Figured I'd show off my ride here...
Just a simple EM1.
Debadged everything except the DOHC VTEC stickers and the trunk lid H emblem.
Kumho AST 205/50/15s on stock rims. (yes this particular rim has been curbed... yay for rain and ********)
Engine shots.
My Injen CAI... that I sawzalled to a short ram.
Yeah the filter didn't get cleaned too well, planning on a new one eventually...
DC Sports 4-1
I'm getting a refund on the exhaust I bought in 05, sooo I'll be buying a new exhaust shortly. When that goes on I'll be doing my IM, short throwcoilovers/shocks and LCAs.
Looks decent for what it's been through.

It's a really nice car. You should clean your engine bay though. Why did you cut your intake? You could have sold it an bought a short ram and maybe made some money while you were at it.

I didn't feel like trying to cap off the 3rd sensor hole because the EM1 uses one sensor and one vacuum hose.
I cut it because during the harsher months up here, we get tons of rain and I was sick of being paranoid about the massive puddles that form.
As far as cleaning the engine bay... I dunno. It's a daily driver that's barely driven much anymore. As long as it gets the job done, I'm happy with it for now. Cosmetically, the paint isn't in TOO good of shape either.

Looks good, hit it with some simple green then mist water over it, easy fix really.

Just an FYI, when you pull the LCAs, have handheld wheel grinder and acetylene torch available. I can almost guarantee you that you will snap the bolt that connects the rear brake to the LCA.
