what happened?

Used the wrong size drill bit. Holes are too big now.

 

[squiggy]

Repurposed my Civic emblem!

jbweld the hole... then drill?

Welding is the plan. Just have to find someone to do it. I think my neighbor or his son would be able to.

Hmmm...just looked into what the "jb" part of that was. Interesting. That sounds like a plan!

well, if you have access to someone who welds, that'd be the best bet. But, jbweld would be a quick option. I know some people have had varied results with jbweld.

Jbweld is an excellent product, I used it to fill in a crack in my oil pan and it worked great. All through the winter it held up and still doesn't leak anymore

Just ordered from RedShiftChris

what endlinks are those?

 

[spdandpwr]

and how important is it to torque the endlinks to the proper specs. Pretty sure mine are torqued higher than 28 lb ft.

Torque will keep parts in a range with proper tension or give as necessary. Obviously under-torquing could lead to a part coming loose, but over-torquing could cause a part to warp or break under tension.

Swapped out the bulb in the moon roof switch.

I started out tearing apart the temp controls to see how the lighting worked in there. I am going to have to buy one from a junkyard to play around with it.





Or maybe I can cover them with red vinyl?

Going to tackle the steering wheel next to see if a bulb swap is easy or not. (CollegeHillsHonda Why do the torx bolts need replaced once the airbag is taken out?)

i'm sure a very thin piece of red vinyl will work, maybe make the lights a little more dim but it'll look good.
the moonroof button looks great btw

The goal is to swap all the lighting out with red if possible. I have already done the ambient light switch and VSA switch.

You'll love this mod! I know I do.
I used to be ashamed to lock my car when I got out and heard that little squeak that Honda calls a horn.
Which ones did you get?

The FIAMM ones off of Amazon.

Honda always has weak horns saying please excuse me sir. I'd rather a horn that screams , lead , follow or get the f out of the way.
