Dude, you are doing badass on your ride. What are you using to take paint/grime/what ever off?

Thanks man I appreciate that. As far as removing paint/grime do you mean in the engine bay? If so, Simple Green, lots of rags, different sized detail brushes and lots of elbow grease is the key to a clean bay haha. I'm not taking any paint off yet tho. I'm gonna wait to do that till I get the engine bay out down the road and start shaving the bay. Then I'll grind everything for the most part down to bare metal and just re-spray the entire bay blue again.

Small Update:


Got a few things done this past weekend (not as much as I wanted to, but some is better than none)


Mocked up the accessory wiring harness getting ready to wrap it up and bolt it to the frame...



Got the engine harness ready to go back in the car...



New hole for the harness...



Also got a few goodies in the mail today...

CDM Honda Airbag tray...


Got a hold of Frank @ Bolt Boys (Downstar Inc.) and got some new hardware for the bay too...

Hopefully I can make some good progress this coming weekend since I now have a whole 2 days a week to work on it now! w00t!

Nothing too crazy to update here but they're updates so I'ma post'em ;)


Cleaned the crap out of the overflow tank (it was basically black)...




Cleaned and cleaned and CLEANED the block...



Rubberized undercoated the underside of the fenders...



Shaved the A/C mounts off the rad support and painted where they were shaved EBP again...



Installed some new hardware from Downstar Inc...





Heat wrapped the header...



Took all the brackets off the tranny as well as got rid of the ground wire...


Moved the tranny ground wire to the back of the bay...



Relocated the valve cover ground wire to the back of the motor...


I also had Huskey Auto Electric (an awesome local business) rebuild my alternator for me this past week and got that installed as well.


Again, nothing too crazy but that's what I did with my day =)

Thanks guys!

I got the bolt kit from DownstarInc.com and it was a 27 piece kit for $27. May sound expensive but just compare that to PWJDM's bolts and they're basically free lol

Honestly I can't remember man, I got them prolly 4-5 years ago. eBay sells full skunk2 F/R camber kits for like $350 now tho.
