Oh, yeah I totally understand it's not going to last. I already have a new one ordered it should be here in like 4 days. I just need it to last me that long. haha.

So fuse blew again. WTF! This was making me mad so I ended up just tracing the wiring and I found a plug that connects the main harness to the back end harness and I found a broken off wire plus the plug has a bunch of corrosion. disconnected the plug and the fuse didn't blow. this better be the fix.

Chasing electrical problems sucks, I should know. Good progress on the civic man, just keep at it!

Well first of all I want to do all the work myself, none of the work will be done by a shop besides like the obvious things. eg, alignments and what not.

I want it low but not super low because I want to be able to drive it hard.

B16 swap or something with a bit more power.

Delete everything I don't need or isn't really worth it.

And just drive the living hell out of it.

Oh and get some dope wheels.

Haven't really done anything because Iowa sucks in the winter. But I managed to paint the rear bumper black( might be shitty but I don't care). I painted the steelies turquoise because it's a sweet color. Planning on getting 2 inches lower this weekend. I've never driven a low car have any advice guys?

Lots of angle when approaching bumps/entrances, and drive slow unless you want to break shit.

What about fabbing up a scrape plate on the bottom so instead of the oil pan it rubs that?

learn your roads first. figure out the worst streets and bumps/divets/pot holes/ man holes basically every imperfection that can screw up your oil pan and avoid them, you'll learn more the more you drive and eventually realize that somethings are unavoidable. and a skid plate will be fine but i don't think that you'll have to do any of this because your only dropping it by 2 inches which is basically getting rid of wheel gap right?

Well it's already on lowering springs and aftermarket shocks so it's decently low right now. I have like maybe 4-6 inches from my oil pan to the ground
