You two have some empty *** engine bays. Nice! I like the white (ish)valve cover especially.

Is that a Monster drink under your top radiator hose Mykizism...?

I moved it under the battery and attached a coolent line to it so it won't overheat. Vtec is not expensive, it's a the little things you have to do with it that adds up (oil flush every 500 miles, spray break cleaner on it every 50 miles so it retains it's Bling bling, ect.) ... Yeah, so that's were i moved my Vtec to.

Its not really a performance factor its more of having a clean and organized engine bay.

The breather cap lets vapors out and stops bad things from getting in IE water, dirt. They come stock on Jeep axles, so I would say Auto Zone? I had an extra from my Jeep build that I used.
