I was checking over my beater Honda Civic today and noticed that the radio was not working. After taking a closer look I found out that the wiring was all messed up. I pulled the deck out of the dash and fixed the wiring by soldering all the connections instead of using crimp connectors. I find it that soldering two wires together gives you a better [...]

I bought an extra center gauge cluster cover from the wrecker last week and today I really got into doing my custom gauge pod. I used a soldering iron and cut out the center vents to make room for four 2″ gauge pods. I cut 2″ ABS piping to about 1 -1/2″ length to accommodate my [...]

After friday night’s Mission Raceway drag racing event, I put a 360 spin on my idea of doing the bodywork first and instead will invest the time into a turbo setup. Before I actually go through with it, I will do some research and post what I come up with. My Goal is around 200HP with my stock D16 engine. [...]
I was looking thru some posts at D-Series.org and found a great writeup on the installation of OEM style fog lights. You can purchase these on the ebay for around $60 and they make your bumper look a little bit better if your not going to go with a body kit. I found a place [...]
