- Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:31 am #245329 Door panel's are finished and have been re installed into the actual door skins. Look great to me lol.

Painted my EK center console black to match the dash and interior. Turned out very good. Still has the texture of the plastic!

My amber corner lights, and my Function and Form T1's!

- Tue Mar 22, 2011 7:06 pm #245452 The waiting for parts is what kills me haha

Here are a few shots of my newely painted EK center console / armrest. I tried to make it look half decent. The gray looked horrible, so I had to paint it. Used adhesion promotor, and krylon plastic paint. You can still see the OEM texture to the plastic.





Shot of my mirrors, still letting the paint cure so bugs dont chip it off. Nice and shiny.

- Tue Mar 22, 2011 7:24 pm #245456 I was bored, decided to pop the amber corners in. FINALLY I have corner markers again lol

- Tue Mar 22, 2011 11:34 pm #245517 Nice!!

- Tue Mar 22, 2011 11:38 pm #245520 Was going to install the suspension tonight, but the rear lower control arm bolts are seized. Will be quite a long time before the car is on the road. Spent all my money on parts and cant afford a shop to do the work.

Sucks, but nothing I can do I guess.

- Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:51 pm #245965 I got the car running like it should, I still have to clean or replace the IACV and it will be perfect. I took it for a drive, and works fine. Going into the shop tomorrow to get new LCA bushings installed so I can install my suspension.

Here are a few pics of the car pulled out of the garage for yas!

i my ek center console

- Thu Mar 24, 2011 11:58 pm #245979 Thanks! Yeah I love the center console!

Carpet is dirty, going to have to shampoo it or something!

- Fri Mar 25, 2011 4:22 pm #246184 I drove the car to the shop today, which is like 30 miles away. Car worked a1, no issues at all. I was going to get my LCA bushing on each side replaced. However the parts place I bought the bushings from ended up selling me the wrong ones which pissed me off to the max. They got my old ones out, and when they tried to instal the new ones they found out they were way to big for the hole in the LCA. ALL my suspension bushings need to be replaced right away, as inspection is coming up. I have been looking at the HardRace suspension bushing kit for my car. It is 265$ for the whole kit and it would fix all the bad bushings. Has anyone used Hardrace bushings? On a happier note, I received a nice little gift from the mail lady today.... My authentic JDM Honda SIR front lip! Brand spankin new! Even threw in a sweet little keychain! I picked up a nice spherical shift knob, it's weighted but cant remember how much. It threads on, and uses a jam nut to hold it in place.

- Sat Mar 26, 2011 2:13 pm #246353 Ran in town today and picked up some parts for the car... Got my new half rad. inner and outer front LCA bushings for both sides, and a distributor cap and rotor button. My buddy also had a TWM short shifter he bought brand new and never used, sold it to me for 50$

I have not used these TWM shifters before, are they good? I heard short throws will mess your syncro's up?

- Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:14 am #246497 nice parts bro!!!

- Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:17 pm #246713 Thanks

Im heading out to the tire shop here soon to get my new tires mounted on my wheels. Getting closer to being on the road now.

- Mon Mar 28, 2011 6:05 pm #246739 Got my tires all mounted on the wheels, and balanced up!
