I'm trying to finish my civic before I can start on my Mazda. I thought I would share a little bit. Just got past a hurdle with getting the trunk lid to function with actuators. (Please don't call it a pop trunk unless you are being sarcastic) pop trunk sounds gay, I cut everything out of the trunk and starting over with it. This will be the third time I've revamped the inside of the trunk with this car. I like the actuator idea because the trunk latch can be shaved and you have a little cleaner look. I still have to do some cleanup on the welds and add a little bracing. The wiring inside the trunk is messy as well. Also on the list is;
-adding a double din sized head unit for the stereo.
-The climate control is getting relocated to inside the glove box.
-Rear disc brakes along with upgraded rotors all around.
-Realistic flames in blue and green with a new clear coat.
-tune up and smog.
Now onto the pictures.
These are from past shows.
This is the current project state.
