That must have felt good. Car looks great. I had my maiden run a couple of weeks ago (just a little less legally than you did it).

Too bad you didn't get 075 RPG.

Funny you commented on this. As I was driving down there I was thinking I should have sent you a message to meet up. Yes it was last weekend in Mill Bay.
Thanks everyone for the comments, It really does feel good to take the car out for nice day drives. I have discovered though how a two speed Hondamatic is more an in town, run around kinda car

Oh well I'm still enjoying the cruising and getting the thumbs up from passing motorists.

Well I did free up a nice spot to start working and preping the civic yesterday so hopefully I will get it moved over and start the suspension swap this weekend.

Islander,

What kind of set-up do you have going for your windshield fluid reservoir? Details please (i.e. where did you acquire it?)

The original set up had the washer bag that hung over the battery. I wasn't into covering my brand new optima battery, so I took the washer bottel and bracket out of a 78' civic and just extended the wires to the other side of the engine bey. The electrical conector was the same, so it was very simple.
