Just a tip on the rear plate recess you will need to drill new holes as the USDM one fixes with a different bolt pattern to the UK all the wires and plugs are the same though.

I've just put my coupe back on the road after 2 years of building is great to have it running though not finished yet.

What coil overs do you have also who are you using for I insurance as that's well expensive you should try sky insurance as are a jap specialist and do club discount for civic life members.

- Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:39 am #283325 Well aint been a good day off for me, been working on car since about half twelve and only finished 40 min ago :s

Anyway, small update:

Fitted my suspention today, i started at rear as knew would be the most awkward. Snapped bolts on both sides where shock meets lca, i have spare bolts but threads are stuck in bushes. So ill just have to get my aftermarket lca's sooner than planed, will upload pics of after lowering when morning comes.

I did get to do my white dials today, but for the first time, when taking cluster surround off to get to cluster unit, ive snapped the right hand vent next to d/s window. Ive removed this so many time in previous civics, AND broke my iphone holder??? I only paid a penny for it (holder, including postage from china) oh well:
Image

Started left to right, and followed instructions that came with dials:

Image
One down, two to go:

Image

I forgot to take pics of fuel and temp, soz. Had to cut a part out to see the engine and boot lights:
Image

All back together:
Image

I connected back up and made sure all lights were working, will need taken apart again as for some reason when connected back up the fuel and temp dials were off. I had just over the red for fuel and engine was cold but showed half temp???
Image

And lights up too, will be getting new bulbs as fancy a light blue tint, and will be colouring needles orange:
Image

Also seen these HSD Adjustable coilovers and will be getting them after newyear:
