Rotated tires, cleaned wheels inside and out, cleaned fender wells, lower control arms, fender liners, and muffler while the car was up/wheels off.

Thought I share what I've been doing with my sedan. I've been posting this in the group section.

Your interior seems to be coming along well. Like the new carpet, that's a huge improvement in all these 20+ year old cars.

WOOT! faced the cold and snow and got the civic timed. went for a test drive, but that only lasted a few blocks due to weather. but she idles a lot smoother. Can't wait for better weather to actually drive it proper...

Center console has been replaced but I didn't realized they were broken. Its broken in places you can't see so thats fine. Matches the interior. Now all I'm missing is the dash and steering wheel. Oh well, that can wait.

Found another headliner, going for round 2 thanks to my damn dog getting spooked and knocking the original headliner over and having the new fabric incorrectly stick to the headliner.

Its great to have remote start to get the coolant warmed up so you can have heat when you get in the car.

No issues with mine. If install properly you should be fine.

If done properly, it will never be an issue.
I've done remote start installs professionally for the last 5 years and the only time I saw people have issues is when people use those crappy scotch lock connectors, cold solder joints, or had a terribly mounted ground.

Swapped a B16A into my Del Sol finally. Replaced trunk shocks, swapped in the correct RPM gauge for new redline, replaced broken speedo and added 100K miles in the process. Seeing people working on interiors above is giving me ideas on updating the interior.

Same, alarm installs go well when the installer does it properly. I've seen shitty ones from shops, especially exposed wiring.

yeah I started green on installs but grew into some one who knows that a job well done is positive credibility on me.

Nice, any luck on finding/getting a charcoal dash to go with the rest of your color change?
