I don't know that I would consider it a project so much but I was off work and board so I decided to clean my bay up some yesterday. I started out with a bottle of degreaser in my hand and ended up with paint, it always seems to end up that way.
Anyways, I was tired of my bay being dirty so I started cleaning it. After cleaning it I realized the rust on the brackets and rusty bolts were an eye sore. So I took alot of them out and oainted them black. I decided to paint them because I don't have the money to get new brackets and a bolt set. I like the outcome though, it cleaned up nicely. I have alot more to do though on my next day off. All imput is more than welcome, just want to here what you guys think.


Painted the battery tie down, the strut bolts. The metal bracket that keeps the radiator stable and a bunch of bolts.




Also wanted to see how a few night pictures looked so I puarked under my motion light. I think they look ok for a cell phone camera.




My favorite pic. I like the angle and how its kinda dim.

 

Looks good. Next time your bored you want to come over to my house?

 

a little update:
Tomorrow we are taking the ls out and I'm going with a y8. Its a downgrade but its only temporary, I have a few things I need to tend to so I need the money. Anyways.... the y8 has Hasport mounts, Exedy clutch, tucked harness and chipped ecu to jump obd2 to obd1 and aftermarket Header(cant think of the brand off-hand).
while we have the motors out we are going to go ahead and relocate the battery, and depending on what time it is we may also re-run my light harness/wires under the fenders and reloacte the fuse box.
This weekend I should be putting my new bumper and fender on, if that happens then I'll be installing my fog lights.
Lastly I'm trading my buddy a few parts so I'll have my new HX's on, TenzoR seats in, and new tail lights in Busy weekend for the civic. Getting a complete face lift. I cant wait
Everyone complaments how clean my bay is so I cant wait to see the feedback I get after we clean it up more are relocate everything.

 

chipped ecu to jump obd2 to obd1 ????

your car is obd1....
chipped ecu doesnt convert obd2 to obd1
its to change the base map or rev limiter and stuff

 

yeah I cant remember how he explained it exaclty because he has the y8 in his eg and i was talking to him and said so it has a z6 dizzy, harness and ecu. He said no it was chipped or maybe it was his harness hand a jumper. I'll have to ask him later. We were working on 4 cars last night so it's hard to remember everything we talked about.

 

the way it should be hooked up is y8 motor z6 intake manifold, p28 ecu, z6 dizzy.
and you will need to run the 2 vtec wires to your ecu if you dont have a ex model

 

why switching out the LS for a y8, just wondering.

 

because ever since my tire blew it did a bunch of body damage and i want to get it fixed on a limited budget so im using the money from the trade to fix it up, figured i could always get a new engine next spring.

 

this isnt a project...

 

Hes still doing more work to his Civic in one weekend than half this forum has in the last year.
