^ Hahaha naw im not gonna do that lol but okay ill look into it thanks guys! Im wanting to do all white led's throughout the interior (dome light, dash board, cluster) and then once i get yellow fogs ima do led's in those and then yellow led's for the license plate and led's in my tails once i get oem ones oh and led's in the break light too :P with the 4500K HID's for the headlights haha still white and almost stock looking (if that makes sense)

 

not do what? bend the tabs to fit a larger bulb in there? its easy and doesnt hurt anything!
you dont even bend it that much. trust me im not the only one thats done it to fit a larger light in there! i used a led dome light as well so theres no extra voltage. and with a larger bulb you can get more leds in the light

 

NO NO NO i meant i wont put a small led flashlight in my glovebox haha

 

Hey Kenny just finished reading threw your entire project thread so far, the hatch looks pretty good I like how you switched to darker/black wheels over those chrome looking ones. I agree with you on the ep3 actually, alot of people don't like the looks etc. but I have also always wanted one. They do have a k-motor as well remember that, a dc5 would be nice too.

I used to have the same problem with my parents at your age too, but they were more worried I was spending money on a depreciating investment *(which is true lol) but if you enjoy it and don't spend all your hard earned $$ like addiction mentioned, theres nothing wrong with that. Also its pretty cool your dad helps you out, my dad is not really interested in anything with working on cars except for basics. I enjoy reading about the work your getting done on the car in time, some of the best/most rewarding work to do on a car is the maintainence stuff (such as de-tinting, alternator etc,) as it will make the car run alot better.

 

great thread kenny im in for more

 

Thanks guys! And yea, Drew i love the rsx/dc5's but i deffinitely love the ep3's haha but im really wanting to put more into this hatch but we'll have to see how everything shakes down during and after college So basically ive gotten everything mechanical wise that i needed to get done, well, DONE lmao so now ima fix the muffler i think we've figured out the exhaust problem and all i need is like a bracket or something where the end of the cat meets the actual piping which shouldnt be hard to find and replace and then she should be purring just fine haha so thats my next priority haha that and find a new job in the auto industry somewhere haha for reals i would even enjoy just washing cars at a dealership or somethin lmao ima go job searching next week since were outa skool finally, WHOOT WHOOT! Im graduating in like a week omfg im uber excited haha anyway yah so thats the basic plan for the project Just get the exhaust fixed and move on from there

 

I remember graduating High school about 6 years ago... I miss it to be honest and wish I could go back to that time frame.

Regardless, congrats on the Graduation! Any plans for more schooling? J/w

 

I miss HS too it was fun times with no worrys

 

I graduate June 12th. Then I have a 4 month summer break, then I'm off to my local tech college. I'm doing their import/Honda based program, it is 8 weeks of class and 8 weeks at a dealership alternating for 2 years, pretty much already have a Honda dealership lined up to sponsor me as an intern. So after my 2 years, I'll have no debt, be a certified Honda tech, and have a job. Future wise idk what I'm doin, I'd love to work for like King or a tuning place... but who knows what the future holds! Good luck with what you do!
