Aw what the hell, the interior is somewhat clean, I might as well whore things up a little.

I must admit, its in decent shape considering the 15 years, and 208,000 miles of abuse its been through.







Anybody want toe give me some clean floor mats? Mine are pretty wrecked.







I love this sticker, it came with my wastegate actuator.



The trim around the radio is showing its age, that stuff is brittle like none other.

Time to take your carpet and floor mats out and have them steam cleaned and then dye them.

Actually, the carpets not bad, just the mats are destroyed. Pulling the carpet is not worth it anyway, I need a new shell, mine has cancer.

I didnt clean them, so they are really dirty. I got them all pretty last month when the car came out of storare, but Ive dragged quite a bit of mud in already. The drivers side has a big hole from my heal.

Hahahaha, no.

The wheel alone cost almost twice as much as the CD deck. That being said, its totally worth it.

When I find one, and strip this one, you can have it for next to nothing if you trailer it away. The passenger rocker and pinch weld are missing. The drivers rocker is all fiberglass. The passenger rear quarter is solid rust/bondo from the fuel door to the wheel well. The floor pan has giant holes under both front seats. The trunk has 2 fist sized holes at the wheel wells. The frame rails look like they were shaped from rusty playdo. Its not worth it to me to fix at this point. I would rather start with a cleaner shell, strip it to nothing, and do things right while I continue to drive this one.

?

Really?

Everthing in there is either USDM S14, or custom/aftermaket.

All the gauge holders, shift boot, and ebrake boot are hand made. Just the HKS knob, Nardi wheel, Sabelt harnesses and gauges are aftermarket.

I think I see harness without a cage. Are they mounted to a harness bar?

Naw, I just zip tied them to the headrest, they are non funcitonal.......

Just kidding, yes there is a harness bar. I had planned to build a 4 point roll bar/half cage, but when I pulled the rear interior to weld it in, I discovered rust. To much for a cage to be welded to without huge reinforcement plates.

Looks good. I have never had much luck with Clarion head units. Maybe I only got lemons I thought my radio trim was bad, but it is only broken at the attachment tabs. Very poor design IMO. So, how's about the switches...black and silver?

Black arms the missile guidance systems, silver begins firing missiles at 4 second intervals at the primary locked target.

It was cool 4 years ago, now its just not worth changing. I cant take paint off the car and move it to a new shell, so Im not painting it. Usernames can be changed. Flat black has become the new honda civic, more and more Ive been feeling the need to wash my hands of it.
