Jeez. That engine bay looks like you dug it up out of the Sahara desert.

At least I know nothing is leaking.
Are these what the OEM HX wheels look like?
Yes, 11.75 lbs. Extremely light rims which lower the rotating mass and thus increase fuel economy.

Whoever did it couldn't even bother using a proper clamp to hold it on. Electrical tape wrapped around the MAP sensor...yeah, that's a GREAT idea.

You need to unfuck that **** with a quickness.

No way. I think I'm going to put one of those on my Del Sol.

K&N started a new budget brand looks exactly like that. It's called K&R&A&P. $145 and they send you a half roll of electrical tape and a randomly shaped generic air filter.

Someone totally ripped you off on that sale. Those stock hx rims are worth it, they're 14's so its not that small. I think the vx rims were 13's.

That piping is suppose to help connect vacuum from the intake arm to the valve cover. See attached image.

Got my e-bay intake installed.
Now I have to order a IAT sensor oil and tuneup parts and clean the engine bay up some!
I do plan on swapping a nice K&N filter for the cheap e-bay one.

Holy ****.......It looks like the car sat for a while. And you also need a battery tie down

I was told it sat for about 6 years.
I have a blue bungee cord holding the battery down.
The battery in the car is too big for the OEM tie down bracket.

Front and rear main seals, oil pan, cam seal, distributor o-rings...An engine is an engine. The seals are, for the most part, the same.
