    Re: engine clean up

    i think it would look better polished, but your engine IS looking ALOT better

    oh and newb question, but are those 8mm nuts on the valve cover the only thing holding it on?

    Re: engine clean up

    Hey just to let you know that paint will not last on the intake....more than likely it will chip...almost to the point where it will get angry and chip even if you caress it.

    EDIT: BUT You car is looking a lot better Blue ftl, Clean and not ricey engine bay ftmfw.

    EDIT 2: Oh btw you need an exhaust manifold bolt. Middle top.

    Thumbs up Re: engine clean up

    Lookin good! Are the headlight surrounds still white? You really should go back to black on those. Kinda makes your car look like an albino. You know how their eyelashes are white so all you really see is eyeball.....creepy.
    Good work though dude, its coming along nicely.

    Re: engine clean up

    Nice work, looks good. That old blue cover was not working, as everyone says it just had ford written all over it lol, and as forrest89sei said, make sure to sand off the paint so that Honda symbol can shine ^^

    what can i say cah, other than it looks much better. Im glad to see you turn your car around, slowly but surely. I will say that you still need to fix your suspension though.
