Okay now that i have figured out the picture i will keep going with this thing..
this is the first couple coats of paint.
This looked good for a while but realized after test fitting some things it would get pretty scratched up. i will have to repaint eventually..
Heres a picture of the engine bay how it looks today.. i have my avid mounts set in there to test fitment, painted the cradle and put the headlights in to test fit..
Ground down the wheel wells and re undercoated them with good thick stuff..
Sand blasted the control arms and tierod ends and hub assembly and painted those also..
Now that the car is close to ready i started on the wiring... i have a 99 ex enginE harness i am converting.. i need some help with this..

anyone know where i can find the pinout for the green connector on the engine harness.. i know it goes to the dash but i have an extra plug with a green wire that goes to that green connector and a black wire that mush go to a ground.. i will have a picture later todayh or tomorrow but anyone have any idea what it may be?

From memory... There are a few green connectors under the dash. I think you need to be more descriptive. A picture will help. Is that a B18B you're dropping in? The state of your wiring harness makes me cringe.

Not digging the rainbow of colors for the suspension/steering geometry, but to each his own. Looks like there will be a lot of attention to detail. Good luck

Ej8man.. its the green connector thats on the engin harness itself. heres a picture..i have a green wire coming out of that going to a plug with a black wire that is a ground.. what can this be? and its not a b18b its a b18c1

Re: 2000 civic cx build thread
I've got an exedy stage 1 on my car right now. No problems. Smooth engagement. I'm replacing it with an ACT XTSS when I drop in my turbo build in a week or so. Just to hold more power though, but I haven't had problems with the Exedy. I've got a lightened flywheel too, but I'm not sure of the weight/brand. But, it does seem to rev a little faster than a stock flywheel.
