Well if someone want's a car that bad and have a hookup at the dmv they can get your address and all that good stuff just by your plate that's prob why people blur the plate's when posting picture's.I say come get my car I'll be waiting with my lil friend
or they can just skip all that mess and just follow you til you get somewhere and jack your car straight compton style and leave your ass layin on the road wondering wtf just happened lol
found a plug that fits my rear hatch window perfectly. its from an 88-91 honda crx. (headbang)
thanks to someone on this board who did this a few years back...cant remember who, but yea thanks. lol
not a super exciting mod or anything but I'm much happier with this plug than that electrical tape. haha

I have the world's worst wiper on mine (2 year old Canadian Tire brand POS) and I still find it useful. Sure it doesn't get the window clean on the first wipe, but with a little washer fluid and a minute or two of intermittent wiping the window is perfectly clean. I don't think I could live without my rear wiper...
well actually, I removed a lot more than just the wiper and motor. haha
dont care what anyone thinks. it all for fun. I never have anyone in the backseat ever, so no real loss. with a weight loss of 96lbs, my car rubs less now, feels a bit pepier, but is also a lot noisier in the cabin. not unusual.
like I said just having fun because I saw some weight redution threads and thought I'd start ripping out stuff, just to see.
with a power to weight ratio of roughly 20.89lbs/hp for the p5, I figure a gained about 4.5hp. In these light cars, it is noticable.

Just downgraded from 10 MTX to 8" kenwood in a Bazooka Bass Tube EL model. Thing sounds awesome. Got the straps in now so i dont have to worry about it flying in the back. Next is a NOS sticker on the tube which i painted up similar to tank. I think looks so far so good. yes and the back is a little dirty.

i just can not not have interior.. i like the fact that i have full interior and ac.. when people hollow out there cars for no real purpose reminds me of all the lil hondas rollin around here.. like i mean it would be understandable if your car was set up race ready with roll cage harness bar and all.. but just not having anything in the back personally looks tacky and you gain nothing from it.. but thats my opinion to each his own

Lol i tore my wiper off too, never used it and my rear window never really gets dirty enough to were I need to use it. If it does, i wipe it when I get gas, problem solved
I used a rubber cork from lowes though, was alot easier then trying to find out the part number to the honda piece.
