Picked up OEM Access Rear lip for my car from an ozhonda member, will paint and chuck it on friday or sat. This means my replica type R lip is up for sale.
This weekends effort: illuminating the boot of my EK1 hatch. Springs put under the parcel clip screws to provide power, copper tape around the ends to contact the springs, 3528 warm white LED strips tucked out of the way into the gaps of the back half of the parcel shelf. Parcel shelf clips in and out without any wires!
Only downside is resisting the urge to play "I wear my sunglasses at night" every time I open the rear hatch in the evening now :)

awesome effort and idea
pics of it lit up at night pls :)
I'll try to remember to take a shot later tonight - needless to say its more than adequate brightness wise :)
Should mention too, the power comes off the stock boot light ... so switching the boot on or off controls the parcel shelf too when the hatch is opened ...
sick, make a diy of it!
yeah a diy would be great information

So I thought I'd unregister it, Try and recondition the car even more when I have some spare cash. Then try to sell it for a higher price.
Too much low baller and tyre kickers... its no funny. (Sorry mods trying to stay on topic)
yeah I looked at your past posts and saw its black
looks very glossy,is it resprayed?
noticed you have promax sticker,good guys there
Nah Man.... not resprayed its just kept well... Don't know why ppl just dont believe u can keep a clean car... :'(
Even the Quarter panels bolts are still in place...
Been a while since I contributed to this thread - order on the way from US for new OEM EM1 rear sway bar, end links, brackets, bolts etc
How much did you get it for and where?Quote:

And the US prices on this site are up to 5 times cheaper, compared to what Honda would charge you, if they could get the parts.Quote:

For complete rsb setup, including the bar it was $AU220. With delivery to Australia it's a total cost of about $300 delivered to my door. And it's all OEM/ brand new, not 15 years old.
I set up a US shipping address at MyUS.com, which cost a one-off fee of $10.
Hopefully it should give my car a closer to neutral setup combined with the 22mm fsb...

Lmzo. A sway bar has not much difference in integrity used vs new. The endlinks/bushes/brackets yes. But the sway bar is just a bar.
As long as the bar hasn't gone past its elastic limit (which it shouldn't on a car), it'll be the same as a bnib bar.
no offense but you could have got 2nd hand ek9 22mm rsb for around that with decent endlinks and bushes, maybe even lessQuote:

could also upgrade fsb to a 26mm from ek4/em1/ek9 too for not much..
size doesnt matter. you better learn that
I picked up my ek4 16mm rear sway bar + unknown condition endlinks for $20 :D
btw noob question ctx or PHO: how do you tell if the endlinks are gone besides from hearing noises after its on the car.
Check for play in the endlinks. Move the bolt around (the stud that sticks out of the rubber) Its allowed to pivot but if you can move it in and out, side to side. Its gone, Shouldn't have any play, should only pivot.
Alright thanks man will have a look tomorrow.Quote:

If it was a b series, maybe different story, but I think 13mm rsb is more than enough for a d16
Just hoping it clears the exhaust piping!
Hondapartsdirect.com Still ship to Australia so you wont need a shipping forwarding service.
Ahh, thanks for that mate - looks like they have all the same parts at the same prices too. Good to knowQuote:

bad point its missing the the screws and clips that hold the grill section to the mould..if anyone can tell me what they are I'd greatly appreciate it :D (i think its a spring washer and a self tapping screw, but i'm not sure..)
how bad was it?Quote:

do you use a rotary buffer to work that? or by hand? i have some 'marks' in the car i need to get out but not sure howQuote:

Carayan, if you have small marks on the car it is better to buff them out properly than to use this stuff.
Yeah, we will see how it goes. Couldn't get much worse than it was!Quote:

I just did it by hand with a heap of clean cloths. I would probalbly use something better like McGuires to remove markings.Quote:

i don't mean to be rude but if you cant put the brake disk retaining screws in the right hole then you don't deserve to be working on an ek9Quote:

im confused in regards to what is correct :
