Brakes done. Yay! Passed inspection and got a new shiny safety inspection sticker. Also, my baller 4/11 registration sticker came in the mail. Oh, excited? I am.

No head light pictures tonight. I am being really lazy with them to be honest. lol I still have to put the lens on the driver one and re-seal both 100% before installing.

On another note, I really need to get that o2 wire extended. I am thinking that I will continue to be lazy, and just order an o2 extender instead of cutting/splicing/etc etc.

Ordered a new donut gasket for the header, and exhaust gaskets since I do not have any right now. The header install guide will be made once I get the new donut gasket in the mail.

Also ordered a replacement set of spark plugs! Very exciting. There is an eBay seller that has an o2 extension harness (3 ft) for something like $20 shipped (I am such an eBay *****. haha). I might go ahead and pick that up from him. As stated in the my previous post, I am lazy and I do not feel like cutting and splicing/etc

I have a little bit of money to play with at the moment, so it's either I will go for getting a wink mirror (my stock mirror is vibrating and shaking with the stiffer torque mounts and the system), or getting the dual gauge pod cluster bezel.

For some reason, the paint on the one headlight which is sealed has changed colors and instead of being gold, it has changed to a bronze-ish color. I can just hope that the other one does the same once it is put back together. I want them to be the lighter-gold color, but I will settle with the bronze-ish color.

Don't mind the dirty lenses, they have yet to be cleaned up 100%.

Those headlights are kinda sick, whichever color they turn out. I'd rock either color on my Civic.

^^ Thanks. I really hope the other one changes color once it is sealed up and all so they match. haha

Just ordered an o2 extension harness, OEM z6 water pump, complete set of o-rings/cushion rings, and 2 rear main seals (one for right now when I pull the trans to install the clutch, and one for the z6 block I will be building). Hooray for the beginning of the z6 block build!

If you go through with painting the car white, those headlights will look sick.

Thanks guys. I bet they would look decent on a silver car, too. If not, I'll end up pulling them off and spraying them the color of the color as scott is planning on doing. Who knows, I might just have some fun with them and paint them a different color every other month.

Bored at work post...

Picked up a SI cluster on the cheap from someone local last night.

Also, I am having one hell of a time trying to actually get the clutch I want in my hands.

1. I originally bought one on 2/19. Ebay seller never responded to any e-mails/phone calls, eBay ended up giving me my money back on 3/19.

2. So I bought another on 3/19, two days later, the seller e-mail me and say his inventory was off, refunded me (3/21).

3. 3/22 I ordered from the "Clubcivic.com Store" (basically tunersports.com as they offered me free overnight), today, I received an e-mail telling me they were out of stock and a refund is on it's way.

WTF???

I'll be buying the clutch yet again, from somewhere else, for the fourth time tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that they actually have it in stock.
