Default RE: Danomatic'

I'm done with the center grill, no more mods to that. I'm done with the fogs, no HIDs or painting the cover.

My plans as of now are basically all maintainance plans, no major mods or conversions in the future. She's done.

Here's a video of an auto-x event this summer. I finally figured out how to compress video. Either way here you go:



Needless to say, I have to find a way to more securely mount my camera...

I'm waiting for some LEDs before I start the cluster swap. I'll be doing a write-up for EGs as the ones out there blow.

It's not a direct swap, but it is pretty straight forward for EGs and EKs

I will have to:
-modify the stock cluster's shroud (the clear plastic and gauge face frame) a little to accommodate the wider Integra cluster.
-cut back the Integra cluster's shroud
-cut, connect and solder the Integra pigtails to the stock harness
-make a clear plexiglas cover...

etc... It'll all be in the write up.
