the rotors are clean. i scrubbed them before i put them on. what you see are fingerprints from handling.

no point in cleaning the wheels considering we get snow/ice/rain on a bi-daily basis. hours after i took that picture it started snowing/sleeting. we actually have 3 inches of shit out there right now.

i promise to clean the car next time we get a 24 hour break from nasty weather :rolleyes:
 
It's funny.. I was just checking out a supercharger a few days ago that was larger than that.
 
funny, its the same size motor as in your crx except iron.

i think i've put more miles on that then anyone else in the last 5 years :lol:
 
big intake manifold is on.

phenolic spacer. custom. still in great shape. the gaskets were re-usable but i bought new ones.

it was tough to get in and out of the garage. about a 1inch gap between the outer lip of the SS and the concrete.

thats all for today folks.
 
everything is awesome! i really like the new wing. i wish you would fix your muffler but thats just me being anal.
 
i'd LOOOOVE to if you bought me one that wasnt a foot wide and 7 inches tall. then it would fit under correctly.
 
Are you running the wing, or not ? Or is it held on with velcro ?
 
I had an apartment in New Britain years ago. A guy had a mirage like yours with a wing on it. I thought I heard something. Low and behold someone jacked his wing off of the car.
 
the wing is on for another week, the it is getting painted.

badging!

the bumper. the c/f hood is flattening out finally. lots of time in the sun and weight on the hood to get it that far. another 1/8in to go.

I want a close-up of where the hood pins were.

And you put that front bumper on every other day too. What the fuck man ?

Do you get up 2 hours early every day "Today I'll go to work with THIS bumper, THIS exhaust, and THIS wing... Tonight I'll switch wings and throw the side skirts on"
 
I think that exhaust manifold is AWESOME. What is it ?
 
the manifold looked great for about 20 minutes after i put it on the car. its an australian header (perfectly flowed 4-1 piece, excellent tubular mandrel bent construction) from RPW. they specialize only in mitsubishi cars. they sell the best parts you can get for mitsu. they are also the only ones that make a header for the car.

4-1 flow into 2.25in collector that bolts to the OEM b-pipe, but obviously i have a civic catback on the car.
