I finally managed to get the Mugen cover installed on a permanent basis.

I attended a car show this week-end and someone took these pictures.

I'll take more pictures of the entire car soon.

As you can see, I have clear JDM fogs in the front :D

sweet man just beautiful as always. Id steel that valve cover at the show myself. Leave a Kilroy drawing on the car someplace.

If your rockin the b series intake why do you still have the black vacuum box in the passenger side engine bay?

Looks clean enough to eat off from what I see. Nice

The blackbox is for the EGR dummy (so the ECU doesn't throw a code) and for the evap solenoid.

I'll probably get rid of it when I tune the ECU.

yum-diddelly-ummy :) And you fixed the breather tube with a quite subtle solution!
Good to see it still gets out for a spin every once in a while. And still super clean.

Yup, I still use the Accord. Not on a daily basis but it does get out for a spin when It's nice outside.

There's still stuff I want to do to it :D

I got another 3G to work on too now so finding time to work on both cars is getting tough.

yea I think I have an idea of what you mean :)

Btw. those jdm foglights, did you get a used set from NZ or can you still get them new from Honda?

carotman

I got them from Ebay, brand new. Someone in the Us was selling them. They're made by Stanley and are the same as the JDM fogs, just clear instead of yellow.

If someone in the States had these, this probably means that those lights were available somewhere at some point.

brand new, eh. Lucky bastard! :D Do you know the part numbers?

you can always get Bosch Pilot 150s (oh yea thanks for the info on that one Carot :) )

they are the same size, have bolts for the bracketry etc. Kinda pricey but they are awesome

you still running a pk/ph ecu? i have a 5 speed 85 gold top ecu for sale that doesnt have EGR etc etc. and all you got to do to make it work on a blacktop loom is swap 3 or 4 wires around in the plug i think.
i know i would like to see that gay black bocks gone lol.

The Bosch are way bigger than the Stanley lights I have.

The Stanley fit nicely in the fog housing and are mounted at an angle to fit with the car lines.

Here's what it looks like (sorry about the smashed bugs)

They're the same as the JDM fogs but clear. Anyone can check the part number on the yellow Stanley fogs?


The BOSCH 150 stand more in front of the bumper and sit square to the front of the car.

The fact that I got the Stanley from the United-States makes me wonder why Honda didn't use them in the first place. Maybe because the BOSCH are more universal and could fit all the cars.

You could ask Stanley if they still make those.

Did you ever figure out a non pain in the ass way to add oil to your car with the mugen valve cover?

Looking good Carot I agree with thegreatdane about the nice way to get the breather hose out the way you wanted.

I like the jdm lip too. I had to getto a jdm lip for mine but you cant tell it was chopped by me to the correct lengths. It was off a 89 Acura Legend 4dr.
