Black bay was cool until you made this post lol.

The filler was applied in small thin layers, no a goop job. After the outside gets done, i don't want to see a thing of sand paper again. lol.

Sorta shaved, Sorta tucked. First honda ever, let alone first build on anything.

Im going to be doing something with the brake booster here and brake lines shortly, just not quite sure what. Been wanting to re-do the bay purple as well, but will probably just leave it be for a while.

You can do that. I decided to keep mine for ease of service. The clip onto the support bracket under the manifold and are out of sight anyway.

But be careful and pay attention to what goes where. There are actually two separate circuits in each plug, so you'll need to create four junctions on you harness to replace them.

thats cool, so each plug has 2 earth clusters in. so i need to split the plugs and join all the earths on each circuit into a single node then insulate. that should save me alot of room and make the loom alot smaller, cheers man

I think the 2002 comment was meaning that it's an old car. Maybe 4 or more years ago it was done.

Those ITB's are A Sports.
