1995 4G Track Car Project

As suggested, this is the profile for my car, so I stop posting in my personal profile :-)

I'm a real novice at working on cars, other than some minor work I did on my '04 Civic. A friend and I are renting a barn for us to work and store our cars in - we're supposed to be moved in already, but previous tenant has yet to vacate....

What I've done so far -
  • Entire exhaust replaced with a stock exhaust
  • New set of Avon tyres (temporary)
  • Replaced motor and mechanism on driver's side electric window
  • Replaced solenoid on driver's side central locking
  • Had a Pioneer AVH-X2700BT double DIN stereo fitted
I've also bought a set of 17' wheels, which are currently get power coated (Anthracite) and got some Yokohama tyres to go on them. Also got a full set of EBC Yellowstuff pads.

Been buying a whole bunch of stuff on here and eBay, some of which I will use, some I may not.

Historic posts from personal profile page (only including those with pictures) -

I installed my dual dashcams today, and hooked them up to my Philips double DIN headunit, so that I can view them on the headunit, as well as the small screen of the dashcams' DVR unit

Dashcam unit, with it's plethora of wires tucked away, is sat in a mounting clip that is velcro'ed to the trim on side of the passenger footwell.

Front Camera -

The Dual camera system is the Koonlung K1S, which records 2 camera feeds onto a single SD Card.

Both cameras being displayed on head unit (controls on DVR unit allow me to switch to individual camera view)-

These cameras will be great on track days, as the camera feeds are time synced, so I will be able to easily make a Pictue in Picture video for playback, similar to the following I made in my Civic - [youtube]0ruwb5uCaMY[/youtube]

Took the old girl to the farm where the barn is, as I can at least work outside there, and that's where we're dumping all our stuff until the barn is available.

Gave her a clean first

Took out the rear seats, as they're pretty useless, and glad to see it's in such good condition under there. Also started removing trim in preparation for 5G sunroof install (this weekend hopefully).

I'm probably going to cover the rear seat and back rest with some carpetting (on velcro strips) to make it look tidy.

I also decided to go with the S2000 aerial instead of the half mast one . I think it looks better than the stock aerial.

Didn't realise you had a bonnet bra and sunroof visor! Rare things...

Once the 4WS to 2WS conversion is done, I was thinking of removing the metal bits outlined in red, as they just weem to be bolted on. Would this affect rigidity of the body noticeably / at all ?

You can remove that no problem. You will need to keep the parcel shelf in place though, as that provides strength for the rear glass.
