    So I can take the hood off quickly? Just ease of use, especially with all the trouble shooting I'll be doing after the swap.

        What more is there left to put in? Carpet is out for cage, as are rear seats(As well as the temporary harness mounting points). The headliner was falling down, and it looks like ill be welding the sunroof up and taking all the brackets/ lines out as well. But thanks for the comment.

            Thanks! haha I think I'm taking them off soon though. I did it with scraps I had, but that combined with the Toms fabric is starting to look super trendy.

            And you do? Good. Thought I was the only one. iPod control never works, and when it does it takes years to get to the artist I want. So I end up just unplugging it and selecting stuff manually.

              Oh, and picked up a winter beater today, 92' Accord ex. Power everything, super nice sound system done professionally, 5spd(worst thing in the world). Oh, and a mint blue interior Please excuse the camera pics, it was windy.

                Yeah I just bought one of those universal iPod holders you mount with the double sided tape and I threaded my iPod cable throughout the HVAC and it sits nicely so I can choose stuff by hand. Those knobs on the headunit suck major ass.

                  Get a Pioneer head unit, you will never look back =)

                  Edit: I noticed the winter car, I used to have a 92 Accord myself a few years back. They are one amazing winter car, great in the snow etc. I have never had a fault with Hondas, well made cars and easy to get parts/fix. I plan on getting another 90s Hatch in the near future. If you have any issues with it shoot me a PM, I pretty much rebuilt mine before I sold it a year later.

                    Sweet! I will definitely do so. Is the clutch/ gas normally very vague? I can't tell if somethings wrong or I'm just used to a grabby race clutch.

                      Normal wear and tear of a clutch. Do a quick test of trying a burnout in 3rd gear. If it stalls out your're fine.

                        Pretty sure that's normal. Every Honda/Acura I've ever driven had very vague/mushy clutches.

                          Yeah was just curious. I know I'm accustomed to the race clutch I have in the e30, but even the other manuals I've driven haven't been this bad haha. Other than that its great, ill get some interior and sound system pics up soon. And this means the e30 teardown begins this weekend!

                            BMWs tend to have "heavy" clutches. Most other manufacturers like to have light clutches. Most subarus seem to be decent though.

                            Mustangs are just laughable.

                              Good thing I didn't get a mustang But I'm bummed I'm not going to be making it to 100 drifters of December, didn't realize how cheap it was.
