#71692 A few of you may know i recently sold my pride and joy civic eg6 with the itr engine, i'd done everything to that car and really will miss it but i needed a new project, so here it is......

Its a JDM DC2 with 52k miles on it, it also has D2 coilovers fitted to it and a full cheap ass powerflow eggsause on it.

Its needs some love, nothing i'm not used too as i'm a fussy bugger :lol:

The guy who had it before me had it far too low, i raised it abit but it is proving a pain to raise as the threads are full of crap, the previous owner also pealed the type are graphics off as they were faded and somebody looks to have pulled the badge off and the window graphics are worn/dead (all new ones on order :wink: )

The wheels also needed a recon as they were all stained and some had a small scuff or two on them.

The front bumper also needs painting, as somebody has done a poor attempt at repairing a scuff with tip-ex :? and its a poor colour match.

The previous owner had also disconnected the front fog lights, so ive sorted that too :D

The boot mat was all manky and in poor condition, so Lee kindly donated one to the project .

Anyway heres the pics....

Image
Image
Image

TLC that was needed...

Image
Image
Image
Fogs sorted
Image
Image
Image

New stickers oredered, painting black again tomorrow :wink:

Old boot mat was also in poor condition, new one thanks to lee :wink:

Watch this space for more updates and thanks for loooking! :wink:

you're saying the car's better cause of the wheels? :eh: lol yeah the 96 spec wheels look better but the 98 spec just has so much more. bigger brakes, stiffer chassis, HID's from the factory, and other shit too.

And going over this thread i can't help but get de ja vu. Did you post this on another forum as well? such as clubintegra.com, or itr-dc2.co.uk? i've been on that one a few times just to drool :lol:

#84957 Right, as a few of you have seen from yesterdays dyno meet, i have new wheels :D

Few pics although some where taken on the phone

Image

Image

I cleaned the seats yesterday, this was the condition before i cleaned them

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

I started off by soaking the seats in hot water, and gently rubbing the dirty stained areas

Image
Image
Image

Once soaked, i foamed the seats and left it for 5 minutes and rubbed the whole seat down, i repeated this 2-3 times.

Image

I soaked the seat with hot water again and rubbed the stubborn areas again to make sure they where now clean.

Image

I then got the water vac and slowly whilst pressing down firmly vac'd all the water out of the seat, its not very pleasant seeing how much dirt is in your seats :?

Image

The fished result is miles better, gone are all the black stains grubby marks! :D

Image
Image
Image

I also painted my wiper arms as they where all rusty

Image

So firstly i rubbed them down smooth, then i primered them

Image

Then gave them a few coats of black paint and a coat of laquer.

Image

Finished result

Image

I thought i'd try something else last weekend, a USDM rear light conversion (edges of the rear lights light up)

So first i removed the rear lights

Image

You can see where the bulb holder is meant to be in the molding

Image

I put a starter hole into it, so it would be centered.

Image

Then i drilled the correct size hole

Image

Image

As you can see, you will need to file the light mould to fit the bulb holder.

Image

All fitted flush

Image

Then simply wire the bulb holder to the tail lights (black is earth, red with a white pin stripe is the live)

Result....

Image

Image

Image

Sorry for the poor pictures, weathers been poor and been far too busy
