Had a bad experience where i wired in the earth in my boot first, then the power cable (without removing the fuse) ran the power cable into the back near the earth cable... Ill leave you to guess the rest! Also, dont drop your wrench across the two battery terminals when un-doing the nut on the terminal, when the wrench hits the other terminal (like it did for me) it has a habit of creating a rather large spark, and also a rather large terminal shaped hole in your wrench. _____________________________ Honda Civic 1.4i 16 valve (in reply to blackmetal619) Post #: 42

RE: Tips and Tricks - 2/6/2008 5:20:33 PM    slottieskim   Posts: 92 Joined: 4/12/2006 Status: offline loosing weight is great... if you are removing your seats, you might as well, like mentioned several times prior, rid the car of all sounds deadening materal.  who ever said its not worth the time, it only took me about 4 hours maybe... that includes taking seats, paneling, and carpet out, and while your at it... might as well leave the carpet and the rear interior paneling out. carpet is probably a good 15+ pounds(especially if its got mildew or mold or some junk on it) its not much but remove the foam from inside the front and rear bumpers(just hpoe you dont get hit) use tape to hold certain parts in or on rather that bolts(this again, is not much, but it can add up) all this and my car is still rather comfortable up front, it just sounds like the windows are open all the time (in reply to phonyfool) Post #: 50
