Civic EX

September 26th, 2006 No comments

The car is now street legal. Tag, inspection, and insurance all acquired. Now I have the joy of teaching Wes how to drive a “stick.” He has been practicing in the driveway learning how to use the clutch and is getting better. We’re headed out tonight to drive around town and get more practice.

It turns out the horn works a little too well. It seems the horn buttons on the steering wheel are “always-on.” I could not get it to stop blowing once I replaced the horn itself. I eventually ran a bypass in-line with the power source and connected a momentary switch. I noticed that one of the fan belts is wearing pretty bad so I purchased replacements and will hopefully have time this weekend to work on them.
