Nothing, except that it's on a facking Accord



All this week I am removing stock sound dampening and Dynomating and installing kick-*** lightweight sleeper stereo. This is what you have to do when you love fast cars AND hi-fi.

Actually I hardly listen to the stereo. Most driving is done with stereo off windows down listening to motor/tires/road/birds.
Only on long interstate road trips do I close the windows, kick on the A/C and turn on the stereo. I'll make up for the weight with more HP

Edit: it's pretty naked right now:

I took the whole week off work as vacation. Instead of traveling off somewhere for an exhausting vacation I'm staying right here devoting all week to **** I've wanted to get done for ages. I can't beleive I used to pay "professionals" to do this... I find it fun.
If I could afford a custom 4-point roll bar this week I'd do it.

Having just bought a '91 EX and knowing absolutely Zero about them I appreciate the "naked" photos of what it looks like under the upholstrey. Beats the He!! out of the photos in a Haynes manual. Thanks ! I know it's not what you intended but I appreciate it just the same. Nice shots, digital I assume, how many MP's ?

Just out of curiosity, did your dash and controls come in all black? Or did you get that done? Thanks

Yes this is stock for the black exterior/ivory interior. I think the teal green 4th gens have the same interior. I'm not sure about the others.

Moroso battery box from http://www.summitracing.com. I don't remember how much, right around $100 I think.

MP = MegaPixels, measure of resolution on digital imagery equipment,( I'm not only old I'm lazy too ) shoulda spelled it out. Sorry.

I'll check it out, thanks. Don't have any shots of the underside of the dash around the steering column do you ? The previous owner took several of the modules down trying to trouble shoot a problem that so far I only experienced once but didn't put them back up and being 6'2"/ 230 it's hard for me to get up under there for very long to try to find the mounting holes. They keep getting tangled up in the clutch and I want to put them back where they belong before I put it back on the road.

2.1 Megapixels. Canon Powershot S300 Digital Elph. Works great in bright light but the flash totally sucks which sucks for me 'cause usally I'm taking pictures in a covered area. I take the pictures on superfine at 1600x1200 but for net hosted ones I shrink 'em down to 800x600.
I can take some of under the steering column if you want but I doubt they'll help you?

Removed the whole interior but left the passenger seat? That would have been first for me.

He is wiring a stereo system, so he didn't need to take it out.

Nice camera , I figured it had to be at least a 1.5. We have an Olympus C-3000, really like it. Can you get a remote flash attachment / that might help.

You're probably right on the under dash shot, not much room and trying to focus would be a bitch. Thanks for the offer though. A guy at work has a '93 EX Coupe, should be similar, I'll just eyeball his. I'll have to shower afterward though, the thing is a total pig inside. Real shame, it was a nice car. Teal with the beige interior.
