Thread split Boost and appearance are too different. Appearance is pretty much done though.

Bubble bath time! (Actually, you don't wanna take a bath in that chemical mix. IT BURRNNSS US!)

I spent extra time pre-cleaning the y8. The y7 is grungy. And I have a special plan for it...

BOOK ENDS! Because that's all the y7 intake mani is good for. That or scrap.

There is no comparison. Y7 vs Y8, y8 wins!

Damn those cleaned up real nice. I expect everything in this build to be that clean now. The block better be shinier than that.

Oh it will be. There's a method to my madness. Everything is clean to start with so I can spot oil leaks.

Hey i didnt see anything about the valve covers being painted or maybe i just missed it...did u paint it yet? If so, what color u go with? If not i think a red would go nicely with the color of ur exterior. Or the silver but with the HONDA in black

Mine is already black with polished letters. But the new one will be color matched to the body.

How well painted is that one you have right now?

I might have to buy it off you if you'll let me. I really want a gloss black valve cover but I suck at paint and I want it to look good and last.
