drop
exhaust
blackout

remove resonator easy and free also

 

Yaa thats a good idea! +1
Also good when you get a drop in K&N filter

 

best feature = J32A2

It's a tie between my JDM bumper and my drop.

Prototype ATLP exhaust
Junction Produce Curtains
Blacked/Cleared housing headlights
Full Coilovers
Lip Kit
Racingbrake slotted rotors
Legend Type-II Calipers

thats about it me thinks..

yea.. its a list.. oh well.

currently...

6MT + Short shifter.

 

Only interior I have is a custom fog light switch, JP Curtains, chrome shift plate, and LED shiftgate light.

 

When i was a auto one of my favorite mods was switching the SS direction of the + -


But overall teh single best mod ANY one could perform is the 6 speed swap, the car is so much more enjoyable.

 

saber grille with an A instead of an H, Lip Kit, J32a2

 

Mugen Spoiler (real, not rep)
19 inch Buddy Clubs
K-Sport coilovers

 

my favorite mod was the chrome delete. no chrome at all on my car

 

even though i've only driven my car maybe a quarter of a mile, i know it's going to be fun.

 

 

mine would be my f2 coilovers, ww lip kit, and wheels, and at night my Full HID kit

 

my straight pipes

oooh, and LED interior

 

it's a teaser! can you please post a nice picture shot of your ride. thank you

 

that's a nice red light.... it's like BMW's.... can you please tell what are you using in there.. is it led strip or something else? i really want to do that on my car. please guide me through this. thank you

 

i'm gonna take a good guess and say it's a cold cathode tube. i've been meaning to install footwell lights this whole year. one really bright white ones, wired to the dome light when the doors open, and then dim white or blue lights wired to the headlights for ambiance.

edit: 03tLsNBP, you should totally do the handbrake conversion so you can get rid of that out of place e-brake

 

do led strip work pretty good?

 

they do i have them on my car driver and passenger. but i did it the easiest way. Through 12V

 

can you please tell me how you did it please..

 

not sure, i'm not huge on lighting right now.

i'd think the LED strip would be only good for the bright side. i wouldn't want that to be on while i'm driving.

 

i only want that ON with the doors open.

 

yup. theyre cold cathode tubes wired to a switch.

how difficult is the handbrake conversion? i was gonna do it anyways when i do my 6spd swap whenever my tranny goes, but i guess i could do it early.

 

yeah, then i'd tap that into the dome light.

i'd like to get some dim lights too though. for driving, like to do it for the front and back seats.

 

how can i run it through dome light? please enlighten me...

 

the cheapest mods were the best for me:

Cusco lower bar $85--amazing how much it tightens the cars handling
mrheeltoe has a new 4 point lower mount--have to ck that out if you are hardcore street driver looking for stealth

cusco upper bar $125 helped some, but lower made more differance for average street drivers not on trick shocks,,,upper is important on certain cars and helps lowered cars

95 Legend LS-C front dual piston calipers $150 for both
Stainless Steel brake lines $100
RacingBrake front rotors and ET pads ~350

now it dramatically slows and stops like it should- over and over slow downs from 60 to 25 in the 7000 tall mountains is what I enjoy

exterior $100 for a UDM buffer, $50 for the right cleaners, polishing compunds, and final wax-- makes it look like a new car... with a mirror smooth finish,,,on an 01

best investment money for getting lots of Goodwill from the dealer:
a $10 box of donuts to service manager-- for the service writers and shop guys,
a 20 spot palmed in a handshake to the actual tech for spending 30 minutes with my nav prob,, and diagnosing the ac tensioner,, I wasnt charged anything
$7 for 2 boxes of ice cream sandwich bars `for the shop`
those were all at different occassions and worth every penny in the goodwill it generated

A customer they Like to see come in? one bearing goodies!!--what are you needing for free today sir?
a new transmission would be nice--I dont like the way this one shifts~

 

you'd tap it into that line. i haven't done anything like that before but i know it can be done. someone can explain it better than i can. i know the door handle LEDs DIY shows how to tap into the dome light. too tired to look it up.

 

I want to sign up for the next bbq at your place.
Their would obviously not be a shortage of food and refreshments going around.
maybe some palming $20's after you get a little twisted

My best mod is my freshly flaked paint job

 

buy the tubes they are better than the strips the autozone guy told me. and the tubes come with all the stuff for the 12V they sell about $18 for one

 

vanilla air freshner....women love it.

 

search puddle lights.

i've had a few people ask and i kno i've posted a wiring diagram somewhere...

i spliced my puddle lights to the passenger side fuse box. thats where the dome light is..

oh.. and i forgot i had puddle lights... add that to my list too..

 

richardp
note the food treat goes to people directly involved in repairing my car... for less than normal,,and jobs I simply dont want to do~

if a few local ziners want to come take care of my 105... I will throw a bbq and hot tub party for them!!

 

hmm no one mentioned the ECU re-flash by Hondata. but i personally think that on any car the best mod would be a cold air intake.

 

I like how my cars sounds with the ATLP exhaust and the Injen CAI with the Fujita Filter, the filter makes an awesome noise. Also i like my 2 12" subs good for any music and you can just jam out. Lip kit is makes a BIG difference to the car as well.
