Here's a picture of one of my latest add-ons, the Sport-Comp from Autometer.

For our model of civics(96-97 ONLY!!!) the tach wire needed to be tapped from the "coiless distributor" is the blue one pictured below.

Here's some pics of the tach, I like it a lot, but the shift light is very bright!,and sometimes gets annoying.

One of the most interesting modifications that I have done has made very many people jealous. I recently attended the Options Auto Salon one day summer sale, and I bought the above pictured Raybrig corner lamp bulbs, which claimed to be brighter Japanese bulbs. To my delight, these bulbs were actually brighter than the stock corner bulbs, and still signaled even brighter!Warning though, the picture on this page makes the lights seem birighter than they really are. The real brightness of the bulbs is only slightly brighter than stock. This solved the problem of having clear corner lamps that weren't nearly as bright as the headlights. Most people would just switch the wires to the corner bulbs, causing the parking light to be on the high filament, creating a high intensity light, even slightly brighter than the headlights. This works, but has several drawbacks, which are the fact that you lose signaling ability at night, as it is drowned out by the bright filament. The other pitfall happens later, when the bulb holder starts to melt out of shape due to the prolonged heat exposure from the bright filament being active constantly at night. Buy these bulbs, and you will have the best of both worlds. They cost $8 each, but its well worth it.

check out the results below!!See, its hard to distinguish the corner lamps, as they are almost equally as bright as the headlights. At that same sale, I bought my factory foglights, which many people, to my surprise, didn't even know existed. They cost about $150, and were so easy to install, as they installed directly into the stock wiring harness. I highly recommend these.Looks nice, huh?

 

The kit included detailed instructions for left and right handed civics, as well as the factory style button.

 

The first modification to my car's interior came just after the switching of the hubcaps.I added one of the more popular upgrades of all, the classic sports shift knob.The particular model of choice was employed on my previous car, and fit even nice into my new civic. It is a Razo shift knob. Razo pedals quickly followed, these too donated from my earlier car.

Just recently, I replaced my Razo knob with the Momo Super Anatomic, which allowed me to chop my shift stick in half, so now my shift knob sits very low, as opposed to the super high stock setup pictured above. Compare for yourself! The razo knob needs a threaded shifter, whereas the Momo allows you to connect it to any stick, threads or no threads, since it is fastened onto the stick via 3-allen screws in the lower part of the knob.

Air Fresheners........

Everyone's all-time favorite, the air freshener. My prerogative was to wait until the "new car" smell slowly wore off, before I got my first airfreshener. I chose the Carmate version of the "squash" scented freshener. It smells really good, even though it smells nothing like squash.
