Decided to replace my clutch master cylinder with a cleaner S2000 version. It was in the list of mods when I first started my build, but never got around to buying one. I bought this one at the beginning of winter, and now its finally nice enough that I can work in my garage.

Here's the old one, just draining the fluid


S2000 MC on the left with spacer, and stock civic one on the right. Notice the reservoir is on the MC instead of mounted on top of the shock tower.


I have my brake master cylinder, hood latch and clutch master cylinder a bronze color, to give it a little more contrast in the engine bay. So I needed to paint match the new one




Paint dried and reassembled. I decided I should get a new gasktet for the firewall, so I'll be installing it on when that comes

Are you using LED strips, or OLED strips? I can't stand LED strips - I'm too **** to put up with the hot spots they create. I had to get rid of mine a few years ago, they were just annoying, and too "rice" for my taste. Now that I'm putting the final touches on the VIP interior, though, I'm tempted to put some understated footwell lighting back in, and wire it to the dome light switch.

installed JBL GTO608C component speakers today.
tweeters were kind of a pita but all I had to do is dremel out the oem tweeter out of its housing and epoxy that housing into the 1997 ex mount and wire it up. sounds amazing, especially for not running an amp or even an aftermarket HU...yet

also got the JBL GTO938 6x9 for the rear and they too are quite nice as well. All from amazon at a great price.

Have the x overs on the -6db switch right now and from searching the forums that is what others have said to run since the tweeters can get to be a bit too much and I could not be happier with the overall quality for the price.
Stoked.

Did you check RMS ratings on the speaker, as well as your head unit? Under powering can destroy speakers just as fast as over powering can.

Wired up the interior harness (switch, power, relay) for OEM foglights. I didn't have time to pull the bumper for the light install.

Also, bought some 15" OZ Ultraleggeras for my EM1 - they need tires, but can't complain about used wheels that were only installed for 2 days.

Slowly getting some stuff done.

Replaced my lower control arm on my 97 ek. Im new to the Honda scene tho.. I def need a lil help as far what im going to need for a b18 swap

Changed the clutch, put in a light flywheel, and rear main seal on my Bro's $100 Del Sol. (I'm sure he'll have the update posted ASAP.)

We pulled the motor and trans out from the bottom without using a hoist (even though we have a fully stocked shop, we just wanted to try something different... HOLY COW it was so much easier. And didn't scratch anything!

I'm definitely a believer in doing it that way from now on. It's so obvious that's the way they designed it to swap.

Well bled the clutch on the civic snd fuel pump took a **** so dont know if its fixed until i swap pumps

I think there regular led lights they don't get hot though. I installed the brigher ones under my dash so now they light up better and they match the back. Also to say something on a honda is ricer is kinda dumb...there created in japan. Another word for them is rice burners lol I think that the only people who should say that are people who drive domestics. Anyway, I got them from orielly, you can't even see the lights just the beams showing on the floorboards. To me I think there pretty nice and so has everyone who has seen them and nobody said a word about being "ricer" just that's cool as **** lol.

jbpnoman

"hot spots" doesn't mean it gets hot, it means there's an uneven beam pattern. Also, a car can be an import without being rice - it's all in how you modify it. You can even rice out domestics.

^ Saw the biggest POS mustang yesterday, falling apart bodykit and some japanese characters on the back...

I went to the junkyard to finish getting matching interior pieces... and I found a double din console that looked like it had been run over repeatedly by something at least as big as a smart car
Will now look in every car to check for nice double din..

Oil change today. Also properly plugged my old oil return line. Found yellow Teflon tape at Lowes (the oil/fuel line kind), and used that instead of black RTV. SO much cleaner.

Also, got these buggers in the mail yesterday, had them installed in <20 minutes. Who said a full leather EJ6 couldn't be done? :D

gave it a nice wash, and wiped down the interior a bit and busted out the q-tips to clean those hard to reach places

davidomalley

just need to find time to install it.

I hate this brace... It makes it so difficult to do any work to the car. Hopefully you don't have big arms because I can barely get my skinny *** arms to reach my oil filter with this brace installed.

zacheryleatherw

Ohh ya they light the entire floorboards up it makes it look like I have red carpet at night. I had a different set and it was like you were talking about the middle was brighter than the rest but these its the entire floor from past the pedals all the way to under my seat.
