this area is what i mean. the rusty thread in the center, that's the part i had to adjust to make the handle function 100%. i twisted the piece that rides those threads upward so it was about flush with the threads. then it would work. obviously you have to have that part disconnected from the handle.

 

Interesting, i will give that a shot not time i have the door apart. Thanks for the picture, made it really easy to follow.

 

Changed the rotors in the front, the brake pads, spark plugs, spark plug wires, the gaskets on the valve cover, and changed the valve cover gasket to my crx si.

 

FINALLY did my door panels for the coupe! original CTR door panels purchased from evil bay sometime late last year and finally got around to finishing the project. looks OEM but maybe that's just me. Civic Type R power door panels!!

SACRILEGE!!!

evil bay door panel material...

adhesive is everywhere!!!

looks pretty legit to me...

waaaaaaaay better than the old Light Grey door panels...btw my interior color is type k...black went really well...

 

Pull out my automatic pedals on my 97 coupe. got ready to put in the manual set but the rain had other plans.
have to ask, anyone know which to put in first, the clutch pedal, or put the gas/brake in then put in clutch?

 

It doesn't matter dsol.


As for me, i got an appointment to drop my car off and get it painted. Gotta scuff the bay and remove the lights, bumpers, etc. Went ahead and called hmotorsonline.com, ordered a new sir lip w/hardware and picked up a at of thin moldings.

Pretty excited.

 

I had installed both at the same time while I was down there.

 

Fitted coilovers and rear camber kit, changed gauges to type r and fitted a type r front strut bar on my EK SiR.

 

Doesn't matter. they're a bitch either way, but the clutch pedal is easier.

 

awesome. thanks for the info on the pedals guys.
Hoping tonight if I get some spare time to get the manual ones bolted in.

 

Did the tie rod ends on my black hx and detailed the engine bay. Valve cover needs to be painted but I don't have the time to do it right now



Engine

 

Along with the lip and thin moldings, I ordered both belt moldings and a new H emblem for the hood, right now Im trying to find a decent deal on the clips for the door panels and looking into if I wanna reupholster my current door panels. Each panel takes 18 dang clips...

When I removed the rear bumper I found a bit more rust, so that kinda worried me.

After I get the car strippedt he rest of the way, i have to have the glass come remove the windows and ****, then I think were dropping it off tomorrow w/the paint shop.

 

Guess pictures would make it more enjoyable

 

got the civic put in my name after having to fix a bunch of crap to get it to code for inspection...at least i have a lot of new parts right?

 

Had to get a new optima battery, the previous died after 2 yrs, wtf.

 

ever since optima sold out their quality has dropped drastically. they're junk

 

FML


I might start looking into lithium batteries

 

interstate is just fine.

 

Thanks to my boy K.rola for installing my horn.

 

put my rack back on.

Dropped cylinder head off at machine shop this morning. getting it resurfaced. hoping it gets done today so I can get my B20 assembled and ready.

 

I gave her a bath, she loves taking baths.

 

Bought a 98 Civic EX for my wife. 250K, needs headgasket. but runs and drives. used rockauto to price all the parts to get it running and back on the road.



Definitely needs a good cleaning.

 

Installed my new gather speaker grilles in my del sol! Interior is finally complete! So stocked now to finish the exterior
