Default Just finished up a little engine bay maker over

Ive been working at it little by little over the past few months and here are the results

Before:




-Removed power steering, Air conditioning, and ABS.
-Installed a skunk2 intake manifold
-Re-painted valve cover, plug wire cover, and intake
-Did a full headlight, corner light, and fan wire tuck
-Light engine harness tuck

here are the results:






And dont mind the header, the car will be getting ready for a bit of boost over the next few months

Let me know what you think

it drives fine without power steering, dont even notice when im rolling, and the intake fits fine, looks kinda funny but you just have to angle it down more to clear the strutbar if you have one. thanks for all the replies.

You're stupid.
just playing..its not just amenities..its also styling.
I like the way my DA looks over any civic ever made. The weight is the only thing that is its downfall. Except that my DA weighs similiar to that of say an EM1. and it has more power. so....yeah

taking out your a/c is retarded imo.. then again i live in arizona.. do you really not need it in the summer there?

and to properly remove the ps dont you have to get a different steering rack or something??

Thanks everyone for the comments but to those who think its not such a good idea, that i might as well buy a civic, everything that i removed from the car is still intact, and can be replace whenever i would like. I have removed the extra things that i dont ever use, i dont see the point in carrying it all around for no reason. thanks for the comments anyway.-anthony
