Eh its getting there. If my daughter is good and hangs with mom and her grandma today I should be able to get most of all the interior put back in (well the front half anyways.) Its getting there but slowly...this florida heat is a pain to deal with

[ilovemyrex]

good luck

[Hocker]

I got quite a bit done and finally got a buyer for the full race bar. i will be placing my order for the ktuned bar once that money arrives. Other then that its just a process of reassembly but Im very happy right now. I just wish this florida heat/rain would simma down so I can work in a peaceful enviroment!

I will post some pictures in a couple days when I can get back out there.

The pod itself isnt anything special and has no markings at all, it looks the exact same as other 3 gauge pods and probly is. I know Mugen has had other companies supply some items for them like gauge pods. The pod is pretty generic which is why it seems to work on the EF dash easily and why I kept it there lol.

I did cut a hole into the pod due to having to run wires and Im not drilling a hole in the CF dash.

wow, so much CF in there.
Please, say you are not keeping that steering wheel!

[Hocker]

I am. Honestly I've gotten hell for the blue corbeaus too but really I like blue and the feel on the seats and wheel are exactly what I wanted. I needed contrast in color. I had black and/or black/grey/cf for so many years and it just burnt me out. I needed another color and i figured blue is my favorite so its sticking.

[89civicracer]

Picture Update.
I know my updates probly suck but I try. I never realized how busy one can be with a 1yr old baby girl and family chores to keep up with.
I finally got my bolts in as I said before and I was excited. I did previously have the Full Race bar on my car but its problem was that it ran the radius arms right in the way of the Alt. Now for some thats not an issue because they wont use the Ktuned Alt Relocation kit but for me the avg joe, it was.
I am fairly skillful I would think and I don't have access to a welder or anything fancy. So if it can't bolt up or cant work with a little hammering then I simply can't do it. For me I wanted parts that were simple for me especially in the long run since I wanted to be able to work on everything myself and if anythign EVER broke I wanted to be able to fix it myself instead of relying on a shop to make or do the work for me.
I found the Ktuned bar impressive to me. It does have a differant design than the full race but I did like how the Ktuned bar cleared everything fine and gave me room to work also it had a tighter fit where the tow hook bolts went. (again im not sure if my frame/car caused that or not) But it wasn't a cheap piece like a lot of people Ive heard mention it to be. It was actually just as nice as the full race bar except it gave clearance which is what I wanted and needed. As dumb as it may be I also liked the silver radius arms vs the gold ones of the full race also. I like for things to blend and not add new colors to my project.
Either way Im very very happy with this product and now I can actually move past the traction bar issues I had and get this puppy going!!! Here are some pictures I snapped last night once I got home.




And here is just a random shop of my interior that Im still working on again. Custom CF dash (no damn glare issues here in florida(its been on another crx I drove for months) with Mugen gauges, edm gauge cluster, mugen shift knob, custom cf center console and Buddy club short shifter.
