No worries mega... I may have them for awhile sitting in the garage.
The TYC's that Triz is selling are awesome. I've been running mine for more than a year and have had no issues. I love them. They even survived last winters crazy snow storms. My car had so much snow on it that it looked like a hatchback!
Good to know about the A6 hid's. I was concidering the BMW bosch hids at the suggestion of Gearbox. The Audi ones sound like an easier retrofit. No shroud mods, bolt right in, eh?

Well, they are deeper so you have to pop the clear lense off the headlight and then hack away the backside of the headlight, and fix the projector to the housing- I'd use epoxy clay. That way you can run a single xenon headlight and have separate dedicated high beams instead of the bi-xenon projectors that just flip the cutoff shield up, not giving you a true flood-light-high-beam. My buddy did this retro back when he had his 01 civic, the headlights were SOOOO bright because the lenses smoke the competition. He now has a TSX with stock HID projectors and says they are much dimmer then his old setup. And apparently TSX projectors are better then S2k projectors from what I remember.

EDIT: pulled up the link for the epoxy clay my buddy used. It comes as two half pound sticks you kneed together and form however you want. It dries crazy hard. Hes re-fabbed parts to fix a few copiers and printers at his work (hes an IT head). I think this is the same kinda stuff they use on race engines too... but dont quote me. Point is, this is some seriously ridiculous stuff that wont ever break or crack on you. I think when the world is over, all the crap ppl made out of this stuff is what aliens are going to dig out of the ground a million years from now when they come to visit our planet.

What do you got to trade... any asian ladies? I'm pretty set in everything I need in life. I need small cheap random **** like an extra kayak paddle, and a tamper that will fit the stock portafilter basket in my Rancilio Silvia expresso machine. I could also use a standalone DVR or better yet a 4 or 6 channel video capture card that detects motion and records at 30fps. So yeah... How old is your sister?

I was cleaning up the coils yesterday but had 2 asain girls stop by when I was in the middle of it. I ended up going to the liquor store with them and getting drunk downtown on the way to the blues fest. Stopped at carls jr for a spicy chicken sandwich- one of the ppl with us filled out the comment card and actually asked me what the date was... july 4th, duhhh. We all caught the fireworks- sat in the 2nd row. That was cool, but what wasnt cool is one of them had their bf meet up half way between it all and I'm like fuuuhhhhhk... **** was kinda funny to me until I sobered up. The MAX ride back was ridiculous. I was stuck between two strollers butt ****ing this arab guy till beaverton TC.

What'd yall do for the 4th?

haha nice Triz. I've wanted to check out that blues festival a few times but I always end up playing poker with some buddies and gettin drunk. So all in all I had a pretty good 4th of july lol

 
Rep Power: 0

I haven't done blues fest since before I had kids. We closed off my street last night and had a block party with around 40-50 ppl. Blew up some kick-*** fireworks bought in the Couve. Lots of beer and a few hot women tossed in the mix. Only pissed off 1 neighbor. She was mad that her cars were covered with fallout from the morters. ****in' whah! She has a couple civics (g5 & g6) that haven't been washed since they were new. I keep trying to get her to sell me the 93HB that doen't run, but she won't sell it. Weird lady! Oh well, it's teal anyway.

I was at Newport - Couldn't see **** for fireworks because it was foggy as hell. Kinda sucked but oh well, Still had a good time on the coast. Home tonight and then gone for another couple days. I took this week off

 
Rep Power: 388

I kinda took this week off... not really. I didnt work for two days, then worked friday, weasled my way out of saturday, worked today (sunday), and work tomorrow (6a-1:30p), and off for two or three days. So yeah, its a break from work and all, but a shitty one at that.

While cleaning the coils, I've been painting my rims- I mean, my stealies. Black, gloss black. I dented my wheel in the winter in a parking lot covered in slushy goop and picked up a used one from AutoAdventure that has lots of used Honda parts already pulled (125 SE Clay St- If you havent already been for parts, I suggest you check them out). Got the front ones done- paints done curing from last week- mounted them and tire shine'd em. Flipped the car around and pulled the rears. Wire brushed them (drill attachment) and sprayed them with goo-gone. I'll take car of prepping them for paint after work tomorrow and probably prime em with two or three base coats and maybe a layer of color. Fun stuff.

Hmm, what the hell else is going on with me... (turning this into my personal blog since hulu doesnt have any new content to watch)... Yeah, I dunno. We should get together for a meet.. Ima be pulling my exhaust and race header soon- need to pass emissions next month.

I was wondering about Auto Adventure. I am in desperate need of new rear brakes...So desperate, I am considering finding a base RSX and doing the 5-lug/rear disc swap. Rear drums are shitty and I refuse to even try to change them. On the way from Tillamook to Portland, coming down the hills my brakes were getting cooked to ****...so bad even touching the pedal made them vibrate to hell

hahah forgot to mention this. Went out to eat for my friends birthday dinner Saturday and somehow twisted my knee. about 5 loud *** snaps and cracks come from my knee and then immediate swelling. Pretty sure i tore a tendon or so in my knee cause now I can't walk on it correctly. Which brings me to why I now cannot really meet up very soon. Left leg is fuxed so I can't even drive manual :'( hopefully in the next week or so I will be good enough to drive my car. For the time being i have to drive my moms f-150 :/

Honder I have the exact same problem with my brakes. If I touch them while on the free way or going fast enough my steering wheel vibrates like a mo fo. I need to change up the pads to some hawk hps's.

