lol thank you and i'm not sure what the paint code is but i can take a look and get back 2 uOriginally Posted by Joay
I made them.Your car looks a little nicer than mine with the sunroof and healthy quarter panels. Do you know what the paint code on yours is?
Since yours in an 89 I'm wondering if it's YR-59M or YR-94M. As far as I know, 59 was a 1988-only color and I've never found another member with the same paint as me. That and there are at least two different codes for Seattle Silver (which I think yours is) so I'm trying to figure out what all these goldish Accords have exactly.
IM loving the sohc notecs. I get laughts and peeps saying HOLLY SHIT LOL...
what you need to do is make a vid bro.

Sunroofs on these cars are not nice, trust me. I've sat in them side by side. You wouldn't like one.I made them.
Misty Beige (YR-59M) was available from '86-88, and Seattle Silver (YR-94M) was only available in '89. I swear to everyone on this board, they're the same color, just a different name. I'm going to call Honda and figure it out or something.
I love my sunroof.....good for when you take your women out to the montains...legs are in the air...O TRUST me ....if you bang alot...Like i used to ITS nice lol...plus i love it when im rolling down the street smoking INDOE LOL....J/K but i love mine....if it leaks then yeah sucks.

have you got the fog lights yet
Any updated pictures, Joay?
Yes! They came in on the 19th I believe, they're still chilling in the garage. Work has been absolutely nuts. Thank you though, like I said it's the first of many things I want to source from you.
Nope, nothing going on but school and work around here.Got some plans for the winter though. Hopefully I can roll out a little less stock for the next east coast meet.
This is no bueno, Joey. By the way, I have surpassed you in posts.Nope, nothing going on but school and work around here.
Very cool pics but we want moreeeeeeeegood luck with your wheels
What are your hubcaps from?

90-93 Integra, I think. Might be from a 94-01, seen the same caps on a couple. The guy who gave them to me said they were from an Integra (and they say Acura).
I thought they were from a sixth-generation Civic, like Rendon said, but they're probably the same. I want them so bad. I'm so jealous that your coupe looks better than mine, now.
post moar pics kthx
and yes those are DB8 caps ... civic ones are the same but have the H instead of saying Acura

THey dont make the bars no more. Either you have to buy it from someone or get lucky an score one online someplace....ebay/craiglist exc.

Bought the strut brace and the header from maka_RTH. The bars seem a little fewer and far between than the headers for some reason but they're still floating around. Keep checking the classifieds.
And thanks for the love guys, I'm actually in the garage this weekend working on it. Pictures will be posted in the next week or so.
So I got my foglights a few months ago. They sat around for a while because I was always busy and the garage at work was always full. Earlier in winter, I started trying to install them in the totally wrong place because I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but eventually CAH, Carot and Aaron set me straight. Then I had to figure out how to wire them up.
The first harness, made from an EG A/C relay. Kinda ghetto, but worked perfectly (and I thought it was cool to use a Honda part).
Running the wires...
At this point the fogs turned on for a couple seconds, then one died. The bulb looked fine, but I wasn't getting continuity on one of the wires so I rewired the housing. Still nothing. Plugged the working bulb in and got light, so I went out and bought two new H3 bulbs. Then smoke started pouring out from under the dash.
I put in 100-watt bulbs and had them on for about twenty seconds before the relay burned up. I should've thought about it for a second (100-watt foglights in a 22-year-old Honda?) but I just used the same wattage that was already in there.
Pissed off, out of patience and frustrated that it's been close to a year since I bought these fucking things, I went out and spent way too much money and overbuilt the harness:
Then after running all new wires for about six hours yesterday, I pushed the button and the one that didn't burn out the first time didn't come on. The one wire I ran through the fender (admittedly outside the loom) shorted. So now I have to pull that again and run a new wire. How it looks at the moment:
I know the first harness melting and the second one shorting have both been my fault, but god damn I never thought turning two lights on with a switch was this complicated. I have literally been working on this shit for four weekends. They did look pretty sweet when they were on for a few seconds though.
lol... every foglight set ive hooked up i just run the 2 postive lines in to one that is ran to switch then run to fuse box no relays or anything and then i just run the grounds to the bumper support =/
but the one you made looks really good and pro!

Well I want them to work as close to stock as possible, with the exception of turning on with the running lights, which they do. I guess my car didn't come with the wiring and apparently it's a lot more complicated that I expected. Hopefully one day I'll find a DD and I can tear this apart and do it all nice...
I got 2 100w driving lights on my Sidekick I run off a relay to a switch. You could just wire into a running light wire to trip the relay. Simple and clean.
You never (Damn it, CAH...) want to run over 2 amps or 25 watts without a relay.

Bass like Base... Not fish.
I don't want them to come on automatically with the running lights, just have the option. Basically the relays (there only need to be two, as per the original setup, the new one is just redundant for each light) check (1) that the parking lights are on, then (2) if the fog switch is closed. After this is all put together I'll post a schematic so hopefully other members can do this without taking a month and frying their wires.
