What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[ocbooger]

Hi! by chance you can post a full side view picture? I am very interested on one. (I like the Type R initially but I would like to wait for a couple of years before I start drilling on the car)

No drilling required, the dto spoiler uses tape. The Type R vortex one on top is from ABS Dynamics. Two big fins attach with bolt and tape, the small vortex generators use tape.

Last weekend I ceramic coated the entire car and rims with a new coating, DPC Shield. Took two days for two coats, looking forward to getting 1 1/2 out of this as you can see from the photo the car is really shinny. Water now cant fall off the car fast enough.

Today I opened the sunroof, saw the glare that made the nav screen unviewable, and then closed the sunroof.

Not a great day.

I could do without the sunroof. Even though I've had one in three out of my four cars so far, it still feels so unnecessary to me.

Last time I took the car to the dealer they messed with my seat position. Today I made a "don't muck with my seat switch". The two ends plug into the two fuse locations for the drivers seat (one for the recline the other for the slide). Flip the switch to disable the power seat controls before dropping the car off

Ha! I like it. Except the time that I made one of the service clerks sit in my car to hear a noise and his big fat gut pushed his belt buckle against the bottom of the wheel and scratched the leather. Of course he had no idea how it happened when I asked about it later.

I love my Civic. It’s like the Omega of sedans. Do yOOO agree?

Where did you get that wiring to plug into the fuse location ? Very clean !
I've been attempting to do a DIY to do what you've found. With a switchable fuse
you can do some interesting stuff !

For the connector I used this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/5x-Mini-TA...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

and I used a dremel tool with a cut off disk and cut off the angled side and top, then soldered an inline fuse holder to one side and 16 gauge wire to the other side.

An easier and cleaner but much more expensive alternative would be to use this: https://www.amazon.com/General-Tech...ocphy=9009737&hvtargid=pla-684313396552&psc=1

The second link would do it but ....... do you have a link for this : ( sorry to be such a pain ..... I appreciate your help ! )
I've tried searching for these ..... but, I don't know what they're called.

I used the dremel tool with cut off disk to cut down the fuse tap to this:

Then soldered an inline fuse holder to one side and 16 gauge wire to the other and used heat shrink tubing to cover the soldered joints.

Dude ! You've got talent !

I thought that was "Factory" made !!

I'll do what you did ....... I was using a fuse and soldering to the "tabs" .....I didn't think of using a fuse tap.

Carry on ...... !

If you were able to modify a fuse then modifying a fuse tap will be a piece of cake.
