I have that steering wheel on my LX, just need to hook up the audio buttons.
Anyways looks really good. Are you planning on doing a 5-speed swap?Turbo?
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
Looks good, now all you need is to get rid of that Auto :) .
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
yeah looks great, I'm really jealous of your suspension setup. 5spd time!
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
actually the auto may be a keeper...maybe. My dad rebuilds power transmissions (for like cranes and bulldozers and stuff) and i may have him take a wack at mine. Performance torque convertor FTW! After that, ive been doing some research on paddle shifters, and they can be done without having an electronically controlled auto trans, but its way more difficult. Not turbo, maybe super, but for now the plans are hardcore NA build, OBD-1
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
Great Looking SE-i :D :thumbup:
Oh I so want a SE-i Coupe!

i would add an aftermarket cooler to it....its real easy....i helped tommy set his up and it took us less than 3 hours to do. he also filled it with B&M trick shift...and the tranny rode smooth
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
that i should definately do. Even if i do decide to do a 5 sp swap in the future, a trans cooler would be a smart idea, cuz these things run HOTTT
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
You'd have to have an oil pump added for a manual transmission oil cooler.
As for the auto trans cooler, keep the stock one in place. Install the aftermarket cooler in the return line between the stock cooler and the transmission. The stock cooler regulates operating temps in cold areas, and will precool your hot fluid. Something I learned from working on third gen Camaros.
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread

Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
Update: thought it was about time to start posting about some of the work i was doing. I moved out of my parents house in September and im paying for all of my own school, books, etc so i dont really have much money for any real mods, but ive been doing some inexpensive things, i may show some later on. This is my primary project as of right now, UV Gauges!
For now, ive just got the blacklight rigged up. I bought a 5Spd LX-i coupe gauge cluster (so it would match my gauge cluster, who knew there were 60 differnet kinds of gauge clusters....
I bought this to start with
http://www.geeks.com/imageshare/2/15...22413-soft.gif
Its an 8" Compact blacklight (thank you guaynabo for the suggestion) 12v DC with cigarette adapter. The cig adapter im using for while im working on it before i install it into my car.

Ill go ahead and apologize for the shittastic pics...3megapixels my asshole motorolla... anyway as you can see the damn thing dont fit...:-(
http://lh6.google.com/Hanson405/R4-6...117_131952.jpg
LEROY JEEEENKINS! haha anyway....a dremlin i go
http://lh3.google.com/Hanson405/R4-6...117_134404.jpg
before....
http://lh5.google.com/Hanson405/R4-6...117_134342.jpg
after...and this pic is especially bad. i basically made it into a > because the edges of the light holder are sloped.
http://lh5.google.com/Hanson405/R4-6...117_134515.jpg
Dont know what happened with this pic, but trust me i have tiny, skinny ass arms. This is the blacklight installed into the OEM light holder.
http://lh5.google.com/Hanson405/R4-6...117_134546.jpg
This is how it looks lit up....looks great, this will light up the UV paint very well.
http://lh5.google.com/Hanson405/R4-6...117_134709.jpg
And with gauges installed. now these are unpainted, and i dont really want to reveal my plans, but it will look badass.
Oh and before anyone says anything, i live with my girlfriend, and bath and body works kicks ass haha
Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread

Re: 2DrSE-i's Garage Thread
