They have been FIRED....!

Then replaced....!

And FINALLY, My new look engine bay.....!!!

Today I picked up a pair of identicle Fusion 600w 4 chanel amps.

So it will be time to start on my boot install.

1 amp to run the car speakers. And one to run the 2x 800w Pioneer subs.

i have a clear plan on what i'm doing. Hope to show you all soon. Perhaps a week or so.....

Well, as most of us know, building cars is generally about finding the next weakest link.

Well my car found it's next weakest link. Which after putting in a big clutch, was the clutch hydraulics.

My clutch master cylinder shit it's self.

So $133.00, and an hour and a half later, I now have new clutch master and slave cylinders.

I was instantly surprised by how smooth my clutch was. Or more to the point. It made me realise how bad it had been before. Either way, it's one step ferther towards being compleated. (if there is such a thing)

What brand headers did you get? Does the car sound sexier now? Your engine bay is neat as.

**ThePacman** · 19-10-2010 02:01 PM

The headers were a cheap generic brand, off ebay.
I figure there was no sence spending big dollars on headers which were going to be switched out as soon as the snail goes in anyhow.
Even considering that, yes the car sounds better. Much better. My daughter heard me drive up the street (hitting Vtec) and said to her brother,'what a cool sounding car!' she had to come out and see that it was me before she would believe her brother... LOL
there was also a marked increase in torque and top end power....
i only fitted them to improve the look of the engine bay untill I get the turbo fitted. (that heat sheild realy SUCKED)

That's fair enough. How much they set you back? Thought your daughter would love the Honda? Girls usually like them.

The headers only cost me $95USD + shipping but the AUD wasn't as strong back then.

Basically I got both the headers AND the Angel eyes at my door for just under $400 AUD.

And yeah. She does love it. She's only 11. But showing good taste in cars already.

My 16 year old son loves it too. Especially when I let him drive to school. (he's got his learners now). He just loves pulling up in the lude in front of all his mates....
