Oh... and the wife just ordered a DC Sport header as well.

 

Painted the hatch today.

 

Checking the battery/alternator, can jump start it but won't restart on its own. Getting 12.3v switched off after recharge, getting 14.2v running with no lights, air con etc on and 13.9v with lights, air con, radio etc on.

I do have a slightly loose +lead, will replace that first and then see if battery needs replacing.

 

As long as that's only for the wife's car. Unless she drives like one of us it'll develop cracks pretty fast lol.

 

Purchased av synchrotech carbon master rebuild kit, new 2nd, 3rd &4th gears from honda to rebuild my b16 trans and swap to a 4.7 fd. Just waiting on the right time to get it out back together


This weekend ill more than likely stay my 99-00 coinage conversion in my 98 lx. Also picked up a replica mugen ferio wing for it to.

 

I washed my 92 Civic LX(haven't been washed in 4 months), washed the engine bay and applied shine protection to every rubber and plastic component I can find.
Wish I took a before and after pic, but here's how it looks afterward:






White cars are ALWAYS the hardest to clean....

 

Finished primer on my on my civic CX, it dripped a bit but will be sanded down tonight and redone. thank god it was just one spot...

 

Basecoat today is Friday






































Happy with my results

Hey guys just wanted to share a quick post. I Painted my car on Friday and finished Saturday

 

Looks nice.

I just bought and swapped out a shiny rear bumper on my hatch. Mine was faded and had scratches to the primer. New (used) one came with some pretty decent bumper stickers to boot. Add a couple of my own and the back looks fairly new again.

Also ordered my projector head light lenses as well as my smoked LED tail lights and my K6 side mirrors with LED blinkers on them. I'll update the post with a pic tomorrow after I take the pic.

 

I see the hint of purple, thats super nice. What color though?

 

Got my intake manifold installed today, so tight back there

 

Today my wife cleaned the interiors of both of our cars. Quite dusty and dirty.

I cleaned my back window and installed my honda-tech sticker to the window. Finally got the bad boy in place and I think it looks really good on the tinited window.



And lastly, I spent a few hours fixing my wife's daytime running lights. DIY coming soon, I took lots of pics.

Oh and I totally forgot, I also swapped out the hatch glass shocks on my wife's car, her's were blown and I actually found ones at the junkyard that still lifted the window. 23 bucks for the used but good shocks, and then 30 bucks for 2 new OEM window nuts and just shy of 10 bucks for the 2 seals. The nuts have aluminum threads and I learned the hard way that you can't reused them. They never come out properly. So since I bought a spare 2 nuts as back up, 100 bucks total to fix my wife's back window. The windows holds itself up every time now without issue.

 

Drove 600 miles round trip for a full set of 98-01 integra sedan seats for my 98 civic sedan...

 

Damn.....

 

They hardly ever pop up for sale locally,and if they do they're from a coupe. so i drove from kansas city to grand island, ne.

 

Had some leftover plastidip from my temporary taillight lens fix. So I went for it.

Now I'm working on some stuff for the interior. Speakers, radio, wiring everything in and gotta put the cigar lighter back in for my phone charger.

 

it is nighthawk silver and Blue Pears 1 layer blue pear and to coats clear

 

I really do plan on painting my car out of my garage now, how many qt/pt did it take to lay down the base and clear?

 

That is an awesome color I love it.

 

Bought LED's for my interior and trunk, too damn dull to see anthing. Also bought LED backup lights as well. Its pointless to put LEDs in our tail lights because they don't have a chrome reflective backing, its just silver back there. The LED lighting won't be amplified back there.

 

I bought whole new lenses with built in LED lighting.

I should be receiving them shortly. Will take some wiring as they don't come with OEM plugs, but I yanked the plugs from the junk yard just for that purpose.

I'll display them once done.

 

I'm looking at chrome paint, like actual chrome and not the stuff you find in the zone and o-reily's.

 

The equipment and chemicals to spray chrome is not cheap.

Trying to remember what shop on Discovery Velocity did the process, but for the life of me, I don't remember.

It was really kewl though. Cheaper than true chroming with electrolysis and dipping etc but still not as cheap as paint as there is a special sprayer and at least 3 or 4 chemicals.

Here we go, this machine is $7750.00:
Gold Touch Inc Cosmichrome spray chrome machines

This one is 5000 for the machine and 500 for hand pump chemical kit:
Chrome FX Machines Spray Chrome Paint Spray Systems

This one doesn't even provide the price so you know the quote is near 10K:

Hey now, a small system for under 3000 seen all the way at the bottom:
Spectra Chrome Equipment

So if you are serious about spray chrome, can you share some of that wealth this way?

 

put on my new tb

 

Finished rebuilding my nsx calipers. Ready for install soon.
