Not really an update. Ordered four new speakers so I can actually enjoy driving without my ears bleeding. Also, I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my fat fives. Gunmetal or polished? I'm ordering a new head unit next week, and then next is might start putting the money away for my coils I'm set on racelands. Not sure what the difference is between the regular ones and the ultimos. Things are coming along nicely so far. Car runs pretty nicely now after I got done with all that maintenance work I got done. I've got a big list still of things lefft to do but I'm checking them off one by one. It's coming along.

go ultimos. they run higher spring rates and the struts are better. they go lower and ride a little better IMO

Sweet, that's what I shall get then.




Progress is always good.

I vote polished on the fat fives.
Yeah, I'm thinking that too. The pictures I was looking at, the paint never seems to look right on them.

Last weekend I ordered myself an early birthday present (November 18th is my birthday) since I have been without a decent sound system since it went away with my last integra. So, this is what I bought. Still need to order a new head unit as the JVC I have now probably won't do as well.






I got an exceptional deal on these. Kenwood wants $79.99 for just one paid of them through their website or dealers such as best buy. I bought these on amazon brand new for $38 for one pair. I bought all four for less than the price of two through Kenwood, and because I have a student membership at amazon, I got two day free shipping. I'm extremely happy and can't wait to put these in tomorrow. Coils are coming February-April next year so keep looking out for that.

Painted my valve cover.




My friend was painting his emblems.


Stripper eating through the paint





Its like waiting for paint to dry.


And finished



I'm not sure if I wanna sand the lettering down or my friend suggested painting the lettering black to stand out.

There isn't really any runs, just a bunch of dirt and leftover crap from the stripper that got on the cover when my friend painted over it but it doesn't bother me. It looks good in person though.

I cleaned it off completely. Hosed it down. It was leftover paint most likely. Still looks damn good for being painted in 50 degree weather.

Good choice. Exedy makes great clutches. I recommend a new flywheel or having yours resurfaced when you do the clutch.

Oh believe me, the flywheel will be resurfaced. I would have bought a new one if I could afford it.
