[SiR_chris]

what about putting it back together after triming it what did you use and has it held firm on ya door cards ??

Drill the rivets out to remove them and small self tappers to reattach

Looking good hoppi!

Nice work on the door cards and back pillars. What did you use? Looks like fabric cloth?

[hoppi05]

thanks guys and as SIR_Chris said really, in this sol they were already done but the pics below should show where they have been drilled and then fixed in place with screws so they are very secure.

Basley-yeah its some fabric i had imported to do it, its some japanese cartoon symbols/characters of some kind just thought the JDMness of it would fit the SIR and brighten it up nicely, plus the last owner had a thing for crazy interiors so it thought i would follow suit lol. it is cotton fabric that is stuck in place with double sided sticky tape and they secured with your basic hobby glue the one thats a pain and stretches everywhere whilst using it but it sets solid and its clear so you can tell even on the white, plus i only used it on the underside so you wouldn't see it anyways.

some more update pic's, got my OMP wheel on and my snap off Sparco boss man the horn is been a pain though! i think this horn is short it wont stay in and hardly works and i have wired it up dam good and earthed it well using a Momo boss so i think its ebay time for a new one unless anyone has one? i also cleaned it for the first time too, this lead me to find a lot of rust that needs work especially on the bottom of the drivers door!? i did not think this was a common place for rust to develop but it has on this one!

[hoppi05]

just had an update that my coilovers should be here this week too which is fab as you can see on the pic's the rear is sat high on the Ohlins so selling them to Morf for is project, need to get the rear camber arms off now and free them up!!!

can the camber arms be taken off with the car on the stands? ie not take anything else off?

[hoppi05]

[battscrxvti]

[hoppi05]

thats a shame mate thought you may have dropped on then....

[hoppi05]

OK another update with some more parts added and other bits cleaned i think i have a bit of OCD starting, so i have sorted the steering wheel horn issue out now by adding the cover that came with it DOO...and the horn works so the earth worked , i have added my wink mirror which was fun to add but got it sat nicely behind the rear view mirrors and they can still be used too also is there a correct way they should be installed i have done mine to how the instruction sheet states but just wondering (i mean is there a particular way the glass direction should be facing?)

i also completed some more jobs in the engine bay tightening bits back up ready for some work this weekend and next.

oh and i have removed the rear wing as i prefer them off but need some advice on how to cover the holes up? i was to use a plastic grommet thing and plastic nut to hold in place?

[bonkers]

is the wink mirror from america?? as if it is then it is more than likely set up for a left hand drive car by looking at it as the mirrors seem to be facing the passenger ..

[hoppi05]

The mirror is from stew on civic life so I no its OK and its reversible just not sure if its correct way lol

[hoppi05]

Just checked out some others installs n yeah I've put mine in wrong way lol I'll sprint it round....
