I can't wait to see the PS line tuck. For those who like to autocross or road race having power steering is a must, especially when you move to higher grip tires. 30 minute sessions with power steering can still wear your arms out. I like all the latest detail work going on!!

Would you say painting the interior is a waste of time? Thinking about trying it but dont know if I should

thanks my dood! there will always be more to come
thank you
Little update
Finally got pics of the PS line and also took the diffuser off so it wont get broken on accident at the body shop.
the pic hides it but the bay is REALLY REALLY dirty.... cons of having no fender liners
i need to figure out a solution to that.Anyhow most of you wont notice a difference so here is a before picture
and two pics of her resting
more to come ppl

Re: Mattrt09's DC5 little build
thanks man
woke up this morning bright and early to beat this texas heat.
found my stock air box, needed a good cleaning so i pulled the ol power washer out of retirement. she still ran great
cleaned it up real good. Then got to work on the bay.
Heres before shots
while that was drying i popped my gas lid and cleaned in there.
also used this opportunity to put on my JDM gas label i had sitting around forever. might be a little overkill jdm fanboy type **** but owell i like it
before
after
let the bay sit in the heat to dry up any water that might have gotten into anything important, put on the stock intake and put the final touch on and shes all done
after
also found a place to use my last bolt boys bolt
thats all for today but more to come fellers...sorry for the blurry shitty pics.

Sweet gas label. Makes it seem more like an authentic Japanese make car.
Bay looks fresh now! The stock airbox looks good too, check Easy_E's thread, he did some dyno tuning and the stock box actually put out more power than anything else he tested.
Keep it up!

And yea stuff stays pretty clean down here, only thing that does damage is the constant sun. The exterior paint can take a major beating if you dont have a garage.

Re: Mattrt09's DC5 little build
Yeah man i hear you on that. Weve been having a crazy heat wave up here in the northeast the last week and its making me want a windshield shade. Honda sells custom fit ones for $22 I might pick one up to protect the dash and interior a bit!