Also, triz so far I have like 100 bucks in cash towards your coils. I'll be working out more money soon. Keep me posted on them

 
Rep Power: 388

Damn... Yeah I was looking at doing a rear disc swap for a long *** time (~2 years)... Cant find a 02-03 rear disc assembly from an EP3 to save my life. I've seen several crashed rsx's getting parted out. You can use the type s rear's, but need the base model's up front because the splines are the same as ours. If you do it and need help pulling the hub, I've been there and done that.

You can check part availability online (although it doesnt work in my browser, I'm using chrome with pop up blocker)- http://www.autoadventure.net/

I'm in the same boat on the rear disks. I had found a site last month that had entire rear suspensions from Aussie market civics with the rear disks. It was like $130 for the whole thing. Just pull the parts you need, then recycle the rest of the metal. Of course, I can't find the page again. As soon as I can find the place, I'll post a link.
Auto adventure is pretty awesome. I check their site every coupla weeks or so.
I am definately down for a meet. I'm gonna be gone from about July 19th to the 1st of August. ROAD TRIP!!! I've so been needing a road trip.

Rep Power: 347

Yeah, I know the Type S rears will work...The only problem is people put the Type S tax on parts. Would rather find a base model and get it all in one shot and hope to get a bulk discount

 
Rep Power: 0

so you just need a base line rsx front and rear axel and probably some other parts too that I'm not sure about like brakes and such probably. If that's what you guys are looking for I can look and keep an eye out. I've seen several rsx's getting parted out on CL and sometimes up in the WA area

Rep Power: 388

SO WOW... I havent been able to sign into my account for the past week and some change! Thank someone that reinstalled vbplaza... apparently my account and a few others are the only ones that get effected because of a bad plugin that it reacts with... so anyways, I'm back mf'ers!

I need a gauge cluster asap... I'm looking for one thats 01-02 style, coupe (if that matters on the old ones) LX... manual trans. I need it to have around 75k or so... I need to go and pass emissions and I dont want them to record a lower mileage then last time!!! (I did 03-05 cluster swap) Anyone got one hanging around (honder??) ARL? My emissions needs to be done by August 10th!!

Non critical parts:
I'm also looking for an LX cpupe headliner in beige and the visors... I have stripped down ones that are ready for customization- I had a red suede headliner back in the day. I can even help you do whatever ya wanna do.

dang that sucks. Was wondering where everyone was at for the past few days lol.

Sorry triz i'd help ya out with my cluster but its the stock 05 coupe with like 30k or something like that on it.

Someday triz someday I'm goin to meet with you and you can help me suede my doors

 
Rep Power: 347

Sorry dude, Sold my 01-02 cluster last year. Why do you need a different one? Just because of the mileage? If you need to borrow my 03-05 cluster, I'm cool with it. It just rolled over to 90K

 
Rep Power: 0

umm.... so when you have to go back to get an emissions test done you have to show them your mileage? Didn't think that it'd matter to them lol

 
Rep Power: 388

They log it. Its gay. Its where all the mileages come from when you look at carfax. I need to pull my race header off after I figure out this cluster thing! *sigh*

 
Rep Power: 0

well you could just pay to get it flashed to the right mileage so you wont really have to worry about it ever I guess. or just buy another cluster with something close to your mileage?

 
Rep Power: 388

Yeah, I've been all over ebay searching 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005... even 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, lol... I've got a few possibilities of clusters with close mileages, but they are ALL auto. Most of the sellers are too lazy to figure out the mileage before they pull them...

You know all those postings on CL with the guy saying hes parting out several 01-05 civics? Well, I called him to see what hes got- hes hitting me back up in a half hour.

I even hit a dude up on CL up by seattle a few mins ago.

I'm relentless. I'll find this damn thing sooner or later.



AS for getting it reflashed/reprogrammed to correct mileage, I think they take your vin and it gets recorded... I'll have to find out- all I know is it costs around 150.. so if I find a cluster for cheaper, I'll be better off.

 
Rep Power: 388

Damn, local John guy wants 100 bucks for the old school style cluster... seems like a rip when you can get it for 60 bucks shipped off ebay.

...40 bucks for both visors. *rolls eyes* which are 26 brand new from majestic... ****ing a. I refuse to pay 100, but ****...

 
Rep Power: 0

how many miles do you need showing? I havent driven my car in a while cause of my damn knee. But I think i'm showin like 80k i cant remember. I can check for ya when my mom brings my car home if you want

 
Rep Power: 347

I think you are being paranoid. Waaaaaaaaaaay paranoid. They didn't say **** to me about a cluster swap. Why would they be checking for that anyways? When i got DEQ done, I can for sure say they didn't have a picture book they whipped out and compared what clusters should be in what car. If you find any 01-05 cluster that has around the same mileage you want, and is manual you should be fine. They didn't even check mine, they asked me how many miles it had on it.

 
Rep Power: 388

Yeah, your right. They wont whip a book out- I was thinking down the line for when I sell. But whatevz, **** it- they can have an upgraded dope looking cluster. All the clusters on ebay are auto though. Blah. Fine, any manual cluster will do as long it has somewhere between 75-85k. And **** john from CL. I'll have to see what other clusters he has that are manual *sigh*

Preference order:
1) Old 2 door style that lights up red
2) Newer 2 door style with red rings
3) Newer 4 door style with blue rings.
