This really isn't FI related too much but I'd rather post in here than in appearance/cosmetic. Back in '01 the civic caught fire and did some pretty good damage to the engine bay and one of my fenders as you can see the primer in this pic.


I ended up having to spray paint the entire engine bay when I reconstructed the car, but never got around to painting the new rad support that I welded on. So I figured I'd do it now while getting the fenders repainted.






One can of pep boys body shop paint later it looked like this








Slapped on my freshly painted fenders and now its good to go again.

Thats pretty much it as far as the important stuff goes. The fire started when I was running 2 additional injectors and an external coil years ago. One of the fuel lines had a small slit in it. Fuel started spraying and got ignited, causing my engine bay to go up in flames. Everything plastic, rubber or wire melted. It was a lengthy repair, but I got it done. All the work was done by myself with the exception of the tuning, which was done by Jeff Evans, and the paint which was done by Larry Verdusco. So far the car is only tuned at 8 psi. I've been having issues with this damn profec b for a while now. I'm pretty sure the solenoid fried when it got too hot in the engine bay from the fire. Anyone know if the actual solenoid is supposed to make a click sound when you switch from high to low boost? I dunno, right now I'm just focusing on getting an EBC that actually works. In December I'm going to try to crack 300 whp with Jeff's help. I'll get some pics up later.
