45 or 50 sidewall.

- Tue Apr 20, 2010 12:52 am #188668 Indeed i will be running a smaller sidewall tire butfor right now im concentrating on what is going to happen to this car lol im getting it all put back together stock and im also fixing problems and other peoples idiocies.....

So i cleaned up the patio now i can move around easily and not have to bend me knees in weird positions to move without breaking anything....
but yea my tools are everywhere still but i still managed to pop the dash out within 20mins so im sure if i had all my tools i could probaly of done it in 10mins or so lol


And i was looking around checking out whats left of the security system they left in there apparently everything that would make it work was taken out but most of the wireing is still in there i will be stripping that out but yea i also discovered a broken wire i think its for cruise? but im gonna fix it eitehr way....



and a finished pic of the engine bay(not cleaned finished but motor works finished

- Wed Apr 21, 2010 12:55 am #188878 Alrighty time for another update on teh second day of operation turn my car back to pretty much stock....

started off finishing up wiring and taking out any left overs from the security system that i guess was in there at some time....

and then i started cleaning and checking out things underneath carpets and the dash and looky what i found....


Looks like at some point and time someone either grounded this thing which i highly doubt or tried to jack at that area.......

but i fixed it lol and moved on







and ohhh joy someone took out the speaker holders lmao so luckily i had spares because i have a ton of spare stuff woot!


Then i decided to tackle getting rid of that hole the previous owner drilled for a fog switch.....


Fixed!



And had a dead pedal laying around and that area was worn anyhow so i threw it in there test fit pictured going to get bolts for it shortly.....

And just rested the dash back in place as far as i know im done and its ready to be bolted back in place......


Tomorrow hopefully i will have all the cleaning done and going to get her on the road woot!

- Thu Apr 22, 2010 1:55 am #189101 Alrighty well just took her for the first real test drive just put it on the road so my turbo project will be put semi on hold but ill still slowly be buying things

anyhow it went well yea it was a dog stupid auto trans but to be honest it didnt matter kept me from yamming on it lmao....but yea shifted a bit hard here and there so im either low on fluid or needs to be changed.....

and besides that i need to swap out headers to put a cat on it...and lets see after that just button up a few things and it will be a great d.d. for right now some immediate plans probaly will be to get fogs on it as they make the world easier to see at night....and maybe some other things...like lips but right now im concentrateing on what i need and thats a fluid change....maybe plugs as well....

- Thu Apr 22, 2010 10:34 pm #189390 i wanna take the dash out of my car to repaint it...was it hard?? havent taken one off a honda..took one off a new lexus at school but damn was that a mission

- Thu Apr 22, 2010 10:52 pm #189394 ok lexus compared to a honda lol id say if the lexus was a 5/5 in the hard scale the honda one would be a negative 10 lol its super easy and requires patience a 10mm socket , extenstions a 12mm socket, and a phillips head if you swapped a cluster before thats going to be the hardest part is getting the surround out all n all very simple to do........

And i knew i shoulda done a DIY lol ohhh well probaly takeing it out again or at least the one in my hatch to do some work maybe then we can get a diy
