I'm using crome.

I did my valve adjustment tonight and the car purrs like a kitten. Finally got rid of that nasty valve train noise. I also painted my vc metallic orange

valves adjusted and valve cover painted. something came uop and i had to leave right then, so i effed up the paint on the vc trying to put it on, so i have to redo that. but the car runs so smooth now with no noise at all



my honda girl, she helped me out. what do you guys think? marry her?

started mocking up charge pipes, just for shits and gigs



which turned into doing this



and in order for that to work i had to do this






and so far, everything is clearing a/c and power steering! im hype. im really ready to get this done

Ok guys so the build is out of steam until I get my taxes back. All I need is an oil pan gasket, a catch can, tune and then a 3" exhaust

Loving all your cars, especially your prelude. That thing was gorgeous. The new teg looks good.
