Ok, here is today's cleanup update..

I did a shampoo job on both front seats, the rear cargo carpet(I may just have a new one made cuz I am not too crazy about how it looks), the front floor mats, and the rear seats. I also vacuumed and lint rolled the carpet to get all the crap and pet hair out of there. I went through 2 giant lint rollers to get it all out. Tomorrow I shampoo the interior carpet and start washing the interior panels(yay!)

My brother took a pic of me enjoying the cleaning


My cat was watching me bust my *** all day..the bastard.


Interior carpet vacuumed and de-haired lol!


I tried to use epoxy to strengthen the plastic but I couldn't get the pods off. So I used some oversized washers and some ninja foam to add some support! Now they don't budge and you can't see the foam underneath that will be supporting all the weight...hence the name, Ninja Foam :wink:


Here are the mats. These are SUPER clean compared to what they looked like before. Yes, I know they are not spotless, but that was the best I could do by hand. Steam clean maybe??


Here is the rear cargo carpet. Again, this thing is super clean compared to what it was before. Not perfect, but it'll do for now.


Spent over an hour cleaning my seats only to have my cats use them as beds(facepalm)


Tune in tomorrow for more updates

I noticed something while I was cleaning up the passenger side seat. There's some sort of storage compartment container thingamajig. Never seen it before.

vtecn8ive

JesseCRX

Perfect place to put a gun or some Pez Candy!

DCRB

Man your seats are clean! Lucky! The guy who owned mine before my buddy bought it must have been a bum or something. You definitely got a way better deal than we did.

hushypushy

pics or gtfo, never seen it myself either

Well, I found another interesting piece of plastic. It was in the glove compartment. At first I didn't know wtf it was then I put 2 and 2 together... VOILA!





I also picked up a DA maplight for cheap at the salvage yard!


The interior is shampooed and washed. Now just waiting for it to dry in the sun so I can vacuum it one more time. While it's drying I am starting on the vinyl interior parts. This is gonna be a real test of endurance ...oh LAWDZ!!

reptile

it looks klean!!!!

LoSt is BlaCk

exhaust is wagon specific. you can get other to fit with modification. as for suspension it's the same as civic/crx. 88 wagon uses the typer style rear lca. im using ksports coilovers with 12k springs up front & 10k out back on my 91 rt4wd. if you look in the group section theres an eewagon squad thread. lots of info about the wagon there

JesseCRX

I love doing inter-model upgrades and when I saw that I was like HELL YEAH! The wife is gonna love it for her reading and make up.

Well, I think I am gonna take my HR Race/Tokico Whites combo off my CRX and put it on the wagon. As for the rex, I am very close to ordering some Pic Performance coilovers and a full camber kit w LCA's.

I am finding a few threads about Wagons with regular EF suspension. The rear ends up a little higher than usual, but nothing extreme.

DCRB

hey do you by chance have a link for that da map light write up? i didn't find it when i searched. thanks!

When I did my interior cleanup I did the first seat with a rug doctor shamppoo'er, I did the other seat at the car wash just sprayed it with SHOUT, then pressure blasted it for a few minutes, you could see the dirt pouring off it. Pressure washer definately worked better for mine, they look brand new. Just took a few days to dry out. But you're in Texas so no biggie. BTW, did you used to be on super honda and have a blue crx back in the day?

JesseCRX

Yeah, I was a Superhonda mod back in the day. I got the seats pretty clean but I may take your advice on the pressure washing.

Nice work!!!!

damn good deal man.. keep up the good work.

Ok, I am finally done with the front half of the interior. Here's what was accomplished today.

1. Finished wiring the oem radio harness pigtail. Finished trouble shooting the speaker system.
2. Installed both my CD/Mp3 headunit. Also added my Sirius Satellite system, Ipod adapter and seperate DVD headunit. Also installed new 2 way speakers in the front.
3. Tried installing a fresh antenna, but can't find the damn antenna cable under the dash. I had tied a string to pull it through but it slipped off. DOH! Will try again tomorrow. Anyone know where exactly to look for the antenna cable under the dash?
4. Put the seats back into the car.
5. Started doing the valve cover gasket and tune up.

Here is the interior now(front only)













Tomorrow I finish the tune up(plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, oil change, rad flush).
After that I plan on working on the brakes. New calipers, ss brake lines, new drums n shoes.

Speaking of drums n shoes. Who carries them? Would they be dealer only? Advance Auto had NOTHING for the rear brakes.

More updates to come. Shower time!

JesseCRX

Ok, the engine bay is pretty much done. Did the tune up, fixed the CEL and the Brake light problem(faulty brake reservoir cap). I also replaced the heat shield with a fresh one and replaced the old rusty bolts with stainless steel ones to add some mild bling :p

Pics for comparison

After






Tomorrow I attack the paint to see if I can maker her shine again. Clay bar treatment..the works!
