[MessyHonda]

where did you get 9mm NGK wires?

[2drSE-i]

where did you get 9mm NGK wires?

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?

[Legend_master]

Looks good, now all you need is to get rid of that Auto .

[Pico]

looks sharp and clean

[87lxiaccord]

yeah looks great, I'm really jealous of your suspension setup. 5spd time!

[2drSE-i]

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

Great Looking SE-i

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

[2drSE-i]

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

[Vanilla Sky]

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.

is your car color "Charcoal Granite Metallic Clearcoat NH-531M" ? Can I use one of your pics on the 3geez wiki as an example of your color? pleeeease? lol

[2drSE-i]

yes it is and yes you may. always willing to contribute to the wiki :-D

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

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...:-(

LEROY JEEEENKINS! haha anyway....a dremlin i go

before....

after...and this pic is especially bad. i basically made it into a > because the edges of the light holder are sloped.

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.

This is how it looks lit up....looks great, this will light up the UV paint very well.

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

[MessyHonda]

i want some orange needles...they looks sporty. good luck with yours.

[2drSE-i]

im doing red needles, but thats not really my primary concern with this

[BITESIZE]

Clean car!

[knarg]

[2drSE-i]

thanks guys! now i just need to make enough money to pay my tuition, buy my duty belt and equipment for my cop classes, and pay rent and i might be able to buy some paint for this project....

[labeledsk8r]
