Finally had some time to install my new seats. No more 25 year old foam dust on everything.

Got started on the harness mess nest. I installed an Amazon fuse & relay box between the passenger strut tower and headlight and will use it as the new home for my DBW, ignition coil, fuel pump,and wideband relays, but it’s not wired up yet. I hope the little guys like their new home...



It makes me want to puke looking at this.




Nice fit! The wires will run through the front.

I bought one! Lol picked up a super clean 99 sedan. Interior is mint and it only has 121k on it. Bone stock only thing thats really wrong is the paint is fading a bit. Super excited to get started on building this

yeah for sure that's what it is, prolly just do all the regular maintenance things first then start with bushings, stiffen up the chassis and get some coils on her, I have a spare pair of rpf1s so throw those on.


here's some interior pics

There was a leak and I didn't know where it was coming from, so I replaced my radiator, hoses and transmission coolant lines in my Del Sol.

I also fixed the bottom shroud with a few zip ties, since it was almost broken into three.

Drove home with the civic, mpg looks to have improved like crazy. Usually on my 2nd fill up I would be down to a 1/4 tank when I make it to my destination. I was down to half a tank even after hauling *** at 90mph.

Bent the valves in my mini-me. FYI, if you let someone else work on your car, make sure you double check their torque values.....

I've learn that lesson and will not allow anybody drive my tacoma, dump too much into the rear diff rebuild, drive shaft balancing, and engine maintenance already.

Fuse box is all wired up and ready to get fired up. All it needs is one more relay.

Issues with the speedometer in my eg not working have progressed to this. I don't recommend turning it up to 11.

New project car or daily driver or whatever you want to say I do with them. Bought it from a guy way out in the country, ive never owned a car that didnt have any door dings. Seriously it doesnt have a dent on it. Texas car so no rust or rot. Got it for about $1600

I got this one Steering wheel wrap . I have ordered a some from other vendors, but this one has been the best fitting and cheapest so far. I took about 3 weeks to get to me on the slow boat from China.

wrong. Thats a culvers burger joint across the street. I'm keeping the car at my work until my wife agrees we should buy another civic. Atleast I think thats my lie this time

lol

Ive still got a bunch of 6th gen pre facelift parts. I have another SiR lip and fogs that I bought used on eBay. This car needs a major the rod end on the front passengers side, ac system gone through (condensor and expansion valve) and oil leaks taken care of along with an exhaust leak. Suprisingly for a very neglected car ive got some very detailed receipts going back to 2006-2012 when the clutch and timing belt was replaced, but there is alot of oil under the car sooo may just replace everything again
