@kazmi

Nice detailed work u r putting into ur car..
But,there r some points which i would like to high light.
1 - the roof and poshish color,u choose a dark color.I think it's a bad idea,especially for lhr,summer has almost arrived and it will get hotter with every passing day.So dark color's absorb heat.and ur AC will have to work extra hard to cool her off.
2 - I guess u have used ragzin in poshish.Again not a gud idea considering lahore's summer.
3 - I have noticed that civic doesn't get must hot while standing in direct sunlight during summer.So If i were u i would have gone for civic's roof top.

@TM

sir g...they just use detergent and wash it with brush.Nothing hi-fi science in it.I have done it myself.

The roof is a Honda's roof bro, if you see the pictures it is already covered with layer 1 to protect it from heat, secondly the material i used for the roof is a reflective black, it wouldn't absorb, thirdly, this matt finish Ragzin poshish is not the typical ragzin type. there are alot of after market cloths available in market so i got myself one that isn't a heat absorber as the regular ragzin are... Thirdly my previous cars have had this same quality ragzin poshish which never caused any heating issue. fourthly the car is undergoing restoration, after six months when the car is fully restored from its body and engine, i would go for getting the car fabricated from foam tops just as the original seats... since it is expensive bro and i still have a long way to go, i didnt opt for it right now...

O by the way, the Speed cable needle was dead... We opened the meter and got it fixed up.... Found a damaged magnet that was making the car act as if cruise control was in it... Dad replaced it off so i guess no more cruise control .. the box in the car beneath i am wondering is some other off market equipment the guy had in this car..

Ill insha Allah upload the video of the RPM all working and squeaky clean by tommorow...

imtishal (imtishal) 2011-03-31 07:07:02 +0500 #155

Hmmm..So no cruise control..
what do u mean by 'the box in the car beneath'??

bango (bango) 2011-03-31 07:14:40 +0500 #156

If it is a small box with a number of knobs on it, then its a tuneable horn which were very popular at that time especially with Honda owners.

I had one under my dashboard as well and wondered for a while before I found out it what it was.

Hello all, on 5th April im going to get my cars a new set of wheels and rims...

I was preferring the low profile stuff with a 15'' rim size... But on investigation i unveiled some pak-wheelers claiming that low profile tyres aren't to good for Paki roads, they get bubble problems and the tyre worn out issues are high...

Is it a fact? Plus i have original honda suspensions, will they handle the load? i need some help from you people because if low profile tyres create issues than i will restore the car to it's new original wheel cap with standard 13'' rim which i hate myself...

Yea bro, it has some knobs, im of on 5th and 6th so then im taking the car to workshop to fix up the oil base pan leakage and the steering fluid leakage and noise issue..... Ill then rip the box out and check with my uncle what it really is....
