I used to hate hondas with a passion. But for the last few days ive been looking for another car, and I have got a civic hatch at the top of my list. I like what you've done so far on yours.

did a little more deadening last night after the series. didnt take any pics tho since it was very little that i did. the plan is to pull the passenger seat tonight and deaden under there to be ready to start running the ground and power runs tonight and over the weekend.

Do you guys think a single run of the ground and power will be enough or should i dbl up? the runs will not be very long it will be from the front battery to the fuse holders that will be either right under or right beyond the rear passenger seat. the wire will be knu kca 0 gauge.

if you got the wire, might as well double up on it. instead of having to do it again later. good thing they are only 13' or so runs

I have a 90 model,and it looks like a POS, but it runs good, and i have been getting 35-41 mpg on the gas,and thats at 75mph.Its a 1.5ltr,I recommend changing that PVC valve,or it will act as if its missing,and look into getting that black module in the fuse panel,as they tend to go bad,and the car wont start from time to time.I spent a crap load till I discovered it.and be sure if you do a motor swap,to get the ECU with it??? I have the 5speed,and it has 140K original on it, but it does fine for daily driving and cheap on gas man.If you get a cold air intake,make sure you get that bypass too in to keep the water from entering the throttle body,as it will shut you dont just hitting a puddle of water..like $50 or so??Fun little cars though!!! I just need a drivers side door,and another paint job,really,and it will be fine.Best thing..its paid for,and no monthly car pmt with that bs interest tagged on.I will drive it till it dies..LOL:repsthrs:

did you fuse right off the front battery and before the rears???
