Received my PWJDM power chamber intake in the mail yesterday. This thing is so light, its like your holding a piece of paper! Quality of the carbon fiber looks to be pretty nice, filter isn't too bad. Hardware you get is junk, but no surprise there. It gets the job done though.
Here's a few horrible cell pics. Wasn't planning on putting it on yet, but I was bored after work.
Exhaust will be here Friday. Going to put it on Friday night probably. Hopefully going to drive the car (open header)up the road to my buddy's house with a lift.

Wow, just got done going back through all 16 pages of this build. More power to you bro. Pretty much a ground up build, and for your first time at that. Cant wait to see the finished product. At least your putting on quality and functional parts, unlike the kids that half-ass and hack their running civic together. BIG PROPS
thanks dude..hopefully some updates this weekend!
haha thanks man. tryin the best i can. still have plenty to do, just getting it running and drivable.Wow, just got done going back through all 16 pages of this build. More power to you bro.

small update today. exhaust should be here tomorrow.
ordered some small random parts from work yesterday and got them today
-firewall plug for ac
-needed headlight bulbs and those rubber grommets for the headlight bulbs, got those.
-99-00 top si radi hose. want to replace the temporary crappy one i used to get the car started.
-fuel line clips and covers. if you remember i redid all my fuel and brake lines, which are still kinda hanging down. mostly everything broke, i probably could of reused the covers but it was only like 25 bucks for new ones.
-99-00 si throttle cable. i have some random throttle cable, it might be the factory cx cable, its way too long and im not comfortable running it..i kinda had to rig it.
and lastly found a new donut gasket, springs and spring bolts laying around the shop for the exhaust. wooo!!
ninja edit: also super psyched. called the insurence co today to see how much its gonna be to get this thing on the road in march or april. gonna run it through the summer then gonna be in the garage for 90 days throughout the winter. a little less than $300! cant complain with that.
for shits and gigs, got a quote on how much a rsx type s would be....$2,000! haha maybe in another year or two lol.
