ED9 Mid-swap pics (opinions welcome)

Hey All-

Halfway through putting a B16 in my ED9...what do u guys think about the valve cover? Im going to sand off the letters to be polished again once i can get it over to the shop and can get a air tool to do it with.

Re: ED9 Mid-swap pics (JDM EF9)

Nah its just Duplicolor Graphite wheel paint misted on, kind of like all the how-tos on the JDM do-it-yourself red cover. I just Jasco'ed all the old crinkle finish off, and did about 10 coats lightly dusted on for the crinkle effect. Kinda wanted it to look like stock just a different color.

Which radiator hoses are those? And how much do they run? I painted my old wheels that same color with that same paint...Metallic flakes go everywhere!

Re: ED9 Mid-swap pics (ThunderLips)

Hey-

They are Samco Sport hoses from the UK, they are kind of hard to find in the US, not alot of people stock them. I got them from a member on H-T Named Benson, he runs a shop in SF called CB Performance and can get them quickly for a great price. 415-775-4294. I used a 91 integra LS set on my car and they fit perfectly.

No, its really not me. Some other dude, dont know who it is. I dont really check vortex that much, my name is toddvwvr6 on there, I only really frequent the 337 forum and its pretty much packed with elitest ****** for the most part.
