Euro_Racer's "first" project car

**euro_racer** · 10-12-2007, 01:56 PM

noone really got the wiring right for the hazard switch the best thing to do is jut use your stock switch extend the wires into the glove box or under your dash just so you can reach it if you ever need it, no biggie really, another problem is the rear defrog switch where you actually have to build your own little timer/switch described in this thread:

you dont have to use that method but if you dont your defrogger will be on non stop (if you wire the integra switch)

thanks man, there is nothing to see right now other than a messy garage with all kinds of parts and tools laying around...since we are pretty much neighbours you are welcome to drop by any time but the ideal time to come see the car would most likely be after the engine swap since that is when all the real "work" starts ahha

Not true. It depends if you want the harness plug and play. All it takes is re-tracing the wires.

My Co-driver spent a good portion of a week getting personal with an ohm multi tester.

The end result - plug and play harness with all the bells - Signal, Hazard, Defrost, A/C (forgott o turn the A/C light on)

That looks so pimp.... I suppose you never had to tackle the issue, but any tips on the door panels?

***prettyboy*** · 10-22-2007, 11:19 PM

pppimmmp

**euro_racer** · 11-08-2007, 04:39 PM

i got myself some of those OG wheels in silver with black but im debating if i want to go with the axis OG's or not after all....what do you guys think?

i put them on the car to see how it looks but since the car is not low enaugh (still on cheap lowering springs, didnt get a chance to do the suspension yet), it looks a bit off, maybe it needs to be slammed?...it would be different for sure but im not sure if i want to be different or simple like many other honda's with rota wheels

opinions?
