Looks good
when you post a WTB,just make sure that you post the year,model,Price ..etc(fill in that forum)
and then Most of all Check off your LOCATION...they hate if you do not post your Location/State.
A majority of WTB's.FS's and so on will not get Posted IF all info is NOT included in the thread.

is it me, or did you sandwitch the harness between the strut tower brace and strut tower? why the hell would you do that?

^^^he did indeed, but it's the harness for the AAS so it's probably not working anyways right? but still it seems like it'd make more sense to run the wires on top of the brace

loose all the red and wire loom and it will look much better.

yea changing it up and started with the intake. theres plenty of red tape i can remove and the reason i did that was simply because when putting on my strur bar i think it was for the rear so the bolts were wronf and i just temp bolted it on top. notice i took the red paint off my intake mani and im painting her all red this summer, i mean the outside not the engine bay. but im getting sick of feeling like a bull everytime i check the oil so ive been taking it into comsideration and betetr making desicion when it comes to sticking red tape eevrywhere, and while im on the subject what do you guys use to clean grease and oil off the bottom of the engine area, mainly for a leaking ps pump and if it is the aas and i do have the gxl can i just remove the wires?

The setup you have looks pretty, but you're sucking some hot air into your throttle body. The stock pipe and air filter setup does a good job of bringing in cooler (relative to ambient engine compartment) external air. If you don't shield this setup from hot engine compartment air you will be losing HP.

that intake looks scary. That bend right after the afm cant be optimal. But you dont need a cold air intake. I do not believe in the extra effort, esp its NA. You can get intake pipes on ebay for like 10-20 bucks, granted it could be from another car.

Are you going for a spider man theme?

canonize-ryda

first off piping on ebay was all wrong and was like 60 bucks for a prelude pipe, spider man theme is red and blue not red and black, maybe the evil spider guy but not spider man, ironically the guy that owned it before had red and blue interchanging interior pieces from different cars and i was told it was for spiderman, as far as cold air im looking into a cold air box of some kind heance my first post. now taking hypertek advice and its what i thought exactly was that coupler and yea its prob not optimal but its better than what was in there before for shure, it had a bilge pump for a boat piped into the tubing so it was unusable as such, i have a vented headlight cover in attempt to help out with its breathing

The piping looks pretty good. I really don't think it could flow any worse than the stock intake (not that they're restrictive to an NA engine anyway). Stock has three 90º turns and a 45º at the TB. This just has four 45º turns.

Just a general tip for the sake of comprehension. I'm not at all being smart-assed or cute. But you need to start using capitalization for the start of new sentences. That and fewer run-on sentences and start separating topics by paragraphs.

In one paragraph you have topics ranging from ebay, superheroes, coldair, boating and vented headlight covers. That's not counting that I can't distinguish where one sentence ends and another begins.

I'm not sure what gives me more of a headache trying to read your english or looking at all the red and black.....ok, that last one was smart-assed.

...nothing like a naggy moron to make it seem like i was asking for grammar lessons. Maybe i should go to your thread and bring up non exsistent bs just to type and add myself a post. please i didnt ask for this type of comment i asked for rotaryrockets type of comment, you know the ones filled with usefull information not someones biast opinion....

^ Like I said, I posted what I posted for your benefit. Reading your posts are quite difficult.

If I wanted to be mean I'd act much differently.

canonize-ryda

So are you saying i should push enter everytime i say something?

Like that and then just go ahead and say what i want.

Ill try much harder my bad.

(Actually looking at it it does look better,
but still im trying to kill off the whole red and black mega theme)
