I know someone whose partner did that with engine oil. Apparently it took 5 x 4 litre containers to fill. Spectacular fail. Unsurprisingly, engine was unrepairable.

    Old mate did that with his 89 Civic.

    All it did was blow smoke heavily for a day or so.

      Only if you can be bothered adding it. Quite often leave them out on purpose.

        Been upgrading sound system lately, got a new 5channel JLAudio Amp 700/5 and a new high SQ import Powerbass sub.

        Tidied up the boot a fair bit and probably 200% upgrade in sound..

        Before: Big Dirty 4 channel and monoblock
        Image

        After: One small clean 5 channel with more power than the two

          Thanks Dwayne.

          Looking for a decent set of 6.5" splits now to complete the build.

          By the way...

          Any chance u could hunt around in your shed for a full set of mint interior panels? :)

            - Both sides rear seat arm rest
            - Upper rear panels (where clothes hooks are)
            - Door cards (ones with tweeter holes would be sick)
            - glovebox
            - center console lid
            - floor console
            - center console
            - sill scuff panels
            - foot scuff panels (the one where flare goes, but both sides)

            Everything on mine is scratched or faded and really makes the car feel like a PIECE OF sh*t when inside lol
