I have a piece of Recaro fabric in the shape on a Civic door panel from when I had a Civic.

What should I do with it? Ideas?
 
i would love to refinish that piece above the glove box but it seems like its a huge pain to get that thing off
 
Had to replace the alternator belt again today. Got that done, went to start the car and poof. Battery is shot. Replace the battery, go to start it and I get a big spark off of the negative terminal and then a lot of smoke off of the terminal.

Oh... then I saw this...

drove 3 hrs north to play in the snow with my dog. Loved the handling in the mountains. Also hit 68k :( on the odometer.
 
started it :D

but then the rpms shot up to 3.5k and thats after the car was warm! thinkin its my throttle cable, cruise control, or i got a vac leak somewhere

turbo issue? lol... the vac leak woudn't cause a sudden jump in rpms.. would cause the oppisit... the only place i can think of that would cause that would be at the brake booster... but even tehn you would have to plug it up... im willin to bet it is throttle line thatgot jammed up or something due to recent maintance or something to that nature...

^^^ oh geez, what are the specs on the turbo ?

well spec wise.. just a gt2554RS stock.... I have a PNP'd intake side and exhaust side that is going on it, nothing special... I have a gt2860RS sitting on my bedroom floor, waiting internals, but i couldnt pass up a stock turbo for cheap.

Damn! What is that? Cancer?
 
^^^ lol no thanks scratch... however i am gonna throw those injectors away...

Well, come to find out, the other injectors I ordered before you found the missing one, I didn't even need in the first place...

The rough idle I was having was from the tons and tons of stereo wires that were just sitting in the car...we pulled out a box worth...sure enough, car runs and idles great now...lol...
 
Electrical is a pain in the ass. When I first got my car it was loaded with cables/ AV wires, hell even an ethernet cable. lol
 
This arrived in the mail this afternoon! :D:D:D
