Just go to car wash dude.... spray that engine degreaser before anything else.... than wash your whole entire car [bout 10-15 min] than pop hood open again and power rinse that ish off....

you dont really have to.... but i would cover up the main harness connections at least. but mostly dont spray with a pressure washer at connections and sensors. turn the pressure down or just garden hose it and wipe it off with a old towel.

I have stock airbox FTW and I just spray "around the dizzy" So I don't cover anything Just if I see wires in an area I dont hose it down with the full pressure.

And I lack that sensor also haha

Called didnt f'n start while i was at a gas station. im sitting there trying to turn it on (problem has happened where i drive somewhere, turn the car off to go somewhere, come out and try to start and it doesnt, but it will eventually start). and have the gas lady attendant laughing and talking **** out the intercom. no idea what she was saying, she was an idian lady. pissed the f out of me. asked my aunt to come and jump me and eventually turned on. go home and test the battery and the battery was no good. this is the 3rd time i got a bad battery from walmart, they should really call them neverstart instead og everstart. got a battery from advanced autoparts, that battery was also bad. put the new one in, and still will take long to turn over. figured it was the starter and changed the starter to a used one that i had laying around. car is good now.

Really f-ing stoked, just got my fat fives that I paid 100$ on cl for wrapped in some tires 195-50-15 and it looks really f-ing good. Tires were 80$ used but have insane amounts of tread left on them. No more ghetto 17's! And believe it or not, fat 5s dont look bad on an ek! I just need to get rid of the acura center caps. Next up is the drop that came with the wheels I bought (new in box tein s-techs) and an alignment and she will be good to go... I cant believe that I scored these for 100$ on CL that is a steal!

Edit: Pics to come
