Worked on the civic, removed all the old stereo/ amp setup wiring and extra battery in the trunk. Started to swap the blown rear struts to the KYB GR2's, got too hot and stoped until its a bit cooler out (over 100 degrees in the shop). Scored some LS meshies for it and pulled off the stampies.

Washing the carpet is never fun. I actually was able to stuff the junkyard carpet I got for my hatch in my washing machine. It totally ruined all the sound deadening that was left on it (I tore most of it off) but it didn't smell after wards.

Just ordered the parts to replace my ISB in my EX tranny.

Removed the intake maniolf and replaced it with a newer one due to the constant CEL code for "EGR insufficiant flow"

Went from this (not my engine, but to give you the idea)...

To this...

Just had to remove and pry out this paper weight...

and also cleaned up this as well... the EGR tube...

Put in new taillight gasket to stop the water leaking in that I discovered during my interior swap. Now I am mostly finished with the brown to black conversion except for a few little things, like I need some new black Acura floor mats (rockin my old brown ones for now) and the sunroof sunshade changed over (have the shade, just a pita to install).

I notched my frame, lowered the car more, installed my Alpine head unit, and had the car claybar'd and waxed.
