I got all my xmas st00fs today. Got a butt load of tools, making my colection even vaster. Seeing as I want to be a mechanic I'm building up now, have a lot lot lot. Got a new soldering gun and 100 ft of 12 gauge so I can start tucking, and I got some people that need wiring on stereos so I'll make some moola on the side too. As for stuff for my car I didn't get anythign but I will order some stuff this week. I think I'm going to get a B&M shorty and energy bushings. Probably going to get some purple led strips for interior too, flood the passenger feet and up front seats.

As for my car since the lil accident, everythings okay except for bumpers. Little chunk missing but it's all good. Like I said before, new bumpers and getting them and my si spoiler painted in spring. I don't think I'm going to get an alignment, I honestly don't care enough. I'm going to be putting my skunk2 springs on in a few months anyway so I'll have to get it realligned. And I'll have rims by then so a little camber wear on my steely rims is okay. I highly doubt my camber is off so bad that it'll notice, but I've got new Pirelli;s on my steelies. I'm done rambling, merry christmas to all.

 

What is the necesary stuff to convert a b18b from auto to manual? There's an auto b18 up for $350 on cl. Obviously I'd need ecu and clutch/flywheel and a tranny. But what other technical stuff is necessary? Am I better off just getting a manual one? Or would I save any money converting this one.

 

save your cash or try talking them down but if you do get it i want your v-tec solenoid im just saying that now

 

Ha I'll probably end up selling my y8 swap to my friend for his hatch. I just want to figure out how much I'd have to put in the motor to convert it to manual.

 

Just ordered 4x blue led bars through oznium, be getting them by the end of the week. Lighting up the floor with them. As of right now I don't really have much to do to my car lol, saving my money for suspension and a motor. I need $500 for skunk2 struts and Blox camebr kits. Looking to buy an ls motor March-ish and tear it downa nd rebuild, hopefully gonig to buy an auto one. Save money. I'll put a stage 1 or 2 clutch in, lightened flyhweel, gsr or b16 tranny. By the time I'm done converting it I'd have spent less than I would buying a manual one and buying the flyhweel and clutch, and I'd have shorter gearing. I'm also going to be working on my friend z6 he is buying too, so I don't have a ton of stuff to do with my car, or time.

 

WOW it has been a while since I've updated. I haven't done a ton to my car, got my tow hook painted purple and looking sexy on the back. Cleaned up the bay a little bit, ran some blue interior neon.

I am working on converting my interior to black, slowly. I wrapped th arm rests and center counsel in black and also did the pasenger side visor. Picking up black interior paint tomorrow to paint the mirror in the visor before I epoxy it shut. Going to be doing my headliner and moonroof door black tomorrow.

Gonig to actually paint the plastic stuff in like March once it warms up. Gonig to get gsr leathers for the front and rear.

I'll get pics up asap tomorrow/thursday once the headliner is done.

 

Ahh 8 hours of doom. Wrapped my headliner in black, was a huge pain in the rump. The moonroof was annoying to do. Originaly we wrapped the cloth over the factory fabric on the sliding moonroof door to find it made it too thick on the slide. Had to redo that. Headliner looks sweet, was pretty easy. I have 1 visor done, have to epoxy it back to gether tomorrow, other one is still tan. Spent so much time on the plastic trim pieces. I absolutely hate them. Broke a bunch of clips so when I paint the plastic pieces I'll have to go to Honda to buy more clips. By the end we were so tired we were putting things in out of order and ended up having to redo stuff. But it is all done, I'll post up pics tomorrow (sorry). I'm so tired I don't feel like going outside, and I have finals tomorrow. I'm thinking of keeping some trim pieces grey since the 2 tone looks pretty nice.

 

Blue lights in a green car? thats gonna look horrible..............

And any updated pics????????/ your not gonna get any responces without pics.......

 

Well here are some pics. I will paint all the plastic pieces on the headliner eventually (oh **** handle, clothes hanger, dome light, etc). I am probably going to get an led dome light and tint the lens on mine when I start painting, once it warms up. For the strip that goes around the moonroof that pinches the headliner to the moonroof (the grey strip), where can I get those in black? I don't think I can paint it. And the blue leds look good, I like them and that's all that matters.

Here's some pics!

Looking across - door insert and center counsel wrapped:


Center counsel: it is a lot cleaner than it looks, and my dogs sheds a ton so her hair is everywhere and it likes to stick to the fabric:


Door panel:


Back half of headliner:


Front half of headliner (the grey strip is what I asked about above):


I don't know why the visor lid looks a wierd green, I painted it black:


My fat dog Riley:
