oops firefox crapped out on me, But i would do something like that but i dont have the knowledge or tools to do a swap myself. It would definitely be nice.....

but in all seriousness, this is why you make car friends and come to meets. get friendly with people that do.

Yeah i've been wanting to start going, not sure i can go to this upcoming meet my tags are expired and wont get it taken care of till the 17th. Should i risk going? hear there's a lot of cops around lol. Id take my wife's 2004 civic coupe 5 speed but she pinked it out with skulls......kinda homo

dont ever risk it. Ive seen alot of people get nailed for registration. Especially with our city budget in the crapper. Bring the coupe.

The old stock corner lights, they were chipped/cracked and foggy.

I went with the clear corners for now, added an amber bulb in the second light since all my corner bulbs were clear

added LED's to the license plate cool white

Finished this project just a couple of days ago, it was a pita for being a first timer. I baked the tail lights to clear out the bottom two lens and i drilled a hole in the back of the top lens to add a LED light.

Im not going to lie i almost gave up, I broke almost two sets of tail lights trying to take them apart lol

But i finally got them done, this is pre mount and pre wiring.

This is Before (stock OEM tail ligh night time)

This is After (with wiring complete night time)

Now the full back

Just got this done today, no more then an hour ago. Added a dual filament bulb to my front bumper, it orginally just blinks when turning.

This was during pre wire testing.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I was very tempted to leave it at the high output but i wouldn't have a blink for turning would have loved the brightness though

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

i'm on a camera phone so its not as bright in person but still looks decent

That would be sweet lol enigne swap or boost would be last. Want to get matching rims, lower then paint

For those that didnt know, my car did not have matching rims lol so i ended up picking up a whole set with tires.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

These tires are now currently mounted.


Thursday last week i did oil change/filter and spark plugs and found oil in my third valve so i replaced the gasket and rings.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


Now i did this last friday, it was a pain in the ass for a first timer. Inner and outer tie rods replaced.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

My passenger side was the one shot to shit, my driver side was good besides the fact that it was loose as hell from the rack/pin screwed in part, i was getting a lot of vibration in my steering and tire jump.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I got new upper control arms installed easily.....

Driver side (sorry for quality)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

passenger side....

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]



So now i'm currently in the process of getting it lowered, i've never done it so i had some help. but some things i learned a hard lesson from.....no more impact gun on lug nuts

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It snapped so we pushed it out.....fml ( i do need some advice on where to get them re pressed on etc broke atm but next month? or two weeks)


So my friend pulled out the spindle from the upper control arm to be able to get the strut out? it ended up breaking out the axle from the boot not the transmission. basically everything went bad it was a pain in the ass to get the lower ball joint to break because there was no weight support me and my brother in law ended up jacking it up on the rotor there were able to get the spindle off to remove the axle....... and got it replaced this morning still have to put in the axle and the spindle/breaks. Also passenger side bottom strut bolt broke with thread inside i was told to use impact gun to break the welded nut thats on the strut then just hammer out the thread getting ready to do that here soon.

Sorry forgot to add in this, i bought this on Saturday my day off in between tie rods changing and upper control arms/lowering lol

my car was dirty that night but wanted to sport it OEM bra?

yeah it only gets worse, i couldnt break the rear strut welded lug nut so my brother in law bent out the bottom of the strut, i think any method i tried would have ended up the same (boned) i need to press in a new strut mount but going to have to do without for a few weeks.

if thats the rear, i would just go to the junkyard and get another replacement. i know new would be nice, but rolling without that bushing for "weeks" would be dangerous.

Yeah i got the rear lower bushing ordered, i have a guy installing it tomorrow hopefully it all goes good

So i picked up some 96-97 accord map lights from the junkyard 2 weeks ago and finally got them installed yesterday. I didnt pull the bracket so ill have to get that next time but my cut was nearly perfect that they fit in tight and snug.

The easiest part was honestly cutting the hole lol.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Struggled a bit with the wiring only because the wire/gauge was too thick but i ran it back into the dome light for the tap.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I installed white LEDs, looks nicer in person

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

looks good!!
