Built a custom tranny mount, seems to be effective!
Got a few niggles to now sort - exhaust heatshield is hanging down and scraping on EVERYTHING.
New exhaust rear section is knocking on rear control arms - very annoying.
the sleeves seem to be a lot bouncier now, as well as ride height has increased around 1/2 inch. Not overly fussed about the height but my steering geometry and ride have gone out the window. Need an alignment ASAP, the steering is pulling heavily to both sides occasionally.
Pics soon! As well as a Time-Lapse video of the swap

Are you talking about the heatshield for the catalytic converter? It's really only there to not set dry materials on fire underneath your car. The car will run perfectly fine without it. Plus, it prevents the actual cat from taking too much of an impact if it gets hit.Originally posted by CC1_Coupe View PostBuilt a custom tranny mount, seems to be effective!

WTF thats the first time I've seen somebody with a random ass flare in their car. That shit reminds me of back in the day when cats used to bolt up mini fire extinguishers to there pillars like a bunch of dumbasses.
And thats a hella bright ass dome light!

Lol, installing a flare and flare holder isn't random? I've never seen anybody do some shit like that before. IDK, I guess its a European thing.Originally posted by CC1_Coupe View Post

I see! Maybe it is a European thing. Do your Jap Imports not have flares in them? It was fairly "last year" to be fair, I've since used the Flare in a drunken stupor at this years Japanese Auto Extravaganza, and wouldn't put another in, I'm not really looking for the "JDM" touches any more. That said, they still sell over here for £30-£50 a go, so some people must still want them!
I think it was the long exposure in that photograph making my interior light look so bright, it's fairly normal "brightness" as far as I know.
Coming next - Custom rear lip (You'll love it, or you'll flame me)

Hell no we don't have flares in the car, lol. Like I mentioned in the first post, cats here used to bolt small fire extinguishers to their driver's side pillars. Real race car driver had them for safety purposes just in case their shit caught on fire but then all of a sudden its like "Damn, I should put one of those in my busted ass Honda Civic and I will be a racecar driver too!" Fucking funny ass shit.Originally posted by CC1_Coupe View Post
But now that you've brought flares to light I am quite sure people here are going to start installing them in their cars, lol.Comment

people have been putting flares in their cars for a good while. I think it's mostly a euro thing. People in the us normally carry those little orange triangles instead
I wish I could trade my heart for an extra liver, just so I can drink more and care less.Comment

Really because I've never seen anybody do that, unless it was just some flare in the glovebox or some shit like that.Originally posted by bassrock234 View Post
I've never seen a flare holder bolted up and a flare in it. I didn't even know they made flare holders for cars, unless it was semi or ambulance or something.Comment

I'm not sure what the point was of posting those pics. I know they exist, the OP has one.
I live in the US. That shit don't exist out here unless you put one in yourself. Furthermore, the OP lives in some other country and your pics are clearly not from the US either.Comment

just saying it's oem in some cars in other parts of the world. It has existed for some time, and isnt usually some "fire extinguisher race car" modLast edited by bassrock234; 11-25-2012, 11:33 PM.

Not sure what exactly you are trying to prove here. All I was saying was I've never seen them in a car before, most because I live in America and they don't have them here.
And I never said it was a "fire extinguisher race car" mod... I said it reminded me of when people used to do that. And the fire extinguisher served a purpose in race cars. Just like this I'm sure serves a purpose in the cars they are installed in. But like I said, I'm sure somebody is going put one of these in their car and make it look like they might need it for something. Posers.
Just something else to add to the long list of JDM bullshit.Comment
