Also have the tein springs off the sol from before I put the coils on that are waiting to go on. Have some other little updates planned as well. Just waiting on the weather to let up on a day that I have the free time.

- Sun Jun 05, 2011 1:42 am #258054 Made a spare tire cover today because I was tired of my rear carpet sinking in and looking like crap.
Also swapped in the original grey stripe del sol seats from the sol.


(the water pitcher is because i was testing to make sure the drain hole in the floor worked correctly.

The same as it has been. Still need a p28 ecu and to wire up the four wire 02 sensor. Should be doing both sometime in the next few weeks. The current p04 ecu is slow. I dont know what it came out of but its non vtec and has low fuel delievery.

Planned on lowering the hatch yesterday along with the other stuff above. But i realized that the lca bolts were going to snap and that the nut on the top of the shock wasnt coing to come off either without possibly messing the shock up. This means that ill be waiting until i buy some new lcas, bushings and shocks before i lower the car and ill just change it all at once. At the same time i may go ahead and swap to rear discs.

- Sun Jun 05, 2011 3:47 pm #258107 Well, tie rods are the very next thing on my list. Then body work and paint will be coming in the next month or so (hopefully). The fall has plans for a b series swap. Sometime between there is all of the suspension stuff I mentioned. WHenever I come across interior things such as different back seats and a cargo cover those will be put on too.

Yeah the bouncing speedo is common. Try wacking your gauge cluster and if that temporarily helps then thats prob where the problem is.
Ive been a little sluggish under 2k. Found out that ive had a gas leak. Fixed that and the problem is gone. Hopefully yours is just plugs and wires since your planning on replacing those.

haha yea ive been looking forward to it ever since i got a hatch. Works well too just takes two to lift the motor into the hatch without crushing the carbon tailgate.

I plan on hauling at least a few more motors like that. Including a b18c if i can get my hands on one this summer. Im trying to get a house for my gf and I so we can get married though too so we will see. Women first and cars second.
