New to the forums - Wax_Hands

[Wax_Hands]

Hows it going everyone, hope I can make a nice addition to the forums. I have been a Honda-head for many years now. I have owned four Civic's so far. Currently in my line up is:

1978 Honda Civic 1200
2000 Honda Civic Si
2007 Honda Civic EX

Currently I am on engine setup number 4 on the Si. Currrent configuration is top secret but I will unveil its build as soon as I get some dyno time. Not only that I don't have the cams I really want yet for it. I will tell you though that they are made from Brian Crower. First I have to pull the engine again because it is leaking oil at the Oil Pressure Sending unit. I believe it may have a small fissure crack there. Pretty common actually.

So gonna pull the motor some time this week and weld up the hole completely. I have a sandwich plate and both oil pressure senders in it at the moment. One is for the gauge, some people don't believe the gauge is worth while since there is a dummy light but I like to be informed if pressure drops even a few pounds.

I will post some pictures at a later time when things are wrapped up and the car is painted. Actually I might leave the door and fender just etch primed up to give it that POS sleeper effect. Really depends on the mood I suppose.

Well other than the car I am a certified technician who got out of the automotive field due to the economy. Got tire if the bitchy public so I am finishing my degree in IT. IT has always been another passion of mine since high school over a decade ago when i started dual enrollment with CISCO networks.

So i hope I can be of some help to the forums. I will probably be hanging out in the tech sections most of all.

Forgot to mention my current other project other than loose ends on the Civic is a JDM Navigation unit. A great deal of helpful information from .saint the site admin has given me great insight on how to go about installing it. I am going to start make the harness tomorrow as I now know what I am looking at as to where the plugs go to.

That is actually what brought me here to theJDM. http://www.thejdm.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5049

So as I start the install i will be making a new HOW-TO on how to get this bad boy installed and I will try to do a wire by wire installation for you all. Also I have hypothetically figured out a way to bypass the tape deck to enable full audio. We shall see and hopefully tomorrow will be a great day for myself and the forum. Also I may have a work around for the US maps issue as well. So cross your fingers!
