so my prelude has some nice foglights, but they didnt work. i found the ground to be loose and it has wiring that needs cleened up.


you can see the wires from the front




in the bay

so i jacked the car up, took off the wheel, pulled the fender cover, and ran the wire thru the fender and out near the headlight.


there we go, white wire gone!



fruits of my labor, working fogs and no wires hangin round. more to come.

allright did some more stuff. i removed the blox sticker, replaced the yellow coupler with black pleather on it with a black one and replaced the electrical tape on the unused vaccum port with a plug. then i stripped the vc, and sanded, primed and painted it green off of a old accord and cleari it.

Why is the car lower in the back than the front?

i thought that also, but i blamed it on my wavy driveway mostly. but looking at my new pics i agree. im going to check to see if possibly the front and rear springs are switched around when i have my wheels off.

ok so im waiting on some parts so i decided to do some engine bay cleaning.
here is a pic before i started cleaning.


here is a pic of a sensor that is right behind the abs unit that has 2 vaccum lines running to it that are crusty looking. so i took the sensor of its bracket and moved it over by the i.m. it cleans up that side a little bit and i plan on extending the harness and moving it to the firewall or a more hidden location.


you can see where its temp. mounted by the corner of the valve cover.


on this side of the bay i moved this connector and the amp wire.


and the bay cleaned up with meangrean and elbow grease.
