my 99 hatch.

I think Spoons would be the best way to go wtih. Do you know how to wire 99' si climate control in 98' dash? There is no instruction of how to do so. Thanks.

Also, Excel what size is your tires on those spoons? Do you have any scraping when you turn hard?

 

[Wss]

One of the nicest even with steelies

 

[_jawn]

wiring the climate controls is a huge b***h i heard. because your going from sliders to knobs. i heard its hard to get everything to work right...

why not just pick up a 96-98 civic-r climate control? they look better then the usdm 99-00 ones anyways.

I don't want all the buttons on the right side. I was told the requirements for this is to have the si heater block or blower where I would have to mount the coolant hose into, and hardness to mount the wires, so retap all the wires. The climate control should fit right in the dash as the original. Correct me if I'm wrong, I've done tons of research and not even one person post up the instruction and I have seen other people do this project.

 

[_jawn]

i seen it done. but i couldnt even begin to tell you how to do it. i would have to look at it personally. :shrug: make a post about it?

 

[BlitzEk9]

Good idea, let's hope they would put up some answers instead of complaining that it is a b*tch to do so.

 

[_jawn]

haha yeah im a jerk for comming off ont he wrong foot. good luck to ya.

how do you like those SRR control arms....thinking of getting a pair?

 

[1PhatCivic28]

damn nice ride man... spoon wheels would look really good on that... just an awsome hatch...

 

[anfrey]

what paint is that?!?!?!

 

[_jawn]

i love the SRR setup.

the paint is called 'gold rush'

 

[ExcelcivicSi]

f**k man your car is stupid, JDM is dumb APC kicks ass! lol jk

 

[anfrey]

gold rush, damn... it's f'n sweet. wish i could see it sparkle in person

 

[Zak8022]

looks good man.

 

[99ExCoupe]

how do the lower control arms effect the handling?

 

[_jawn]

effect? uhm.. the way you say that seems like a bad thing..

car rides like a dream u cant understand how amazing the handling is untill u ride in a car with a sway/tie bar setup.

the lca's have poly. bushings. really stiff. they are ALOT lighter then the factory ones. handling wise is from the bushings. the lca's i threw on for looks and weight.

i hate jdm its crap. i love apc more then my life i wanna make sweet sweet love to altezza's and bodykits. :dies:

I have all my front bushings redone with energy bushings...but the guy who was :supposed: to install them NEVER did the rears neither did he give me them so I could finish them at the shop me and a friend are building. Once I have some money I am going to buy the whole set again and sell the front ones. I really want the rear bushings. I am about to order a progress sway bar....should I get the tie bar as well? I am thinkin of getting those control arms...they are dope and a little less weight is always nice. Thanks for your input man!

 

[BlitzEk9]

Hey _jawn, one thing about ur radio mount. Did you need any brackets or anything. How did you hold up the radio?

 

[anfrey]

comptech makes a rear tie-bar mated to a rear swaybar... dunno if it's any good tho.

Dude! The car looks CRAZY! One sweet ride.

You've done almost everything that I want to do to my own '99 EK hatchback.

Have you considered posting some 'How To's" in the "How To" forum for the rest of us? Especially for things like the JDM dash tray, JDM steering wheel, and the JDM driver's side vent. It would really help the rest of us avoid any pit-falls and mistakes that we may experience.

Great lookin' ride dude.
