    Save EVERYTHING your taking off (like the sound deadening, AC comp, and blower ect...) and weigh it so you can see how much exactly you shaved off your wagon. :wink:

    So heres a little older pic i didnt post. Took out the whole wiring harness so now theres only the steering column and pedal assembly on the car.

    Then i used Aircraft Remover on the whole engine bay to strip it of all paint.

    Ok so i REALLY need some help ASAP! I need a new firewall and engine harness. My questions are, would any EF Harness work on our wagons, and also would an RT4WD wiring harness work on my 2WD? PLZ! ASAP!
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    NO, a stock MPFI engine harness won't work on a DPFI car. It's far easier to convert a DPFI harness. now, the easiest way to convert is to have a full Si or RT mpfi harness to scavenge parts from.

    YES, any 4thgen civic dpfi harness will work (but will have to be converted for mpfi). Try to find a harness from a 5spd car, the auto ones don't have the wiring for the reverse lights.

    Above is just concerning engine harnesses. You said firewall harness, are you talking about the whole dash harness?

    Just ordered all the rest of my EARL's fittings and stainless steel lines for my brakeline tuck. PICS COMIN SOON!
  • JakerJaker familEE
    Are those mirrors spec'd for another Civic model or are they specific to the Wagon? Could you also measure the width and height of the actual mirror glass? I think it's 5.5" wide, but how high is it?

    Thanks,

    Jacques

    ya they're actually for a EG 92-95 civic. But i did some test fitting with it before i bought it off a friend and it fits REALLY good. I'm just going to add a little bit of rubber mirror trim around the edging to fill in the little bit of gap like how OEM mirrors are. Then just drill new holes on the wagon for the screws from the mirror to fit and its gonna look perfect 8)
  • JakerJaker familEE
    Thanks for that. When you get a sec, could you throw a ruler or tape measure against the actual mirror glass and let me know how tall/high and wide the glass is. I'm building my car to a specific set of rules, and one of the rules says that any side view mirror can be used, as long as the glass is at least 15 sq/in.

    Thanks,

    Jacques
