howd you paint the intake a spark plug cover like that?

 

[dj_hallucn8]

Nice looking ride there, great progress, love your bay & valve cover.

 

[civicSIcoupe]

painted the valve cover and strut bar today, and picked up a skunk2 shift knob. might do a mini wire tuck in the bay, well at least the 2 harness' going along the strut towers to the headlights

 

[dj_hallucn8]

Damn, looks even better now, love that color.

 

[civicSIcoupe]

thanks man, i wanna clean up the bay a lot more though, debating getting rid of my cruise control, but unsure because its handy to have.

 

[Robin...]

If its your DD, i would keep it...

 

[civicSIcoupe]

its my dd in the summer, but i dont use it often unless i go on a long trip

 

[Robin...]

Then its gonna be a tough decision...xD

 

[civicSIcoupe]

true, maybe i will try and tuck it under a fender or something, i'll probably get rid of it though..

 

[dj_hallucn8]

I would keep it, makes driving a lot easier for long trips, never know when you may need it.

 

[RoidBear]

I took our my CC and I gotta say some times I miss it on long trips but i manage. the engine bay looks a lot cleaner without it

 

[civicSIcoupe]

i decided to keep it, like the option of having it

 

[act440]

i decided to keep it, like the option of having it

[dj_hallucn8]

[civicSIcoupe]

cleaned up the bay a little more but have some plans for it this winter since this is the first year i am storing it:
Pull the motor and tranny
swap out the trans for a fresh one hopefully lsd
put in an act stage 1 6 puck clutch kit
clean and paint the motor and trans a fresh silver
swap out the looped ps rack for a manual one
new sway bar bushings and links
pick up some hasport billet mounts
clean everything in the bay thoroughly and possibly paint it
minor wire tuck if i feel like doing it LOL, at the least, re tape and loom the harness's in the bay
POSSIBLY put in a type r IF i can find one for an ok price.

 

[Robin...]
