Yesterday was Mod Day (pics)

So yesterday i spent some time modifying the car some more, installed my airmass 2-piece header, and one front motor mount instert. and i'm quite happy with the results :) you can tell a difference with the mount insert already and no vibrations either :)

dirty car....dirty dirty dirty :lol:

comin along good...so what's next?

:dunno: roll it off a cliff? lol
yea its dirty too, damn winter :(
but i think next will be the rear mount, and figure out my fuel problem too

I like the interior. How did you hook up all those gauges? Do you have a fuse block hidden somewhere?

Confused..
You just got a header, but in another thread you're talking about making room for your new intercooler?!

Oh, and I think your rims are on backwards. :p

Your car is a dirty whore.

Do you have any pics of the seat belt harness mounting points? I thought about using one with my stock seats but pplz said it wasn't a good idea.

nope, no fuse box, just all going off the same power source with an inline fuse :)

header was free so i jumped on the deal :) lol
turbo should be going for next winter tho because the car will be stored,
nope, rims are on right, the say L or R, L is on driver side, R is on Passenger side :)

why isnt it a good idea?! mine have been no problems what so ever :) i just put them on at the factory mounting points for the rear belts :)

how much did you pay for those rims? are they pretty heavy?

how much did you pay for those rims? are they pretty heavy?


paid 100 bucks for the car, scrapped the shell and took all parts off it :) so i guess u can say 100 bucks lol
not that heavy either

I think they look pretty cool. I need to start looking for some new wheels...

looks good :thumbsup:
i think your next mod should be degreasing your engine block/tranny!!!

as for the thermostat ground...I'm kinda baffled on that one. There should be one there...as you can see by the blank hex bolt there....
That is the hex bolt for the ground to bolt to.
Anyways...i've never been able to start a car without that ground attatched...maybe your harness is grounded some other way thru your wiring...ahhh well.

thanx man :)
i like em too, thinking of stripping them and polishing them :)

Thanks :)
lol yea, blocks dirty, needs to be cleaned badly, will come in time tho (summer)

yea it might be grounded somewhere else, but i didnt remember removing one when i took the motor out

I like everything except what's stopping you from painting the rest of your car? that would be a first priority for me...

Check out the pic of the motor, there is another ground attached on the front valve cover nut, going around to where the starter is.

why isnt it a good idea?! mine have been no problems what so ever :) i just put them on at the factory mounting points for the rear belts :)

im not sure what you mean by the rear belts?? Do you mean the lap belts, the shoulder belts, or both? any pics of this???

oh and the reason some ppl say it isnt a good idea is bc of the angle you mount the shoulder straps, they should be attached to a roll bar or something similar to be at the correct angle.....but thats what I hear. :eek7:

Hey thats real slick. I really like the neon on your subbox. Could you tell me how you hooked it up? I've also been wanting to paint my interior, could you tell me how to do that? Those fog lights look dope too! They give it that nice nerdy kid wearing glasses look! Are they Hella? Hella cool if you ask me. Keep up the good work Derek!

are those crx si rims?

that engine bay is looking nice! how much was your optima yellow top? I'm thinking of going with them for my next bat.

well... since i blew out another diff tonight, (very bad night, buddy got stuck mud boggin) there will be less money for paint,
and nope, thats a ground for one of my accessories

are those crx si rims?


no, 90 teg GS rims

coming along nicely now mate

i would give the interior a bit of the OEM look at get rid of the blue bits,

hope you find the bastards who sprayed the ass of your car black :evillol:

glad ur pleased with it :biggrin:

looks good, i'll come over and clean that damn motor for you!!! j/k

looks like you need a new pan gasket. I don't think you have the chack stand in the right place

dude, if i was him i would kick you in the nuts!!!
:nutkick: don't be a dick!!!

He is trying and it's more then i got. (88 civic, flat black, still see the old gold pint throught it. one spar tire on the front. no insides. no carpet no seats no dash no nothing. all the wires choped to shit.)


oyeah does any one have a wire diagram for an 88 civic so i can start putting some of these wires back togeather?

This is for a 91' (there's an electrical list page too but says should not be used for 88-89). There may be some differences but at least it's a start... http://www.binghamtonlife.com/manual/2gsm/electrical.htm

man thats alot of work, it may be to much for me. this guy i got it from shop it to hell. the plug for the dizy is gone just wires. there is a little blue plug in the pass fire wall that has nothing cunected to it. it was cut and i don't know what it went to. damn me, now i know y it was only a $50.00 car.

mounting points must be directly behind you! if they are not, and you put sholder harneses on the floor, when you get into an accident (not saying you will but if you do) your spine will align and you can compress disks and even rupture them, if you have your sholder harneses mounted to the floor in your backseat, take them out! you need a steel bar, secure behind the headrest, and mount to those, for lap belts just go to the floor next to you on both sides

Hummm

So where did you mount your shoulder straps 1PhatCX? and for the third time.....any pics?

the belts are mounted where the lap belt goes in the rear, dont have any pics right now tho, prolly be able to get some when i start doing the custom enclosure, or when i put the passeneger ones in
been pretty busy lately with this tranny bull shit
