Just a tip: launch on the last yellow...not the green

I wanted to head out to CMI on sat., but I'll be painting my house all weekend.

redzcstandardhatch- That staggered set-up MUST be awesome for getting the rear end to rotate a bit more.

Picture whoring myself...my new home with 3 car garage

Nice house nick

My car is on stands and i was running it at idle. The speedo seems to bounce up to 80 mph and then drop back to 0. Mind you its in neutral, the tires are spinning maybe 5 mph. Any ideas how to fix this?

you still have a cable vss? I have an electric one and lately it has just dropped to 0 while driving. If I rev the motor pretty high it bounces back. Not sure of the problem. Probably the electrical component starting to fail.

Sigh. I don't spy any rust on it, but I guess I'll stick with my idea of the CRV as a daily. Much easier to find in good condition with low miles and still pretty cheap.

thats a good idea, i may get one of each. ima get another hood, the one on the car is pretty wavy and already has a good amount of bondo in it. ill probably end up wrapping that one in some cool graphics and rock it as a daily and paint the new one.

well using an hid pnp kit in a stock headlamp is absolutely stupid and dangerous...the beam pattern with be so scattered by the stock fluting that you will blind the **** out of other drivers(not to mention provide little to no improvement over the stock lighting)

the only safe way to do it on an ef is use a "projector headlight" with a proper projector lens...but imo all the ebay projector headlights look like crap on ef's

best to do the high(9005 i think) to low beam swap(retrofit the high beam bulbs into the low beam housing), and get some quality bulbs(http://www.rallylights.com/ has some good deals)...i think theres a writeup on efhonda or something...its not to hard(just a little dremeling), i did it and it impoved the light output significantly

Plug and ply hid look like **** on ef headlights. Do a retro fit with stock oem headlight backing and ricer headlight lense and that that together.
