I wasn't ever planning on it. I can very easily learn how to do it if I must though.

Called wreckers today, at least one of them has a BP... but I want to check my favourite one first. I'll slowly collect all the peices and slap them all in in the fall.
June 18.

I'm feeling more and more like a ricer. Altezzas, painted engine, and a SOHC.
To polish bolt heads, use a wire wheel on anything. Or, I very lightly put it into the chuck on a drill and then used the brush on the rotating bolt. Shiney shiney!

Who can paint the exhaust mani cover while its still in the bay? The 4 Cyl guys! Just remove the air box feeder. You can sand it easily too.
Dont flame me, I know its a rusty pile, and its still got holes, but when it flakes and looks like hell, it will be more inspiration to get a BP....
I don't want to remove the intake. Its too hard. but I have a painted one waiting. Looks silly now, though, doesnt it...
I got the spoiler from my favouritest place, Bucks Autoparts. She gave it to me for $20 simply because I don't drive a civic
What I have waiting... but don't want to disable my car with...

vc does look really nice. So is the spoiler an aftermarket spoiler then? Can't wait to see some pics with it on the car!

Today I got home, opened my door, and THEN turned off my car.
I have an exhaust leak.
When my engine is changing RPMS, I can hear the pooting. Its right before my cat. If the RPMS are constant, its quiet.
Weld it? Put some bubble gum in it? Buy a whole new 2.5" exhaust for my BP?

Stupid. I should install tiny fans, like you see in laptops.... or just sillicone them to death and drill some 1/16 holes.
Oh, and at the top of the page, on my VC, there is tapped hole right in the middle? what is supposed to go in there?

Have you checked where the exhaust leak exactly? I had one in my downpipe (90 bend) and it wasnt too expensive to just replace it and replace the 2 gaskets.

No I'm not 100% sure. Next saturday I'll slam it up on the hoist for 10 secconds and feel for it.

Thats a coat hanger I use for painting. The thing on it is my VAF, which if you look in the picture below, is prettier than usual
