Yup, thanks again man.
Well when I had the convertible, I ran an entire year without a front plate with no problems or harsh looks from cops...
But have not drove this car much yet through any towns, just local backroads(its not registered yet). But its loud, where when you stand beside it idling you can feel it in your chest... So I'll be putting a front plate on for sure.
Cops here are dicks that have nothing to do, I got chased down last week in my daily for pulling second gear on an empty backroad. Doesn't help that they hate hondas, so that thing is getting a quiet exhaust put on it, it sucks having to watch for cops every day in a car that is daily driven.

evercoat is good stuff. i grabbed a gallon of that stuff for like $20. super good deal if you plan on smashing your car up and you only want it to look good for a year at a time.
build looks good dude! i did the same stuff when i first got mine.
srsly though, spray those purple wheels black atleast (or gunmetal grey) on your daily haha investing $15 to fix get rid of that color is acceptable! lol

Thanks dude. Yeah painting the car is on the priority list right next to going stand alone. But will wait until I'm done with school, land a job, and get settled in a bit before I go dumping more cash into this.

Well being this is at the top, I'll update a bit...
Put insurance on it today, and took its first long drive. As paranoid as I was(brought with me pretty much every tool I have and a gallon of water for a fire extinguisher-just in case lol), but it ran excellent. Quite certain I toasted the wideband 02 sensor though....
Have it set at 9psi, as I don't want to push anything hard at this point and break ****. Pulls great.
But damn that Corksport exhaust is loud, did a pull under an overpass, ***** deafening. If anyones running that exhaust on a n/a, you have ***** lol.
But finished all the odds and ends up on the car, got the engine bay looking pretty decent, etc, etc...
I'll clean the engine bay up some and try and take some good pics.

^Thanks man, looking at the progress on your car is driving me crazy on wanting to make my car look good lol.
Cleaned it up today, spent a bit of time cleaning the engine bay up, but its hot and bugs were bad, so I kind of cut it short.
Anyhow, engine pics:

On the passenger side I just put the relays and fuel pump resistor under the coolant reservoir up front, it was easy to do and looks 10x better imo.
The injector resistor box was kind of random though lol.

haha yeah my goal was to keep the fenders clean of everything. There is no good way of relocating the main fuse box, no mater where it would go its just a mess of wires. Some day I'm going to figure something out with that, I do not want to cut and lengthen the wires though.
I did have to lengthen a few wires though, not that bad. Once I loom the wires it wont look bad.

Something crazy awesome came from japan this week!
Been looking for this scoop for a long time, and I received word that one was available at the absolute worse possible time for me financially. So it was kind of one of those deals where I cut back on food and gas and whatnot to be able to save up enough to buy this. Definitely worth it lol.
Got to give great props to CWestFD3S on getting this for me, and being patient with me on the whole deal.
