My ED6... weekend racer on a budget

[1mellowkid]

Cigarette lighter aux fm transmitter. Problem solved. Just put it in the dash when not in use ha

Haha that's awesome man! I personally enjoy my Alpine deck with the iPod jack. I'm sure without it I would go insane....

[1mellowkid]

WIN!! Haha I'm putting my stock one back in today as well

I love this build, I planned on getting an EJ8 civic but this makes me change my mind. BTW we have the same name! My name is Micah lol

For real? Well then you have an awesome name, sir. And thank you very much. I'm glad my build can influence people that much. It makes me happy.

Also, are you running a short shifter? If so, what brand/kind and how does it feel?

Nope. Just a factory DC2 shifter that I got from a junkyard because it was a dual-bent shifter and looked cool. I actually love it. A normal unbent shifter put my hand way too close to the dash in third gear. I had to stretch my arm too far and I would miss third when racing.

Well I don't really have a cool update. But I did just get out of school so I'll be doing little things this summer but not much. But what I DO have is a cassette player! I've wanted one for a while because I despise having to burn CD's and all the other inconveniences associated with them. Like skipping. If I had to hear a CD skip one more time I was going to kill a cute animal and not even care.

But this tape deck is really pretty. Works. Stock. And now I can use my mp3 player and my old tapes. Rad. I am very happy.

Look at my fabulous photography and editing skillz.

Thanks dude! Maybe I should buy a lathe and start making them, eh?

Do it. I really really really love my doorknob but I would give serious consideration to a custom hardwood shifter like yours. Do it. For science.

Dude that cage set up is sexy....so clean. The portions you cut out for the rear lid came out real good. Also that shift knob, i want one lol

Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Haha! You're awesome. Glad you thoroughly enjoy everything!

Love the shift knob man. All about personal preference

Cool, man, thanks! It feels so different but I'm getting used to it.

Car is awesome. Thread is awesome. Far as I can tell, OP is awesome. Can't wait for AWD, haha

God bless dude! Keep it up!

This guy is awesome. Thanks a bunch! Unfortunately, there won't be any AWD on this car. I just don't have time to do anything major while in school. And I need it drivable!

I think it looks tight. Almost a cross between oldschool Nardi hardwood and a boso-style glass dildo shifter.

On another note, I scraped really badly today on campus. I was trying to make cool high rpm noises in the tunnel and didn't see the crown in the road.

It's pretty deep really. No fluids are leaking and nothing appears damaged so yayy!

Ugh, that sucks man. I have the same problem with my trans but I have an auto so it hangs low and is all flat like the oil pan.

Looks like you're almost about to scrape through your down pipe lol. But 5*'s man..

UGH. That must be awful. I think I'd die. Yeah... ALMOST. It's actually not as crushed up in real life as it seems in the pics. Basically just ovalized pipe. I'm going to rock it. It's finally the same height as my oil pan and trans which is what I wanted to happen so I could make a skid plate and everything would be even. Yes. I intentionally drove around on the crowns of roads to get it like that.

Thank you!

That last picture makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Well over the weekend I didn't have much to do and nobody came to visit me like friends should. Jussayin. So I made a shift knob. I found it a year ago in a trash can as the handle to an umbrella. Cool beans. It literally took all of eternity to sand between every ridge so I could stain it.

I like the actual knob a ton but I'm not 100% "ilikethis" about it in the car yet. Time will tell if it stays. Opinions?
