Ten months of work finally pays off I enjoy working on my own vehicles but by far the best part is finishing up.

Getting ready for the test drive While the car may not be on the road yet, it’s come quite a bit closer to getting there.

Creating Time (literally!)

Finishing things up With the weather warming up it’s been making me miss the civic quite a bit.

Implementing a Thread-Safe Queue One of the most useful data structures when it comes to multi-threading is the queue.

Playing Around at the Bit Level This weeks adventure has been exploring object serialization.

Connecting the Pieces It’s easy to forget just how many parts you’ve removed until it comes time to put them all back together.

Getting Closer.

Restoring the transmission My girlfriend and I went on a road trip to Vermont to pick up this transmission.

Building Up the Network Logic While this week may not have much to show for it has built a solid foundation for networking.

New Transmission Mount Installed Progress wise not too much more has been done on the Civic this week.

Wrapping it up It’s funny, you never realize how many things are missing until you try to finish up your project.

I’m in the middle of swapping a B20B into my 1993 civic, and I had to buy (just about) every bolt / nut on the engine and transmission since I was missing so many.

I like projects And I’m the kind of person that can’t leave a car alone.

Stepping back into Networking These past few months I’ve been on a tangent that wasn’t exactly planned.

Sometimes we want code that can run outside of Unity and that can make things tricky when it comes to writing text to console.

Creating new gameobjects during runtime can be a costly operation.

TL;DR Full algorithm is at the bottom.

Now that I’m back at college it’s been hard to make progress on the Civic.

I’ve been quite busy working on the Civic in the past month.

The transmission in the Civic was a good deal for the price of $100, but it had a nasty grind anytime you shifted into 3rd gear above 3k RPM.

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a fan of Honda.

I’ve been fairly quiet since I’ve just been enjoying the car.

The fog lights were a little too squarish for my taste so I made some custom overlays to give them a slight “curve”.

With a stock exhaust the car was fairly quiet.

The RL looks nice but a luxury sedan should really have some tint to it.

Made a little more progress on the tablet.

In 2002 the RL came with clear corner tail lights.

For 1999 the RL was pretty advanced.

The projector retrofit is finally coming to an end.

I decided to re add the defusers over the blinkers.

I like doing little things to fix things up.

I’ve decided to do a projector retrofit.

I bought my first car off my Grandmother.
