Actually it started on wednesday evening. Im on my way home from work, speedo goes nuts, pegging out and finally quits. ( it wasnt the cable :lol: ) Well lost the speedo, then the car runs like crap 
Fast forward to Friday and its looking good. I get off from work at 1pm instead of 5pm. Boss gives me a $100 cash bonus for being awesome 8) I head to the junkyard to buy a new cluster. No crx's there, aside from a customers that was burnt up I said screw it and bought a 95 teg ls cluster with the wires.
They didnt have any VSS that i could get so i was going to put the cluster swap on hold for a few days until they got me one. I left and remembered a friend put a new tranny in his civic so he should have a vss right? I go to his work, found out the car was totalled a week ago. Dammniitt!.....then he says the car is at Cuz's ( a body shop in town ) you can have whatever you want off of it, I got all i wanted out of it :shock:
I run home grab my tools and 3 steelies that wont hold air due to rust and the spare from the wifes civic. I make it to the body shop and there it sits, door smashed in bad, T-bone ouch! Anyway he left his 17's on it and was going to send them to the junkyard :shock:
I grabbed my vss and the goofy dx short ram intake he had on it. Found a few bucks in change and some new lug nuts.
Now back to the wheels, they had 2 different sets of lugs on them, 2 different wheel keys. Pretty good idea right? Well if he hadnt left both wheel keys in the damned glove box! :rolleyes1: So i take 3 of the 4 wheels off and swap for the steelies. Take the 4th wheel off and go to put the donut on it.....it was the donut from the old prelude I pulled my h22 from :x I wasnt about to leave with 3 wheels so i grabbed my trusty but small sledge hammer and knock out 3 of the 4 wheel studs. Bolted that prelude donut to the civic with one stud and got the hell out of there before the tow truck could show up.
Got my cluster in today just need to clean up the wiring. Its been a good few days.
