

I dont know if I did it this way or not. I'm at work right now so I cant check to see. I try messing with it tonight after work. I will change my car to red.

I Found a great deal on some sir-II cams 25 shipped for both.

I found out here that my a1 has poopy cams here http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/temp/VtecCams.htm So i decided to get these.
I think its well worth the 25, even if they dont do much i can sell my old ones for $50 and pocket 25 bucks.
I was wondering if anyone had any links to the specs on both, like lift and duration.

a lot of work for minimal gains. even if you do pocket $25, its not worth it. i lose more than that in my couch cushions.

In my case this too has its drawbacks... work is really tough when you arent SUPER interested in the feild... but i go home looking forward to turn wrenches

Just to ***** it up a bit, this is where i work, onsite everyday for a mechanical HVAC contractor (steamfitting, ductwork, etc..)


(These images are credit of http://www.phillyskyline.com Andy is a great photographer and runs a cool philly site.)

And speaking of seat rails i wasnt planning on posting pics but i just finished my semi-diy rails and sliders for my f1spec seats. They are ready to bolt right in after many hours of migging, mocking and drilling



Total cost of rails: 10$ 1/4 Steel + 300$ welder + autodim mask + many hours ..... &gt;&gt; 175$ for bride rails

After 900 pages of casually lurking i figured i should post some pics....

yea. The f1spec seats come with new sliders but the EF rails werent in stock. So what i did originally was constructed my own rails reusing the civic "tabs" after testfitting i wasnt really satisfied with how well it was sliding due to it being *slightly* racked. Eventually i ended up cutting apart some extra rails and sliders i had around and made braces to bolt the seats on to, as well as a seat belt tab. No sense in getting a harness until the car is caged...
