Was there more work on your car than you anticipated? Did you find a bucket of wiring worms, find some secret hidden problems…..
The wiring was a mess from trying to convert it to obd1 years back, so ended up taking everything out and getting every discontinued cabin harness, and added some Rywire wiring to get it all situated.

Are there any unique mods on your car? Hyper-rare parts, custom made parts…
Discontinued zero1000 intake from Japan, full feels widebody (remixed to 2021) I did and make all the custom parts on my hatch, including carbon fiber camouflage roof, custom js style wing in lime carbon fiber (under) and 2×2 up top, shaved carbon hood cowl, fully re-shaped and shaved engine bay.89 Honda Civic Hatch Wing
