Just removed both rear frame dampers,windshied washer stuff,and my big wire between the alt and the battery and the other 2 oem wires I just over lapped with 0 gauge when I did the big 3.
No system for now so they are dead weight.
By holding the stuff it seams about a 20lbs loss.

You better be bringing your cl.
That's why I signed on.
You turned around the last time I went .

If it comes down to you needing to get stuff done before you come I don't want to hear that.

I'm chopping up my battery tray right now,took out the drivers seat to fix it in a spot where the glue started to peel.I will redo the whole top half to be sure it fixed.Install new RR bushings and hardware,install some di noc in the interior thinking about some black paint on the egr, battery tray,starter and a couple little brackets and a full detail except the trunk.

And perhaps the nitrous if you want to do a 0-80 blast some where that day.
I want to see the 3.6 stretch it's legs.

Did you get your header made yet ?

What a break from the wrapping.

Not really it's my 3rd time.
I went from wood to silver to wood to di noc.

I spent another good day on the car today.
Finished door pannels and installed them
installed drivers seat
installed rear coilovers
cleaned rear wheels inside and out while they were off.
Pulled a couple more little pieces from under the hood to clean up.

Tomorrow will be rear pannels and back seat.
hitting my friends blasting cabinet
And hopefully my new oem rr bushings will be here soon.
Also trying to find a long nitrous line so I can slap that back in too.
If it's just sitting I might as well put it to use.

just got done detailing the whole car on the outside and wish I never did.
After waxing every little hail ding on the roof is so easy to see now.
I guess I should get that crap fixxed.
when it was dirty I could not see them but now it looks like crap.

How does the front suspension feel now that you have the OEM radius rod bushings swapped back in?

What were your findings as to what was causing the problem running the Moogs?

Not sure what problems I was having with the moogs.
I tightend them till the bushing were actually crushing and the car acted like they were loose.
Oem one's seem better but,I'm getting some front end issue.Not sure what it is I havent had time to check. I possibly might need a axle. When I back out of the drive way I heard a clicking in the front left and on the drive it felt like the car was starting to get a bouce.

As long as the car can make it I will make it.
I don't know if I will be traveling around all day but,I will come for atleast the morning.
I want to fix it before I go but, I don't.
My son has a day off today from school so doing just about anything is impossible.
I will probally just give the car a quick vac and a quick go around with the eagle one spray and shine in the am and thats it.
I'm more interested in seeing others cars than seeing my same old car.
Are you still going ?

Yea man it was good to meet you and put a face to a name.
I don't know what the hell happend to that 2nd pic.
Quality looks very poor,Maybe because someone was trying to get the flakes to show up.
Also looks like I have half of a lip on the trunk.

Let me ask you this...
Now that you have seen my car in person what do you think of the flakes I used ?
I will put up a pic of the bay later.

Yea, the second pic is from CLtotheTL32, the first is from me.

The flakes aren't that bad in person. They only show up in certain light. I don't think it's something I would do to mine though.

I would however ditch the gold exhaust tips. The hood and trunk scream sporty, but the gold says its an old mans car and it doesn't flow with the silver lips on the wheels or the chrome surrounding the windows.

I've been thinking about blacking them out.
But then the grill would have to go too.
Civic, I am a old man compared to most the acura guys .
I like gold.
But a change would be a change.
