Mod of the Day

[99 rs]

We have one of these threads on another forum and it seems to pretty popular. Also noticing from Shawn110975's thread people like to see pictures. Post in here if you did a small mod to your car or a series of mods. This isn't really a build thread but just a place to put some small mods without creating new threads. Try to post only if you have pictures.

My mods over the past week or so:

First, the parts pictures. I'll be installing the interior stuff sooner than later.

Car in winter storage mode

Taitec front strut tower bar with both working windshield wipers

Spoon magnetic engine and transmission drain bolts

 

[99 rs]

KW V3's bound/rebound/height adjustable coilovers.

Type R lower chassis bar

SOS screen, double DIN bracket, harness and Honda navigation pod

 

[99 rs]

BerzerkFury02 's fibreglass double DIN dash kit (better pictures to come)

 

[99 rs]

...and the look I'm going for

SOS car cover placed in a ...custom... bag lol

 

[99 rs]

Some sort of snaps came with the bag as well

Some other random parts: wide view blue tinted mirrors, cup holders, new spark plugs, also found a service manual for really cheap.

Also found some OEM fog lights but decided not to do them on my 2005. Will probably go for some LED DRLs.

Now the actual installs.

The KW V#'s don't come with top hats. Have to use the OEM ones. I also wanted to use the stock ones since they're quieter. I didn't take any "before" pictures but have a few "after" pictures.

OEM strut/top hat taken apart into its components

Make sure to take this rubber piece out before you install the KW's

You have to re-use these collars

 

[99 rs]

Glue/stick the KW collars in place (clean the surface of the OEM top hat really well first)

 

[99 rs]

Here is the bottom and top adjustments

Here is where the rear sway bar bolt goes through

 

[99 rs]

The front collar just about hits the upper control arm so you can't lower the suspension all the way.

Lower NSX-R bar installed

***********************************
Taitec front strut tower bar. For the cowl all of the vertical plastic pieces from the bottom had to be cut smooth. Other than that it fit pretty well.

 

[99 rs]

Can barely see it once installed

***************************
Also, due to some ....complications.... I had to install DRLs. Made a plug and play kit. If anyone from Edmonton needs to borrow this kit just let me know. It involves no cutting of any factory wires and everything is done under hood.

The sockets are a replacement and leaves the OEM one unused

 

[99 rs]

I was also throwing two ABS codes. My car nudged a curb a little while ago so I'm finally getting to the codes now. Remember to put the rubber collar back onto the new sensor when installing it. The rubber could also be stuck in the hub so also make sure you're not doubling up on the rubbers. In my case, I had to take the sensor out twice to put the rubber in.

The test connector is behind the passenger foot rest

The codes (front left and rear right)

************************
I also had to replace my clock spring. Not much to see here other than the fun fact that it is over 277 cm long fully unravelled.

 

[99 rs]

**************************
Also did some maintenance items for this year (spark plugs and fuel filter)

Also someone stole my BBS valve caps so I got some cheap chrome ones

 

[99 rs]

Some final wrap up shots for now. Will be doing interior stuff in a little bit.

Alignment shop afterwards

I threw mine out unfortunately. I know the garbage was taken out and the garbage truck already came so no rescuing it. Otherwise you could have had it for free. Sorry.

Thanks,
Nuno

Wow!!!

Also found some OEM fog lights but decided not to do them on my 2005. Will probably go for some LED DRLs.

Those actually look like Canadian DRL's, not fogs.

 

[QPDO]

RB 2-pc rotors and hawk HPS pads going in, may as well touch up the calipers while it's on jack stands. Getting my wheels powdercoated gloss black as well. Should look good when its done. A big thanks to 99rs for loaning me his wheel while I sort my debacle out.
