How come you only want a small strip tinted on your windshield? If you're getting 10%, Id get a huge strip. It'd look even better (darker)

I tinted 8-12 inches on mine...I cant remember.

 

I'm tall, and the roof is low. The windshield is at more of an angle than your civic also and is not as tall. The main reason for me wanting the strip to block out some glare from the sun during sunset, because the visors on the del Sol are lame and i'm not paying mad cash for JDM visors.

Also, when I bought the car, it had a 4" strip and I peeled it all off because it made it too hard to see because it went so low. I would have just trimmed it, but the tint was in horrible condition so I just took it off.

 

Lots of stuff installed today:
-new hood hinge
-new interior door handles
-new exterior passenger door handle
-OEM passenger door lock power actuator
-inline fuse installed on door lock wiring (tapped at the fuse box the lazy way by sticking a male quick connect in the fuse slot, and then putting an inline fuse in my wire)
-distributor cap
-alternator lower mounting bolt and nut
-SOHC VTEC decals (replaced the old silver ones with some black ones to add to my stealthness


Ordered a few things (some small cheap side projects):
-new OEM Leather Steering Wheel Cover
-new OEM gas cap
-new OEM gas cap holder for while filling up
-used AEM p/s pump underdrive pulley (got it cheap, couldn't resist the easy install and price)
-brighter fog light bulbs
-black "del Sol" decal for rear license plate panel


Ordering a Walbro 255LPH fuel pump next week, depositing more money into my savings account.

w00t! Hopefully we'll find some good stuff on Friday.

 

yea
i'm nearly broke so i won't be getting anything, just exploring
you can buy whatever you want though, lol


Well that is, if people buy stuff on this thread I won't be broke... so buy stuff people!

 

Just bought a Turbonetics manual boost controller for $35 shipped. Also, on Tuesday I will be paying for RC 440cc injectors for $150 shipped, and a Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump for $78 shipped.

 

what is your eta for this project??

 

he said it would be a while before he got everything done with his turbo, then he's got more to do. so a long time

 

a few months hopefully
i'm starting to buy parts now so things are picking up in pace
however, my tires are getting low and sometime I may end up having to take a 2-3 week pause from buying/saving for turbo parts, in order to purchase some new rims and tires. (I will be buying rims and tires because I want new rims and there's no sense in spending $400 for new tires for rims I don't even want)

 

wonder why your tires are getting low so quickly :P
