#311626 Today I got a chance to build what I have been thinking about for a while. A place for the oils in the trunk that wont let them spill and new cover over the spare tire.

This is what I started with and what I ended up with:

you can probably shoot some rattle can bed liner on this tray to further make it leak resistant.

#312089 you funny thing about the rattle can bed liner, i was debating just ripping all the trunk carpet out and doing the whole trunk....i havent looked at my trunk in a while though, and i assume there would be lots of holes and exposed wiring....hmmm...might have to look into that...

#312471 Thanks for all the replies! Its apreciated!

Spray on bed liner would be a good addition to that tray, I may just look into that.

By the way, the insert I made worked AMAZINGLY!!! I put a stronger transmission in my Supra this past weekend, and filled the trunk of the Civic up with a transmission, driveshaft, flywheel and clutch assembly, tools, and still kept the fluids on the left. This thing is my truck untill I get my real truck done, haha...

Yesterday and this morning I did the power window and lock conversion on the car, I LOVE power windows, especially in my daily driver. It went well, I got the power door inserts, recovered them with a slightly lighter factory style fabric, then installed them onto my door panels. Since I had my amp running the speakers the factory speaker wires in the door harness were not going to cut it, so I had some spare pins from eastern beaver that fit the connector perfectly. So everything is still plug and play! Next I think I'm going to recover the center arm rest so it matches the door inserts and then the rear deck lid where the rear speakers mount.

Just got a DC Sports 1 peice 4-1 header. Turns out the ebay header I bought was only a limited run and the seller will not make replacement parts (gaskets) or new test pipes.... and the gaskets are huge, like 3"dia. so they aren't off the shelf pieces...
:x
I was surprised the DC header came with a 02 extension harness for the factory 02 sensor since there is no bung where the factory one would normally go. But, I'm going to weld one on so I can still run my wideband sensor. After I get the bung welded on I'm going to wrap the hell out of the header with the wrap I bought, then get a new cat and test pipe.

I have noticed on hard stops the brakes feel spongy, I think when I has breaking in the engine doing hard decels I may have hurt the brakes some how, so I'm going to flush it again and put the EBC Green Stuff break pads I ordered on. This is the first time I have used them but from what I hear they are good.

Also picked out a paint for the car, a Honda black metallic that in certain lights will have a blue hue to it. My painter suggested it and I really like it, so were going to start setting up for paint in the next few weeks.
