Battery Holder and Car Pics

[ci5ic]

Installed the Billet aluminum battery holder that I got from Jeg's today. Had to re-make the MDF floor in the hatch area.







Also removed the "civic" sticker from the tail-light center piece. Just used a heat gun lightly and an exacto knife:





Here's some shots of the car from different angles. You'll notice that someone busted my passenger side mirror. I think it was someone driving by and smacked it with their mirror, and when I washed the car today, I found what appears to be a tire mark over my passenger side rear fende... So that tells me that it was a VERY VERY VERY VERY close call, and my car could've been totaled.

sweet! ur cars so tight man, i love it!
did the tire marks come off ur car? and btw, i didnt mean 2 break ur mirror lol j/p

Thanks, it's my pride and joy. I spend alot of time (too much if you ask my girlfriend) working on it, and there's ALOT of other things I want to do to it. Just need the time and money.

No, the tire-marks didn't come off... they aren't tooo noticeable, but it still pisses me off. But I count my blessings that the other car was only close enough to just barely leave a smudge instead of taking out the whole side of my car.

yea i just read ur thread bout ur g/f lol
sux whats goin on but really, if she dont like it, then she should get a job and spend her own money eh?

and i know what u mean about it bein ur pride and joy, thats what i'm like with my car, its my first and i hope 2 have it for a really long time, ur lucky ur cars not white tho, or else the tire marks woulda shown up alot more visable, but still, ur cars tight none the less, and ur doin more to it?? what else is there 2 do? lol all i can see is cover the mdf board in the back and its perfect!

Yes, there is alot left to do...

Here's the list:
Stereo Stuff:
New Head Unit (you can see in one of the pics that mine is all jacked from when someone tried to steal my car)
Fiberglass Sub box (I started building one last year, but haven't finished it yet).
Relocate the 3-point harness retractors to the C-pillar
Make MDF cover for back-seat area (which is where the fiberglass sub pod will go) and cover both MDF pieces with vinyl.
Amp rack
D16Y8 Swap. Engine is in my garage getting torn apart for hot-tanking and replacing all the gaskets/seals, etc.
MSD Ignition. It's already bolted into the engine bay, but I need to wire it up, I'm being a slacker there...
New header (it's been ordered... it's on the way)
Need to have the exit pipe on my exhaust straightened out so I can use normal size rubber hangers for the exhaust. The exhaust is crooked because the WW bumper sits lower, and the exhaust tip sits right up against it with the normal hangers, so I put in one Long hanger and it's all crooked.
Thinking about shaving gas-tank door, relocating gas cap to inside of drivers-side door jamb.
Re-paint my interior. When I got the car painted they just threw all the various parts inside the car and it screwed up some of the pieces.
Shaving rear-wiper and rear emblem holes (car is going into the shop for this next week).
Of course I need to replace the pass. side mirror which will also be done at the shop next week.
Shock... I'm thinking Koni Blues.
Possibly air-cylindars in the future...
Rear disc-brake swap.
Big-brake kit (front and rear)
3rd brake light (the stock one went with the OEM spoiler).
Wire up my side-markers. Had them for a long time, just haven't wired them up... may do this tomorrow.
Need front turn signals, haven't had them for about a year. May also do this tomorrow.
Turbo.
New headliner
Need some support underneath the spare rim/tire so that it sits flat.
Need a cup-holder. My friend Joe is going to mill one from billet aluminum for me soon.
Fiberglass speaker pods for the doors. I've got a killer idea for these
Power windows.
Underbody neon (green), and neon inside the car (yellow)
Who knows what else... I'm sure there's something...

Got my side-markers wired up today. It's about time, I put them in almost a year ago, and just never ran the wires. Also solved my problem with the lack of bumper lights (no front turn signals).

I ran the bumper-light wires to the clear part of the corner lenses, and then ran the wires for the clear part of the corner lenses to the side-markers and kept the amber part of the corner lens wiring the same.

So now, the side-markers are on whenever my headlights are on, and when I use my turn signal, both the amber and clear part of the corner-lens blinks in unison. Once I turn on my headlights though, they blink alternately. Pretty cool.

I may swap the wiring between the amber part and the side-markers so that the side-markers are constantly on with the headlights but blink when the turn signal is used... It'd be pretty easy to do.

I also rewired my corner lenses so the entire thing blinks when my clear corners were jacked cause they cut all the wires ... heres the thread.
