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 on the internet that sells both the Clear and Yellow  versions of this kit. Here is the Link to the Do it Yourself Installation. ... Read More

Yesterday I finally got around to swapping out my water filled non working tail light with a spare one I picked up a few months back. I had to remove some clips and a few screws to move the inner molding out of the way to get to the light mounting nuts. I used a 8mm combination wrench to undo the 4 nuts that held the light to the car, unplugged the harness and pulled the light out. Part of my problem with water in the tail light, is a crack in the body seam and a bad hatch seal. I swapped the tail light wiring harness from my other Civic since I am not driving it right now.  I plugged the wiring harness back into the car and placed the tail light into place. Then used the 8mm wrench and tightned up the 4 mounting nuts. Once that was in place I smeared some silicone on the cracked hatch seam and pushed the hatch seal back in place. I screwed all the inner body panels into place and tested the lights and they all work. When I start doing the body work on the car for painting I will change the hatch seal so it's new again and for sure won't have leakage problems.   I pulled ... Read More

Well 2 weeks have passed and I managed to get some more mods on the car. I got Mufflertech to install a 2.5" exhaust from the Catalytic Converter all the way back to a Magnaflow muffler with a chrome tip. This should be sufficient to spool up a turbo pretty quick on the up coming 1.6 Liter VTEC. I also purchased a Vibrant short ram intake that sounds really good when you slam the gas pedal to the floor. It sounds stock while driving normally around town but when you slam the pedal it has a really deep throaty sound to it. A few weeks back I picked up a carbon fiber hood and some used projector headlights so I put the headlights on and now it looks like it has attitude. The hood will have to wait for a paint job because I think I will paint it too.   Stock Intake vs. Vibrant Intake   Stock Headlights vs. Projector Headlights   Magnaflow Muffler + Chrome Tip  and Another front angle picture ... Read More
