Project is going good. Where did you order the rear disc conversion parts from and what are you using as a guide? I am also interested in this conversion.

I got them off of a guy on the Honda-Tech marketplace. They're from a 2000 Si. There is a lot of info on HT about this conversion. Here are a few I've read.

The day has finally come...
I've removed the last remnants of my ricer days. The blue interior ambient glow is finally gone.

Look at that mess! All those ricer installed wires.


2 wires to each glow strip thingy, 2 strips to each power plug. There were 16 of those strips, 8 rigged plugs worth.

Down in the floor with the trash where it belongs.

All of my wiring except for the audio system is back to stock! I'm so proud of myself...

dang lots of wires.LOL thats why i run one power wire around the car for the lights and just tap off it for other lights. if ya ever go for any interior lighting again i highly suggest some ledflex strips! or for under seat lighting some cold cathodes.... only downfall about the cold cathodes is the large transformer box and short wires on the bulbs. other than that the price rules for them!

main thing to keep it from looking rice is hide all the bulbs... only have the output light visable.

Thats what I did pretty much. Tapped the cig lighter, ran all 8 plugs in parallel from that set of wires, then had to run all those damn wires all under the carpet and under panels and into the air vents. You could never see the source, but the glow was there. I don't think I'll ever do ground effects or cold cathodes.

Post removed because false hope of finding Si rims is depressing.

DITO... .trade fast...... i love the SI wheels myself! they have the perfect fitment since they are OEM and since they are 15s you still have plenty of sidewall tire for a comfortable ride if lowered.
thats what i really want for my 96dx!!!!! but ive lost the hardcore desire to mod the civic so its not getting much work at all since my truck is getting about all of my money lately!

^x3 Si wheels rock! The only wheels that I'm digging right now over the Si wheels are the HX wheels. So, yeah, trade quick before the dude sells them or changes his mind!
