Well if I remove mine, the battery tray thing is still welded to the frame and it's like teal or something becaue that's what color my car used to be.

well unless someone welded it in then the tray should be held in by bolts at the bottom of the tray. mine where covered in dirt and cr*p.

Haha I know. You should have seen the crap I had to go through to remove my a/c from the firwall with it still there.lol The bolts are missing and it is welded now. Stupid people. But I'll probably just bust them off whenever I decide to do it.

here is another pic of my trunk, it shows the battery relocate a little better.


and here are the pics of what i had the fun of doing at 2 a.m. this morning





and here is the problem i had with my transmission

on the left you can see how the bearing is supposed to look and in the cup is how it was in my transmission

Holy Balls! That looks like a mess. I need to put a new 2nd gear synchro on. How hard do you think it would be for a first timer?

this was actually my first time splitting a trany casing. it is easier then people make it out to be. you might need some help from a shop so be prepared for some extra costs.

as you can see some very bad things can be found when you split the casing

here is the thread i used as a 2nd bible with my haynes manual

Oh man. That looks so confusing.lol

Thats pretty bad ass. loove the delete and looks sexy. I have yet to figure out what the battery relocate is for? any help?

I've heard a bunch of different reasons. Cleanin up the engine bay; Closer to audio system; better weight distribution.

Hmm interesting. Well i don't really see a need if thats all but thanks for the info

badsol what was your reason?

it may seem a little complicated but its really simple if you take your time

well thayne is right its to free up space under the hood and for better weight distrobution (for auto x).

Along wih deleting the antenna i have done a few more exterior mods.

my carbon fiber gas door and door handles... and yes they are real and they where expensive


i also re-instaled my oem rear spoiler (i took it off when i put on the cf trunk)


i also tinted the windows to 2.5% light vis (legal limit in alaska is 75%)

sweet ass gas door man

I painted a few things...










what do you guys think about the new color?

Yeah i like the color and looks good... UHHH 2.5% CAN YOU EVEN SEEE!!!!

I think the lowest we have around here or at least of what i have heard of is 5% and thats freakin dark. You might as well paint your windows black hahaha

lol. yeah, i love it. its limo tint...

Just don't drive at night cuz i would think your really screwwed haha. How long do your days last in the summer?

Well the sun went down at around midnight, then came up at 4.

So night is pretty short

Yeah i would say thats pretty short. I bet the days are pretty productive tho. Does anything start opening around then?

Only place that is affected by the extra sunlight is the gun range. In summer they stay open til the sun goes down... Which is awesome for someone like me who likes to shoot his .45 whenever he can

I was just looking at your pics again and i hope you plan on wash/painting it once your done cuz the CF kinda looks out of place cuz its so nice and everything else is dirty and what not.

Ohh idk if you have noticed but there is SOO much CF stuff you can get for the Sol. Personally i only like the CF hood but i have also kinda grown a liking for the CF door sill covers. I think it would look pretty sexy.

But no joke. here is the list of what i have found
-CF Front lip.
-CF Hood.
-CF Cardinals (kinda universal).
-CF Targa top.
-CF Door sills.
-CF Door handles.
-CF style boot/shift knob.
-CF Third brake light/side strut things (you get the point).
-CF Gas tank lid.
-CF Trunk lid.
-CF License plate garnish.

ANND im pretty sure thats it. at least that is everything i have found for it.

damn i wish there was that much stuff for my accord

Yeah its a freaking lot! Maybe badsol will find some more CF he likes

(05-22-2009 01:16 AM)ImHeysus Wrote:  Yeah its a freaking lot! Maybe badsol will find some more CF he likes

my cf wish list includes:

hood, roof, fenders, rear sails (aka 3rd brake light pieces), side mirrors, and rear licensce plate garnish...

its soo pricey though...

still i wish that there was more for my accord im going to do trunk hood and im contimplating the doors

it could be worse, you could have a dsm... they make a cf hood only for most of those. lol

lol damn poor tinktink
