Lip comes in the mail today, i'll install it and take pics. Suppose to have some fender liners on their way here too that I bought, maybe those will be here tomorrow, idk.

Finally, I can resume the turbo project. Starting Monday i'm saving my money up for the stuff I still need.

Also, I found a guy selling a rebuilt (by an Acura tech) D16Z6 transmission (all bearings replaced for sure, possibly some syncros... he's gonna get back to me with that info) with an OBX LSD in it, and only 1500 miles since the LSD install and rebuild. He says his friend wants to buy it but if his friend falls through he'll sell it to me. He said he'll take $350 plus shipping, which isn't bad considering the LSD itself was $350. That's definitely gonna be what i'm saving for first so I can grab it while I can.

Checked yesterday and found out my rear speaker wires were reversed. Fixed that and now all I can say is WOW, these sound great.


Installed my 92-95 Civic SiR front lip today. Scratched up my already sh!tty paint on the bumper while I was installing the lip. (It was a BITCH to install since it's not for a del sol).

I was really tired and my hands were shaking so here's the least blurry picture I could take. I'll take more soon.

I rinsed it off.

You can see the walls on the sides of my driveway... those are retaining walls, my driveway and garage are cut into a hill. We just got done doing yardwork, so grass shavings had made their way from the grass near the top of the retaining wall to my car and it was covered in grass.



and good news... my dad's friend came over today and told me he knows a guy who has a paint booth at his house and can paint my car good for less money than the body shop wants. He's gonna talk to him for me.

Well my dad got a new camera (Nikon P90), and me being the tech wiz of the house, I got to set it up and play with it. So anyway, shot some pics of the car. Now you guys can really see how bad the paint is (a lot of it is just that it's dirty though... the only thing wrong with my paint is that some spots are not shiny, and my fenders have some dings (gonna replace those before painting)). For example, the hood, trunk, and fenders are really dirty.

Here they are though.
























and then here's my workspace
