So wheres the pics?
My fifth gen coupe build
- Thread starter young_
- Start date
Sorry to disappoint lol It was raining all day yesterday.
But here they are
I really love my valve cover. But there's the new plug wires and the clear distributor cap
Rotor spinning (looks really cool at night)
Cap would look a lot better without the black plastic piece that separates the rotor and the ignition coil. Can I just take that out?
Everything checks out with the exhaust EXCEPT the midpipe hangs WAYYY too low. Gonna cut the hangers and re-weld them.
I'll have more pictures of the exhaust after I fix it
Other than that let me know what you think!
Edit: Looking at these pictures makes me really want a wire tuck. Any easy starting points?

Man hit me up and I'll help you paint it. I'm living with Jess now so I ain't far. And yeah as far as wire tuck goes I really want to get rid of the sets of 3 wiring connectors on each of the strut towers.
Those things. There's another cluster just like it on the other side. I've read up a little and they're pretty simple to move. No splicing or anything like that.
Can't decide between Mugen or Type R front lip. Leaning towards Mugen.
Also tossing around the idea of some new mirrors. I know you know but everyone else may not, my passenger side mirror is held on the JB weld for plastics. Works pretty good actually, great product. But nevertheless, there's a decent crack down the side of it. Thinking about some Spoon style mirrors.
So now to add to the list..
-Spoon style mirrors
-Mugen front lip
-Black housing headlights
Thoughts? Comments? etc
Liquor and groceries, can never go wrong with that lol

This is true.
Also, I started painting my interior black. Got 400 grit sandpaper, Krylon fusion paint for plastics, and Krylon Primer. Just put the second coat of paint on the centerpiece. Coming along good but the paint's not wanting to stick all too good. I think it's because it's so damn cold outside. Gonna hit it again in the morning before work. But going to work without it in my car lol, gonna look ghetto AF.
Oh well. lol
Now you aint seen nothin' lol
My car is GUTTED. Only thing in there is the dash, headliner, and the door panels. No carpet, the rear seats gone, all the pillars, panels, etc. Sanding, priming, and painting. Right now.
I'll have some pics up tomorrow
(hopefully if it's not too cold)And by the way, just found out this epic windstorm destroyed my parents pool.
dude, your exhaust hangs almost as low as mine. Got it fixed yet?
I bought a full system (headers-back) I think I'm going to need a whole new cat back section welded on to fix mine though, because the muffler is already touching my bumper... if I just pulled the exhaust up by the hangers it would put the muffler crazy high... unless I just had it bent down, I guess.
Let me know when you get it fixed... like to see pics.

Yeah still haven't gotten around to it. It's not bad enough to bother me to spend the time on it.
My muffler's touching my rear lip too and it makes the back right of the bumper shake at red lights lol
Ghetto as hell, I know but it sounds good, looks good, and it's functional enough. lol
But yeah I think they try and make those kits TOO universal, so some trim models suffer. Let me know if you find any other fixes. Buddy of mine said he bent his hangers.
Looks good and it's still hangin on there. Might try it. lol
