Got alot done today decided to do the two torque mounts and while i had the fender liners off i put the new ones in and also when i got the car i noticed one amber corner was brighter than the other so i bought two new bulbs and put those in also. After all that took the car for a ride to sell my TE37s from my s2000 and gave the car its first wash of the year
Thing was hurting
New vs old what seems to be aftermarket bulb

Put in another little order last week few bolts for when i eventually put coilovers in, a itr shift knob , shift boot, numerous other bolts, and a power steering upper mounting bracket, i had mine powdercoated and i went with gloss black and dont really think it looks right so just went and spent the money to get the OG finish with a brand new one , bit ridiculous being $90 but ill be alot happier when its all said and done

Soo whole reason behind buying the type R shift knob was i seen someone on the em1_crew facebook page had been redoing the leather on peoples em1 shift knobs so i ordered it and sent to him to redo the stitching from red to black so basically have a brand new em1 shift knob now 
, may have a new update and cool sorry on monday

so the cool story i was talking about… last august i posted a WTB ad on honda-tech for a 96-00 oem car cover and ofcourse with them being long discontinued i got no hits, last week i bumped the post and received a message the next day from a guy saying he has one from his 98 4dr he sold and that he bought a 99-00 hatch but it was too long so he got the right one for the hatch and had this one sitting in a storage tub for over a year and said give him a offer, i replied simply just give me a price shipped since i wasn’t really sure on a price since i never see them available. ( This was around 10pm at night ) so i woke up next morning with a text around 8am saying send me a pic of your car… so i didn’t ask why i just did and he said anything done to it? said no bought it all stock just been refreshing it and has a set of recaros thats all, he replies ive decided to RAK you…( me clueless says huh?) he responds Randon Act of Kindness i rather see it go to someone who’s a fan of old hondas, just cover shipping and ill send it to you so i sent it thinking im gonna end up with a box of rocks sent to my house which is why i didn’t tell anyone about this whole thing incase i didn’t actually get the cover but it came in today and its minttt so nice never thought id find one never mind for basically free crazy guy made my year and once i opened the box and seen it wasn’t full of rocks i sent him some more money to show my appreciation but thought id share that story my mind is still blown guy went out of his way to message me, than package it, go to ship it and for nothing in return and he also stated he works at honda and it retailed at $180+ and has been discontinued so he knew what he had

I braved up to rip apart the rear interior today been holding off just because i knew it was gonna be a not so fun project but figured its a nice cool day might as well get it done before it gets warmer so when i first got the car i noticed the two rear upper panels had a crack one on the outside at the top of the door jam and other in the inside along the headliner being discontinued from honda i have a buddy that keeps buying em1s on an auction site and he had 2 clean panels that i picked up off him. Wasnt fun but im glad its done and back together

So made an 8hr round trip to NY last night after work wheels were just redone from quickstrip powdercoating in NY they look amazing , usually when people redo the gunmetal it comes out too dark but these look great. Going to be a while before i do the whole 5lug swap but have been looking for a clean set of gunmetal type R wheels for a while so just picked them up to have and will get the rest of the setup down the road and go through it all

So since picking up the gunmetal type r wheels ive been looking for a set of jdm itr gunmetal H center caps… found a couple people with them brand new but no one wants to sell and found a couple used sets but were not in the greatest condition. Ended up talking with a buddy and he told me he had a set painted black that hed sell so figured thatd be my best option and just get them painted and hopefully one day ill find a set of gunmetal caps brand new , also took her out for a nice ride the other day and took a couple photos.
