This post will be updated either as soon as I think of other things I want, or as soon as I buy/install something.

HA! yea right. Thats all I will say.

 

As of 7.10.09... this is what the car looks like.




Shockingly, everything lines up almost perfectly. Just a little too big of a gap (about 1mm too big) between the passenger fender and hood.... shouldn't be too hard to correct that. Also, a buddy of mine knows someone who is able to paint all the pieces oem silver at his shop, so I have to meet up with him soon and discuss pricing! More updates when I get some more replacement parts and painting info!

 

Good to have it restarted. Glad everything still lines up after that mess.

 

Finally sold my Iphone so I have some cash to buy a set of mirrors. I talked to the guy in Philly who I know and he will be getting me power mirrors that can fold. Not the power retracting JDM ones. I wish I had $200 to blow on power retracting mirrors/switch/relay, but I don't..lol I'll post up some pics of the fitment when I install them over the weekend.

I should be meeting up with someone else on Friday to buy their 60GB Ipod (broken screen) for $30. I guess I have to deal with almost no music for a couple days. lol

 

Ugh... someone/something doesn't want me to have a perfect/legal/functional front end. Went outside to start up my car in order to take my son over to his school for speech therapy, and noticed a nice 1 1/2 foot long crack in the windshield. The cheapest quote so far I could find is $175 installed.

I post up some pics when I get a chance to.

 

Pics of the said crack.




I should be getting a new windshield within a week or so(~$175). In other news, I ordered a set of Pioneer 6x9's yesterday, and I will be picking up a set of folding mirrors tomorrow!

 

all that money, you could have boosted. 8-|

 

$175? isn't that a little much? you should have gone to a junk yard and get one. Then had someone install.

 

What money? I had an almost complete turbo, then realized I was being an idiot by putting everything on my credit card, not having a job, being a full time dad (that's right, I have custody, not the mom), turboing a motor with compression issues in cylinder #2 (and with 150,000 miles as well), and pouring money into the motor of a horrible looking (dents, dings, broken bumper) car.

Too many things could go wrong and leave me royally screwed; i.e. blown motor, etc - leaving me with next to nothing and more of a credit card debt buying a new d16. I'd rather drive a slow, reliable car at this time, and not have to worry about my credit card bill. Maybe in the future, I'll swap in a b18c1 or something like that... but only if the right deal comes around at the right time.

That's actually the cheapest I could find. $175 includes a new windshield, installation, and a warranty for the entire time I own the car. Everyone else wanted at least $300. I didn't think I could get a junked Civic's windshield.... don't you have to cut it out as windshields are held in with some type of glue?

 

no need for the huffy puffy. welcome to america, the land of the debt.
